Recent reviews of Pottery Wheel Throwing Workshop

  • 5/5 from Allison Stock, attended Jul 2026: very educational, and a ton of fun! milena was fun and very helpful, the studio was gorgeous, and I had a great time.
  • 5/5 from Adam Agata, attended Jul 2026: I had walked by this studio for a couple of years thinking "I should try this, " and I'm glad I finally tried the beginner class. Really fun! This was my first time using a wheel, and thanks to the great teaching (and given my skill level, much needed patience) of Milena, I produced several plates and mugs after just two hours. Not only did I begin learning a skill I hope to develop further, it was just a great hang. Highly recommend, whether you're a novice like me or looking for a fun group activity.
  • 5/5 from Richela Morgan, attended Apr 2026: Milena was our instructor. She was patient and friendly, and made everything look so easy. Thank you, Milena.
  • 5/5 from Eleanor Donnelly, attended Feb 2026: Great tuition Nice space Lot of cleaning up which I guess is part of the process
  • 5/5 from Sean Ramos, attended Jan 2026: Excellent teacher and a great experience!
  • 5/5 from Lizanne Hart, attended Jan 2026: We had a great time, and learned so much in just 2 hours!
  • 5/5 from Brooke, attended Jul 2025: I had such a wonderful experience at Blue Room Pottery Studio! I have always wanted to take a wheel throwing pottery class as I have only ever done hand-building, and it did not disappoint!! What a cool and fun experience! Right away Milena welcomed us in with such enthusiasm and excitement to have us in her new beautiful studio! She designed the studio herself and you can see that all of her passion, creativity and love went into the entire space. It is bright and colorful, great music playing and the vibes are all there! Milena started the workshop with a quick lesson which was so great to learn and understand the materials we would be working with. Then she gave a great demonstration (she is so talented in her craft!) and after that we got to work, aprons on and hands full of clay. We were lucky enough to learn/create two different wheel throwing techniques and make two pottery pieces! A true cylinder and a flat plate like dish/spoon rest. Milena helped us the entire time while still allowing us the freedom to learn, mess up and start over if needed! Milena was very supportive and a great teacher, assisting us to create fantastic original pieces on our own (with a little help of course) and using all the techniques and tools a true artist would. I am so excited to go pick up my finished pieces in 6-8 weeks and see how they came out and display them at home! This was a great workshop, I can’t wait to take another class and highly recommend this fabulous Brooklyn based studio! Thanks Milena!
  • 5/5 from Joe Hamway, attended Jul 2025: Such a fun class! Milena’s studio is beautiful and welcoming -- she made me feel right at home. She’s incredibly talented on the wheel and makes it all look so effortless. It had been years since I’d tried wheel throwing, but she was super patient and encouraging, which helped me feel confident again. The two hours flew by! I’m really excited to see how my pieces turn out after glazing and firing. Highly recommend this class and can’t wait to come back!
