The…read morebuilding is fairly small and the parking is limited but we've certainly come back because of the positive experience. The times we've gone, it's been pretty chill and quiet with only a few other groups painting. There's light background music playing. The owner is friendly, helpful, and accommodating when making reservations or picking colors for your masterpiece. There are about 8 tables inside and one outside that you could paint at. The place setting is put out for you (palette tile, sponge, water) and you get to choose the brushes and paint colors that you'd like to use. There are shelves with various types of items you can paint (bowls, cups, pencil holders, figurines, vases, and the list goes on). There are also examples provided on the shelves to provide you with inspiration. Typically, you pick up the item within a week.

Took Intro to Watercolors here about a month ago, a 5-week course that started at 7pm and ended at…read more9pm. Online registration was easy with credit card, and they send you a confirmation email. I liked that I did not have to purchase any supplies for this class. Now keep in mind you only come with what you brought; no brushes, paper, or paints were given away at the end. We had a small group and started off practicing watercolor techniques the first day and then jumped into small simple projects; still life, landscape, and abstract watercolors. As a beginner, I was in class with people who were professional artists who took the class as a hobby. I would have preferred to be in a class with newbies like me, so I could spend more time learning technique. But all and all I worked at my own pace and did not allow myself to be distracted by the years of experience of others. Our instructor Tye was kind, encouraging, and fun to work with. I would take another course here, they have plenty to choose from ceramics, printmaking, even a soap making course, and much more. Looking to be creative and meet some interesting people on a random weeknight, this might be your jam.

I saw a Facebook post where someone recommended Moonlight Studios a spot right in Prince George's…read moreCounty! I booked a Sip, snack, and create class with Elle. In the class, you create your very own masterpiece in a fun and interactive setting. The night starts with an in-depth demonstration on the potter's wheel, then you (and a partner, family, friends) get hands-on shaping and forming your own work of art. The best part? It's super affordable, and they provide wine, nonalcoholic beverages, and snacks! If you're looking for a creative date night or just a fun way to unwind, this is it. Full . It's a very erotic and relaxing class. I definitely want to go back !

As a kid I loved clay and…read moreplay dough and yes it's not the same of course but I thought the impulse was in the right place. Anyway, I've never sat at a pottery wheel before but thanks to the incredible instruction facilitated by the small class size and the relaxed atmosphere I had a blast. And, bonus, my creations turned out pretty great, too! We'll see how they turn out after the firing and glazes. I had so much fun and was so encouraged by the experience I'm considering a membership to explore the hobby further. At the least I'll be taking more classes. Highly recommend the classes and studio to anyone and everyone. I'm the beginningest beginner possible and I couldn't have had a better time.

It's been about a year since I started taking pottery classes at Something Earthy and it literally…read morehas been a true joy. Though I still feel pretty insanely novice on the wheel, I've pumped out some pieces that I'm pretty proud of... and many pieces that... could use some work lol. Linda is the owner and head teacher at the studio and she is quite literally the best. She is SUPER friendly, always willing to help, and honestly has become someone who I consider a friend. Something Earthy is not just a studio that offers weekly classes though, there is a pottery shop that is filled with her work, students work, and other local artisan's crafts. As if that isn't a enough, Linda also makes homemade jams and jellys and freeze dried candy that she sells in the store portion. There are also small classes for younger children where they can choose a pre-molded ceramic and paint it. Linda even grows produce and sells it during the season. But yeah, it has become one of my favorite little retreats. This is the epitomy of a hidden gem and I could go on blushing about how amazing this place is for pages, but rather than TLDR-ing you, I'll just say that if you're in the area - or even if you're not - you should stop by shop and inquire about classes.

Unfortunately, my experience during the past two months was not a success. As a virtual beginner,…read moreI did not have six classes in the studio. I had six visits to the studio where I was mostly on my own. After some guidance during the first couple of classes, I was usually left to figure out what to do by myself. I didn't see the owner/instructor many times until an hour or hour and a half of my "class" began. Often when I did see you, it was just a casual hello sort of thing. Far from instruction. Overall, I was provided one or two demos of the various steps. I never mastered centering or trimming. I threw away about 1/4 of my clay because pieces flew off the wheel or the base collapsed. During my third or fourth time in the studio, I specifically remember the owner said to me, "You forgot what we talked about before..." It usually takes beginners three or four times to "get it" and incorporate learning into short term memory... The one time (first and only) the owner showed me glazing, she chided me for leaving the piece in too long. Strangely, that is one of the only pieces I actually have kept. Subsequent glazing was a disaster with tong marks and color unevenness. I threw away four finished pieces. I got some glazing assistance from an experienced "student" on my final two pieces. She was kind enough to help me use the bottles of glaze, find and use the brushes and try a different approach without dipping. Sadly, the base of the plate that I glazed by hand doesn't sit evenly on a surface, so I am not sure it will be the 10th anniversary gift that I intended. When I originally found Something Earthy's website, "class time" and "studio time" were advertised and new students were only taken on a particular schedule. I expected six classes of instruction. When I was a graduate school professor, I was in the classroom with my students for the full scheduled time of classes. I was their guide, their instructor and my assignment was to teach them and expand their knowledge of the subject matter. Advertising "class time" is misleading! I did not ask the owner for refund or concessions of any kind. I shared with her that I wanted to express my deep disappointment in what I experienced, as I was SO hopeful that pottery would become a life-long love for me as it was for her. I also encouraged the owner to either reconsider her approach with beginners or just advertise the studio to experienced artisans.
