I was glad because it was hot there. They had scheduled glass-blowing demonstrations. After the demonstration, you can buy the piece that was made. The studio had a glass store next to it. This was a place to check out. It had so many glass works inside. It was a beautiful store. The staff was very helpful. I enjoyed my time here. You can find smaller artworks here. There were a few parking spaces in front of the store, not too many. A parking garage is nearby, a few blocks away. I saw plenty of street parking around the streets but most taken.

My second project was for myself and I had so much fun making it with 6 other women doing their own projects. We had a Girl's night out and had munchies and wine and each lady made a very cool project. I know they all had fun and loved their end result. Several were talking of coming back again to do another one. Renee, the owner and Maddie are very encouraging and helpful. I very highly recommend doing this either as a gift, or for yourself. There are so many different projects to choose from and I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was.

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.

Although we came for the Morean Center for Clay (http://www.yelp.com/biz/morean-center-for-clay-st-petersburg), what we really enjoyed was our visit to the St Petersburg Clay Co. We walked in the front door, looking a little lost I'm sure. Someone noticed and told us that the entire space (36,000+ square feet) was open to browse, and so we did. The first thing we saw was a gallery class display area for some very nice pottery pieces.* I think this area is actually for exhibitions, as once we turned the corner, our perspective changed. Had we not been told we could wander, I would have thought we were invading someone's personal space. We were in a workshop. Clay, tools and unfinished projects were everywhere. It was very interesting. As we gazed, a woman approached and ask if we needed help. We said no, that we were just looking. She then introduced herself as Wendy Duran and told us that she is one of the resident artists here. She gave us a quick rundown of the pace, and that yes, wander to your heart's content. She explained the various rooms, and that you can walk the building, inside, from one end to the other (through the Morean Center for Clay and into HIghwater Clays). The cool thing about the St Petersburg Clay Co. is that just about everything you see is for sale. There are so many artists, and so many displays and cubby holes filled with a huge variety of styles ans sizes, that it's pure fun to wander and look. Even if you are not looking at pieces of art, you are looking at the various rooms where the pieces are made. Fascinating. One room was the glaze room, and the walls were lined with the various substances used to produce all the different finishes. The next room had small kilns (the big kilns are outside, including the legendary Anagama kiln built by master potter Don Reitz) and racks of pieces ready to be fired. Another section housed the resident artists. Everyone we met was friendly and welcoming. Were our suitcases not already at capacity, I'm quite sure we would have found at least a piece or two to take home. Next time for sure. Bottom line: If you like clay, don't miss the St Petersburg Clay Co. You could even make it a lunch destination, as there is also an on-site cafe (http://www.yelp.com/biz/ca-cafe-st-petersburg). * We later learned that this was a solo exhibition by Beth Morean. Wow!
