    We had a great time during our beginners class. Gaby was our teacher and she did great. We were able to create our 2 pieces and for 10$ could fire and glaze a third which was payable extra by Zelle at the end of the class. Whether we wanted to keep a 3rd or not we could still mess around with it. We were taught all of the steps of throwing the clay on a wheel and I think I'm in love with pottery now. The only horrible thing is having to wait weeks to get your stuff back but it's part of the process :)

    This class was well instructed and fun! Pottery is very tricky but we had lots of guidance and was able to complete two pieces . I finally picked up my pieces and love the outcome! Would love to come back and try again.

    These were the four we created and each person gets to choose two which come with the price of the class

    Such a fun experience! We took a 2 hour beginner's class on pottery on a Saturday afternoon and really enjoyed our time. The class had a maximum 8 people in it, so it was a very intimate and detailed course. The instructor walks you through the basics of how to use the equipment, and while they let you really learn to properly create your pottery, they will step in and get hands on to help fix any mistakes you may make along the way. It was a really enjoyable (and frustrating lol) class that allowed enough time for us to create 3 pieces. You're able to keep 2 that are included with the cost of the course or pay an additional $10 to keep the 3rd piece. Highly recommend for anyone interested in learning the basics or even just experiencing an intimate social setting of people interested in creating!

    I'm always looking for activities to do and pottery had been on my mind for a while. After searching on Event Brite, i came across this studio. Once i checked out their website, i realized they had a variety of class times which is always convenient. Since my party was a group of 6 i wanted to ensure we had different days/times to choose from. I went on a Tuesday @6 pm and we were the only class being taught so i liked the intimacy of the experience. Our instructor walked us through each step and assisted us whenever the clay would break. It was a bit challenging but the process in itself is complex. The only down side is they were $30 more per person than this other pottery studio in Miami. Nonetheless, i thoroughly enjoyed my time here and I can't wait to glaze my pieces in the next upcoming weeks!

    My mom and I had an amazing experience here taking our first ever pottery class. The studio is GORGEOUS and it was so affordable. The class was super beginner-friendly, the teacher helped us and was hands on the whole way through. Can't say enough good things about this place, go stop by and see it for yourself !

It is a must if you want to improve your skills. Don't waste time and money on classes that don't teach the basics with quality tools and materials.

After some beginning exercises, you get to pick whatever you want to paint. I have never seen anyone leave with a bad painting. I don't even know how Tom does what he does, but he manages to coax the best out of every student. I've been going for three years now. I had never taken painting lessons before. I'm always surprised by how good my paintings look. My classmates have all created really excellent work. Some of my fellow students are art teachers. Some are art students putting together portfolios. Most of us are just hobbyists. The classes are de-stressing and fun. They always go too fast, even though they are 3 hours. I highly recommend these classes for anyone who has ever wanted to paint. I can't speak for the other classes, but there other types of art taught like sculpture and fashion design. The work I've seen from those students is really terrific too. I'm no Monet, but I've included three photos of my work so you can see what to expect in the way of results. I had never done an oil painting in my life before joining the class. I had never had a painting lesson since 8th grade. If I can do it, you can do it.

    Seven Layer - My handmade candle created during an amazing candle-making experience, so beautiful and unique!

    My husband and I came to Seven Layer for our wedding anniversary and did the candle-making…read moreexperience. We absolutely loved it! The space is beautiful, bright, and really cute, with so many different candles and fragrances displayed throughout. The experience was fun and interactive from start to finish. We got to smell all of the different fragrances, choose our favorites, and blend them together to create our own custom scents. There were so many options that narrowing them down was probably the hardest part! I ended up creating a vacation-inspired scent with sandalwood, Coconut Margarita, and Vacay Me Please, and I loved how it turned out. You also get a free drink with the experience. I chose the lychee drink and it was really good! It was a nice little addition while we were making our candles. The staff was friendly and walked us through the entire process while still giving us room to experiment and create something that was actually ours. One of my favorite parts is that they save your candle blend to your profile, so if you love what you created, you can reorder the exact same scent in the future. This was such a cute anniversary date and something different from just going out to dinner. We had a great time, got to create something together, and now we have our own custom candles to remember the experience. Definitely 5 stars and I would absolutely come back!

