Came in for a date night class. The instructors were all very friendly. They said they would call…read moreme to tell me when my pieces were ready but never got a call. After calling them to see if the pieces were ready, we came back to glaze our pieces. We were met by Kyle, who was rude from the moment we walked in. They told us to just pick a color off a clipboard and they will do it for us. When we asked if we can do it ourselves, Kyle was dismissive and made us feel bad for wanting to do something we looked forward to doing.

I honestly can not stop talking about The Hive Pottery studio. The owner, employees and members are…read moreall so friendly. Everyone is willing to help each other to further their skills. The studio offers a wide array of classes and the skills you learn can make you a professional potter because these teachers are seriously that good. If not interested in taking classes then you can do a studio membership. The membership is the most affordable pottery membership in the area and the studio is open 7 days a week with hours as late as 8:30pm. However, once you see all the work done in classes you will want to take a class and that's okay, they will pause your membership while you take a class.

This place full of interactive, submersible art in the Warehouse District is the perfect spot to spend a hot or rainy day-and just get lost in the exhibit. It's a vibe, a mood, a vacation from the ordinary-and after visiting once, I've got to go back. Fairgrounds is located near Tropicana Field. We went on a Saturday in October 2023. It was busy, but not crowded. We were able to wander and explore at our own pace and to our hearts' delight. If you love old Florida, B movies and all things fun and fresh, you'll dig this place. The staff was really friendly-you can get tickets online, or in person when you get there-and parking was easy the day we were there. Have fun exploring. This will scratch your kitsch itch.

Madeline was our instructor and was fabulous. Very kind, informative and patient. We each created three pieces and were able to keep our two best. Once completed, we moved to the glazing station and were able to personalize our pieces. All materials were included. Bring a beach towel to throw over your lap to dry your hands and prepare to get a little messy! We met a lovely couple who were also "throwing" for the first time. It was a surprise birthday present from her husband. We had a lot of fun and can't wait to see our finished works of art once they are fired. Additionally they have lovely pieces for sale made by local artisans who rent cubicles in the studio.

I bought a deal on Groupon. Their website makes it easy to redeem your Groupon as you just pick the…read moreclass that is marked for Groupons. The only tricky part is that the classes are small so finding availability can be tough. One thing I will say is that if you purchase a Groupon, this is not a one-day task completion. You have to throw your pieces during the wheel class and then schedule yourself to come back in a few weeks after the pieces are dry and glaze your pottery. Then, you have to come back in a few weeks to pick up your finished pottery. My class was in mid-January. I came back to glaze in mid-February and then due to the coronavirus, I just picked up my finished pieces last weekend. They hold your finished pieces for about 3 months. The staff was very pleasant in all aspects of this business. I had to email early on since my Groupon was about to expire and they didn't have availability and they pleasantly let me know I could schedule even if my Groupon expired. I won't say that this will happen for you, but I thought it was nice. The lady that taught the wheel throwing class was also very patient and focused on making sure you made a quality piece that you could be proud of. You get to throw two pieces, so if you mess up one, then you have a backup. The class was for about 1-2 hours. When I came back to glaze about 3 weeks later, it was nice to just sit and paint amongst other amateurs guessing how their pieces would turn out after they were fired. It was kind of calming just painting. I had to email again to ask if I would be able to pick up my pieces as I didn't want them to be tossed out. The staff again kindly let me know how long they keep pottery. Then, coronavirus happened and I think everyone's policies changed daily. The staff still assured me that my pieces would be there when I contacted them through Facebook messenger. Nonetheless, I'm happy with the pieces I made. Even though the whole process from start to finish took a while, I think this activity was great for the price I paid on Groupon.
