My Step-daughter and I bought a package and it was reasonable for all the services that Rita provided. She is welcoming, funny and a very good teacher (when you need it). I had never taken a painting class before and her encouragement and help had boosted my confidence as I have learned. So grateful we found Rita - I couldn't imagine taking classes anywhere else. We will be signing up for another package after this one. Highly recommend

After attending multiple sessions primarily due to being very local the owners final lie prompted…read moremy need to leave a review. It's a shop that nickle and dimes the students offers inarticulate instruction and is always dusty and dirty. Expect the owner to act and treat you as if you are an inconvenience his production work after lame excuses that come with a very practiced fake smile. If you can put up with that kind attitude then the good is that the wheels are weak to decent and the glazes ok once you figure them out.. but don't expect guidance. Tools are limited and begrudgingly shared so expect to bring your own.

Booked a class on a Sunday for Valentines Day and loved it!…read more We had Urszula as our instructor and she did not disappoint. She has a great sense of pacing and gives participants autonomy to express their own touches to pieces. She gave me really helpful pointers as it was my first time doing a class and I loved how she demonstrated on her own plate to show me how to blend colors if I wanted to and did not simply do it for me. If you are 21+, they are very accommodating with BYOB providing ice, glasses, and OJ for mimosas! Whether it's a group of friends, galentines, or date night, I highly recommend giving this place a try!

I'm currently taking a six week course in wheel throwing, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it! I love…read morethe laid back style, and the freedom to which we're given as students to experiment (and, as is often the case with first time anything, make mistakes) with the clay. I enjoy the hands-on format of the instruction, and it's always a relief to know that you don't just have one hunk of clay to work with during the lesson. The studio is airy and spacious with lots of awesome pottery in various stages of finishing to look at, from both instructors and students. There's also a little alcove of free art (clay projects left behind) that you can claim as your own as you head back to your car. The whole process of being at Centered Clay feels very mindful, even the prep and clean up processes. It's a reprieve from the rest of the daily grind in the week. If you're on the fence about trying a class, I would encourage you to try one out! The atmosphere is conducive to making art and enjoying a calm time with clay and others.

It's more of a freestyle experience, where you can either draw inspiration from the beautiful sample pieces or create something entirely original. Emily, the instructor, is welcoming and hands-off, offering helpful tips and great conversation. You won't leave with a finished piece, as it takes about three weeks to dry and fire, but you can return for a glazing party later. They offer other classes too, so it's definitely worth checking out!

The BEST artist I have ever encountered in my life. From the moment my husband and I first called…read moreJudith, we received such kindness on the phone and we knew this was a special person who would only positively contribute to our wedding day. When we first met with her, we were even more happy as she was able to offer us great suggestions in designing our custom made ketubah. Judith is incredible! She's talented beyond belief, her ketubahs are true works of art as she puts everything into her art work and that feeling is definitely portrayed through the beauty of her pieces. She created such a beautiful masterpiece for us and we now are proud to display it at our home. I cannot even tell you guys how many compliments I have received on our piece. It is absolutely exceptional and the first time I saw it, I couldn't imagine a more perfect piece symoblizing the relationship between my husband and I. If you want a perfect, unique, exceptional and mostly custom made art work done by a special person, choose Judith Joseph. The colors turned out unbelievable as she uses a special kind of paint in her work made out of egg yolk I believe. From all our wedding "vendors" we could not be happier with the work that Judith did for us that we will have as a lasting memory for the rest of our lives. We actually look forward to working with Judith again in the future for a different type of art work.
