You can also create a private workshop with family/friends if you want so share the experience with people you know. The space is open, inviting and super clean for a pottery studio! The staff and instructors are really nice and helpful and their prices are competitive with other pottery studios in the area. This is not just a paint your pottery type of studio, it's the real deal where you learn how to make ceramic pottery/art from scratch! I love this place.

My friends and I signed up for a one day pottery workshop and it couldn't have been a better…read moreexperience!! The three of us joined three others on a Saturday morning for a class using the pottery wheel. Rezgar Mamandi was our teacher- he was patient, kind and I learned so much! He has a wonderful rhythm to his teaching that allows all to find success - he demonstrates each step while thoroughly explaining, gives you time to try it while supervising and supporting, then allowing all to try and answering any and all question. out pieces were fired and we came back a few weeks later to paint our pieces. I picked them up today and I just feel so proud of the three pieces I made...and I can't wait to take more classes!

Very cute spot for a date! My boyfriend and I went and got matching mugs to paint. It was a very…read morepeaceful place. Seating was rather limited, so I would go early or reserve a spot (which I believe you can do). There is a variety of colors to choose from and have samples to know how the paint will look when fired. Some people have already mentioned it, but I highly recommend doing multiple layers. Our mugs ended up streaky in some spots. The paint dries fairly quickly, so it wasn't too bad applying layers. There were a lot of pottery pieces to choose from. I wish there were more like basic pieces though to have a more blank canvas. The prices were reasonable for each piece! The prices were written on the bottom. The firing process took about a week. My boyfriend and I have been using our mugs almost every day and they have held up well! Paint on mine did chip on the side, but my boyfriend's mug has been completely fine.

However, as a subscribing member I have space, great light, other artists to interact with - for so much less then I'd be paying for a cramped space by myself.

This business did a camp at our kids school and had to be supervised at the end of camp as the…read moreemployees were acting in manners so inconsistent with the schools values that the administrator and teachers did not feel comfortable leaving the instructors with the kids. The instructors were yelling at the kids to the point teachers were hearing it throughout the school. The instructors kept making statements about the kids not looking at them like "they were stupid" or "dont act like you're stupid." What made it even worse was this employees behavior was excused and the owner said she was regretful. This behavior shows prejudice and is not a simple mistake when the instructors make this statement over and over for a 6 hour class.

I've worked with Daria and Kirill for a long time, and they are absolutely fantastic. Both are…read moresome of the best ballroom dance teachers I've ever worked with: they have an extensive knowledge of dance, and yet keep all lessons fun and engaging. The dance classes I've taken with them (which have involved everything from ballroom fundamentals to rhythm/Latin dancing and even some occasional ballet-type training) have been consistently top notch. Better still, they genuinely care about their students' dancing: you can tell that they spend a lot of time outside of the studio thinking about how to help their students succeed. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to anyone, from people with no dance experience whatsoever to experienced DanceSport competitors. Daria and Kirill's new studio, Loudoun School of the Arts, is just as amazing as they are. It's massive, bright, clean, and really conveniently-located, making it ideal for anyone in Northern Virginia. Loudoun School of the Arts is also more than a dance studio: it hosts a wide variety of art, dance, and exercise classes, meaning that it feels far more active and diverse than other dance studios in the area. I have absolutely no doubt that Loudoun School of the Arts is going to become a powerhouse, both in terms of the dance world as well as in terms of providing fantastic art classes in Northern Virginia.
