We got to choose between a mug, bowl, or plate but you can modify the exact shape or depth and they help you do that! We were there for about two hours and it was plenty of time to make our pottery and paint. Definitely search up some ideas or a Pinterest board for inspiration beforehand since we all spent so long there trying to decide.

This summer 2023 I decided to spend some time to explore pottery making. I chose this studio…read morebecause I wanted to try out pottery making first with a one day experience ( use the wheel with their expert guidance, create a finished piece and paint the piece). I loved my process during the one day wheel experience and decided to take their 4 week wheel classes. I mostly learned from their staff Danielle and she was an excellent teacher! One day wheel experience - $48 per person - perfect friend hangout or date activity! - make 1 piece on the wheel with expert staff guidance with options to make 1 more piece on your own - paint your piece with engobes paint and pick up your piece after a few weeks! 4 week classes - $200 total- such a good deal! Weekly 1 hr classes that includes all supplies, glazes and firing - make atleast 2 pieces depending on how your skills progress throughout the classes. I made 6 pieces but only took home 4! - I was a beginner so Danielle focused on throwing cylinders. However I wish there could be more variety in throwing different shapes- like a bowl - I learned so much from each class from wedging clay, centering, making even walls, trimming, making and attaching handles I loved my experience here and I'll be back to utilize their studio space for wheel throwing as well as glaze some of their premade pieces

We got to pick from the opaque traditional wax or a clear liquid and from several types of glassware to put the candles in. You can make an aquarium with sand and little fish and shells inside which was neat and you pick your own scent or even mix up a couple and invent your own scent. The cost was pretty high at $35 and $40 but it was a fun experience. I think it would be neat if they started a "bring your own" glass jar program at a lower cost because we have so many empty candle containers and glasses at home it would be nice to be able to recycle them! Also, I somehow managed to get red dye allll over my clothes so I recommend wearing clothes you don't care too much about! I do wish they had had aprons available for open studio. And check the hours ahead of time before going in because sometimes they close early if there's a class scheduled.

I got this private clay throwing class as a surprise for my wife. We absolutely loved it. It was so…read moremuch fun making our pieces. Cait was so sweet (& her French Bulldog Reggie). I made a vase. My wife made a bowl & lid. I accidentally broke a part of my vase off at the top while making it. But Cait gave me a great idea. Why not put roses at that spot? She showed me how to make them. I would have never thought that I could make something like this. 2 weeks later we went back to paint our pieces (a few doors down at a different studio). Even after a few coats, the paint looked dull. Then we went back at a later time to pick our pieces up. WOW!! You can see in the included photos. The firing brings the colors out so vibrant. It was worth every penny for this wonderful experience with such a wonderful staff. Thank you. We look forward to our next visit.

LONG BRANCH: Blue Skies Pottery is a new addition to the popular Pier Village complex and it…read moreprovides a fun activity for people of all ages! A full service pottery shop, customers have the option to paint ready-made pottery, use a pottery wheel to craft a piece from scratch, or really get hands-on and use your hands to mold your own beautiful work of art. At the Yelp New Jersey Elite event, the hand building class was quite an experience where the friendly owners and staff showed us how to take a ball of clay and using pinch pot form, style it into a bowl. Once the bowl shape took form, we embellished the clay with molds to add design elements. I loved the paw print mold! The staff was very helpful to assist and made sure the art was sturdy and ready for the oven. We got to pick what color we wanted and the staff will paint it later. Pieces are usually ready 3-4 weeks after your visit, so it is a great reason to come back to the area to pick up the finished art. I loved to learn the location is dog friendly, as long as your dog is well-behaved. Since the experience requires full attention and is hands-on, being in control of your pup is extra important. There was a doggie guest there during my visit and was a perfect pup. Blue Skies Pottery also hosts events and collaborates with local businesses including hosting a paw print ornament workshop with the pet store next door. Thanks to Katarina for planning this event and to the owners Valerie & Jordan for welcoming us! Nimra & Andrew were helpful staff members and supportive of all the creativity. In addition to Long Branch, they also have a store in Hoboken!

My daughter had a candy in her hand, the woman walked over to us immediately and took her candy and made her wash her hands (didn't give her back the wrapped candy after either) they made us try on dresses with the door ajar (she's a 7 year old girl this should not be policy), they rushed and made what should've been a beautiful shopping experience into an uncomfortable one. They must've felt my distaste as the one sales associate left and the other one, much nicer, came over to help us. Although they watched my every move and followed me around the store as if I'd actually steal something. Very uncomfortable. I wanted to try on different sized dresses because the under $150 sizes were limited, they took the dress I pulled out and out back on the rack and told me it wouldn't fit her, basically not allowing her to try it on. The store also smelled like mold. Very overpriced items. However their selection of dresses and unique items were nice. I see many nice reviews so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt, maybe it was me or maybe an off day for them. Either way I will look back on a very expensive shopping trip that was supposed to be fun with my daughter as an uncomfortable one. Definitely feel like I was robbed of an experience and looking back I should've left.
