This class was so lovely. The teacher was hands-on if you needed her to be, and hands-off if you didn’t need help. She set up such a beautiful and calming space for everyone to work. Everyone in the class was friendly and talkative. I would 100% go back! I can’t wait to see my plates.

Really great instructor that gave hands on tips while also letting you take the time to figure it out for yourself. It was the perfect bite sized easy to get a dose of creativity in for the weekend. Can’t wait to see the final products!

This class was FANTASTIC! Such an amazing value for what we paid. The class ended up being a private class for me and two of my friends for a birthday party. Natalie was a warm and engaging teacher that walked us through each step and helped whenever we needed assistance. With extra time at the end of the session, Natalie even let us use our extra clay to make extra little trinkets! I would recommend this class to anyone - thank you for this awesome opportunity!

I enjoyed this class very much. The teacher provided a great introduction and a bit of history of clay usage. She explained the many types of hand building techniques and was very helpful. She kept everyone engaged with friendly conversation and made the class fun.

Excellent experience! It was a small class (3 people) which was great. You should be comfortable talking about your journaling as the class is interactive. Absolutely loved the sound bath. Yoga was great too really warmed the body. Highly recommend!

My daughter and her friends really enjoyed taking this class with Seda. She was a patient and thorough teacher, and provided plenty of materials and tools, including colored clay, which we hadn’t heard of before. The classroom was zen-like and cozy.

Seda ran our class and she was fantastic, really took the time to help everyone and was really friendly! You can also make a bunch of little things which is nice and there’s different colored clay (:

We ended up making a bookend, espresso cup and saucer, and jewelry plate

Teacher was knowledgable about Tarot, and clearly very experienced in Yoga and Sound Bathing.

The yoga was not in my opinion"mild" and featured several intermediate-advanced steps. That is the main reason I didn't give it 5 stars. The Sound Bath was worth 5 Stars however; that was lovely and refreshing.

The venue was nice and simple. Very easy to get to off the G train. I would recommend to someone who does yoga regularly.

Great relaxing class, everything was provided so you just have to show up. The teacher was really patient with all the students and gave us tips to help make our vision even better.

Brian Mulvihill Dec 2022


Our teacher today was great. She had an helpful introduction then offered hands-on guidance for our individual pieces.

Christine Manthey Nov 2022


This was a fantastic beginner class! The teach provided a variety of materials, more than enough for everyone to create individual weavings. She was very patient, and taught a few techniques that could easily be grasped after a few tries. It was also helpful to see her examples and work process for inspiration and a greater understanding. Would definitely take this again!

We had a great time! The class was so creatively fulfilling, and the instructor was so helpful.

Had a great time at the hand building ceramics class. Bat Haus was prompt in accommodating my request for a group workshop. Because this was a one day workshop, we weren't aiming for perfection but just learn some basics and have fun and the instructor was perfect for that. Thorough, patient and fun, she helped salvage struggling pieces, offering great advice on design and technique while encouraging us to experiment. The location was great, and we got a beautiful studio space downstairs to ourselves.

Elena Mileva Oct 2022


I took my daughter to a hand crafting ceramics class with Seda! The class was awesome! Seda was very professional, detailed in her explanations, and very engaging. She had a smile on her face during the entire class and spent a good amount of time with every student. She demonstrated different techniques, offered suggestions and encouraged her students to explore and experiment with the materials and shapes. We will definitely come again!❤

The instructor was very knowledgeable, adapted to my yoga level and the sound bath was a perfect way to end the session! Recommend!
