I felt very welcome and was able to ask questions and move at a pace that was comfortable for me. She kept us safe working with torches and other pieces of equipment that I had never operated before.

I cannot speak highly enough about the Good Dea Craft School! I was hosting my sister's…read morebachelorette party and we wanted to tie-dye our custom party shirts. We did an ice tie-dying method that was so different than anything you can do at home. Pam worked with us to figure out the best way to do it with our limited time and truly went above and beyond to accommodate our party. Even the day before and day of she was pivoting to make sure we had beautiful shirts. This was one of many stops over our bachelorette weekend but it was definitely a highlight and provided a lasting memory.

This was my first paint & sip, and it was a great experience. The studio is very cute, with…read morecompleted paintings decking all the walls. We sat two to each table. The owner (I am assuming her name is Kym) was very helpful, as were her daughter and son who were helping her out. They gave advice during the session, and brought fresh water to rinse paintbrushes. They came with more paint when we requested it. They also helped us blowdry the canvasses. It was the instructor's first time and he did great. I am not an artist and don't consider myself creative, so I was a bit nervous, but it turned out just fine. You can book and pay online, after choosing the day by whatever painting you want to create. All you need to bring is your own wine; they have available corkscrews and stemless glasses. I look forward to returning to create more art!

Given the time for teaching (roughly 30 minutes) and another 20 for cleaning up your station and washing everything you end up with roughly 40 minutes of spinning, much less than I initially expected.

Bareclay offers several types of classes at the moment. Currently class options are one day each…read moreweek, for three weeks (evening & daytime). There are date night classes for two and a one time sampler class. Plus, if you've already been to a class there's the option to book an open studio. Which is a spot to come and create. You can also rent out the studio for small groups. I booked my wife a one off Sunday class. Unfortunately, something came up and she was unable to attend so I went in her space. I am glad that I went it was a delightful way to spend a Sunday! The try-it class fee includes one fired & glazed finished piece. (There is the option to purchase other creations as well.) The instructor for the one off Sunday class was great. They explained and showed the process we would take before giving us space to create at our own stations. The showing was great for me as I am the type of person who learns by doing so being able to see the wheel in action, see the movements that change the shape of the clay, and the tools that were going to be used set me up for success when it comes to (attempting) to create on the wheel. Each station had a wheel, many sections of pre-cut ready to be thrown clay, water, tools that could be used, and a posted reminder of the process of creation. (I appreciated this as it gave me something to refer to as I was attempting to create a masterpiece!) During the class time the instructor was walking about offering help, and sharing tips to aid in the creation of our pieces. After creation, you help clean up your station, and choose the glaze color for your creation. Glaze options were blue, green, and red. At the time of this class the turn around time from creation to glazed, fired, and ready to be picked up was four weeks from the class date. ------ Previous to this class I hadn't used a wheel in well over 25 years. (And that was only once or twice in art classes in elementary and middle! So nothing that would give me considerable skills.) I am planning on booking one of the couple classes so that the wife and I can create together. All in all, I highly recommend checking out the offerings at Bareclay and booking a class if you are able! Nice space to try out something new or to get back into something you enjoyed in a comfortable and friendly environment.

We were able to make a reservation ahead of time and they had our table all set up when we arrived. The owner and one of the employees were so welcoming, and they gave us a quick overview of where to find everything. They have tons of pottery pieces to pick from and the prices of each piece are labeled on the shelf. You pick what you want to paint and away you go! They had tons of supplies - brushes, paints, stencils, stamps, etc. We had coffees from across the street and were able to bring those in. Music was great and just added to the overall experience. When you are done, you turn your pieces in for firing and they give you a pickup date for the finished product about 14 days out (currently). I am excited to see how our artwork turned out.
