HORRIBLE! They've gotten me addicted to a new hobby ;) Staff is very knowledgeable and even more friendly. I took a pottery painting class and have every intention of booking an actual pottery class in the near future. There was another class going on at the same time as mine and it looked so fun. The workers are so sweet and accommodating. My piece turned out amazing after they provided this beginner with much needed advice! read more

New hobby unlocked (!!!) I had some of the most fun, relaxing, and engaging time trying pottery with the wheel for the first time a few weeks ago as I celebrated my rotation around the sun. It was a marvelous experience from start to finish, and that's all thanks to the awesome instructor, Corrie, who was super patient and oh so helpful in lending a hand (literally) to give our projects the pep they needed if they were looking a bit sad. The projects started off in the third stage (after being wedged and centered) which was a very nice of them since I heard that the first steps are annoying and time-consuming. They do offer a 4-week pottery class that meets weekly where you get to learn all the stages from start to finish, which I will absolutely sign up for once I'm in the area more consistently. We were able to mold whatever container our hearts (or clay, really) desired. I came in wanting to make a chawan (matcha bowl) and I think the shape turned out much better than anticipated, but I'm afraid it'll shrink in the kiln, oof. Their glazing and firing process will take about 3 weeks after we make our piece, so I've yet to see the final product but will cross my fingers it'll be functional for my daily matcha routine. You get to choose which glaze from a variety of options, and they'll do that step for you. But in the intensive class, you get to paint and do more detailed work, and I got to see some of the finished pieces that were on display after finishing up my piece. It's super inspiring to see the variety of pieces you can make, and I'm already dreaming of other projects to embark on~ What's even better is this studio also offers more than pottery, including painting, dyeing fabrics, sewing, and crochet courses too, all of which I lovelovelove. read more

What a beautiful day yesterday was. I've been dying to do a pottery class the last two years, but never had the courage to go alone. Luckily I've met some wonderful ladies through Yelp who share similar interests, so thanks to Tashana L we came upon this gem. Upon arrival you'll be asked to sign their waiver, fill out a form for the pottery piece you'll be making, write your name on a name tag & grab an apron. After that it's all fun & clay lol. Courtney was our instructor yesterday & she was fabulous. She had such a bubbly personality and was extremely supportive of everyone. Our session ran from 4-5pm and had a total of 5 people, which was perfect because we all were able to get 1:1 instruction without falling behind or feeling like a disruption. In the beginning I feel like I set unrealistic expectations by striving to make the perfect bowl but as the class progressed I realized the beauty of pottery is that much like people, no two pieces will ever be the same. So if you're reading this as you're planning to take your first class then please take a deep breath, let the self-criticism go & just flow with the form that takes shape. Unfortunately for me I got lost because the navigation told me I had arrived when I was nowhere near the right place, causing me to walk in a bit past the 4pm reservation slot. It worked out for the best, but do make sure you add an additional 15-20 minutes to your drive time so that you don't have any issues. read more

I had a fun experience at Trade Oak Cliff. I took the one hour wheel class where we made a bowl. At first I thought pottery would be easy, it's definitely not! It took a lot of concentration and instruction but my bowl came out beautiful! The instructor was a joy to be around. Can't wait to take another class. read more

Fun way to spend a Saturday. Laid back environment, detailed/helpful instructor, I can't wait to pick up the finished product :) Couple suggestions: go a little early because there are a few things to do before class starts, the session may run longer depending on how much help is needed and most importantly - RELAX. We put pressure on ourselves to be perfect, but your creation doesn't have to look like the others. But the instructors will make sure it's still cute :) read more

I took the one hour pottery wheel class at Trade Oak Cliff and it was so cute! The parking was kinda small but we got there early so it was not an issue for us; bonus points for free parking! When we arrived there, our instructor was setting up but check in was super quick. We took our seats and the instructor explained what to do! He taught us how much water to put, our hand placement, and the entire pottery process. In this class, we were not able to go through the kilning and glazing process since it was only an hour but they offer four week courses to go over the entire pottery process. I loved the class and they also offer other art classes that I will try next time! read more

Took the Pottery wheel class at 12:30 PM on Saturday May 9, 2026, with my daughter. Miriam was our instructor and we had a very enjoyable time. She is very skilled and knowledgeable, explaining each step, demonstrating and then helping us fix our missteps. The class is advertised as an hour and we all started with clay already prepped and on the wheel, and at the end of class participants also help clean up and set up the area for the next class. I look forward to taking the class again. it is well worth the class price. read more

Went here for a team building event - so much fun!! The owner, Corrie, was super organized and accommodating and the environment of the art studio was fun and artsy! Highly recommend! read more

I bought and did two classes of theirs this summer. I did a wheel throwing first and then hand building on the next visit. The wheel throwing instructor was amazing and very hands on and helpful. The hand building class was good but it could have been great. The instructor was one of the owners and it showed in that she clearly has little passion for teaching. She gave so many instructions at the same time, barely walked around to help and played with her kid most of the time. I'm sure she's great, but when people are paying customers, let your spouse handle the kids. read more