    My husband booked the perfume-making experience at Seven Layers Perfumerie as an anniversary gift,…read moreand unfortunately the experience fell short of what we were expecting. When we arrived, we were the only guests there and were greeted by a young employee who was pleasant, but seemed unsure of the process herself and appeared to be following a script to guide us. We selected our fragrance notes and brought the bottles back to the counter, only to then be told we were only supposed to bring the scent strips. It was a small thing, but it added to the feeling that the experience wasn't being clearly explained or guided. Once we sat down to actually create our fragrances, we really needed more help understanding how to build and balance a scent. Instead, there were periods where our host was texting, seemingly trying to get guidance from someone else. Neither my husband nor I felt confident about what we were creating, and unfortunately we both ended up leaving with fragrances we didn't really like. Our package also included a drink, and when my husband asked about it, we were told she was under 21 and therefore unable to pour it. I completely understand that she legally could not serve alcohol, but if that is part of the package being sold, I feel there should have been someone present who could actually provide the full experience we paid for. What was supposed to be a fun, romantic anniversary activity ended up feeling awkward and rushed, and by the end we honestly just wanted to leave. I think the concept is wonderful, but for an experience like this, especially at this price point, the person hosting really needs to be knowledgeable and confident enough to guide guests through fragrance building from beginning to end. I hope this was simply an off day, because the idea has so much potential, but unfortunately our experience was disappointing.

They have literally everything that you need - all tools and materials, even gloves and band-aids for those beginner blisters and free water for your studio time. Blacksmithing itself is definitely way harder than I anticipated, but with their help I was able to make my first piece and I'm so proud of it. They offer tons of classes (blacksmithing and other crafts like leatherwork and welding), as well as studio time along with your sessions to come back and practice. I had a little trouble with the heat so I think I'll need to wait until things cool down again to give blacksmithing another try, but I can't wait to come back and try knife-making! If you're like me and have been itching to try those traditional Ren Faire crafts, be sure to check this place out!

    FIVE STARS. FIVE FLAMES. FIVE REASONS TO CANCEL YOUR BORING LIFE…read more Let's be clear. Pompano Beach is known for sunshine, ocean breeze, retirees on bicycles... and now apparently, a full-blown cathedral of fire and skill hiding in plain sight. The Guild is not a "cute workshop." It's not Pinterest. It's not "sip and glue." It's heat. Steel. Sparks. Sweat. Focus. This Valentine's Day, I didn't take Julia to dinner. I didn't buy flowers that would wilt faster than a South Florida ice cube. I brought her here. Six hours. Not a tourist demo. Not a 90-minute novelty class. Six hours in front of a forge forging a heart-shaped candle holder with our own hands. Hammer by hammer. Reheat. Adjust. Strike. Repeat. Learning that steel has rules--and if you ignore them, it punishes you. And here's what makes The Guild different: They don't just teach blacksmithing. They teach skills. Real skills. The kind that make your brain fire differently. The kind that remind you you're capable of more than scrolling and complaining about traffic. Under master instruction from real working craftsmen--not influencers, not hobbyists, not YouTube theorists--you feel the weight of competence in the room. Calm. Precise. Zero fluff. This place teaches: * Blacksmithing * Metalwork * Practical craftsmanship * Discipline * Patience * Teamwork * How not to panic when something is literally glowing red In a world built on disposable nonsense, The Guild builds permanence. You leave tired in the best way. You leave with calluses. You leave with something you made that will outlive your streaming subscriptions. And here's the wild part: You find your tribe. The slightly unhinged, joy-filled, skill-hungry humans who think "let's hit hot steel with hammers" is a perfect date night. Five stars isn't enough. This is five roaring forges and a standing ovation. If you're in South Florida and you want more than beaches and brunch-- If you want to actually learn something-- If you want a date night that doesn't involve a waiter explaining foam-- Go to The Guild. Hit the steel. And remember you're not fragile.
