• 5/5 from Matias Ahrensdorf, attended Dec 2024: Teacher was fantastic and engaging, would take this class again. Great job by everyone involved.
• 1/5 from Alex Tudela, attended Dec 2024: I couldn't get the help I needed from instructor (1 teacher for a class of 20ish). I am not happy with what I produced. Won’t do again.
• 5/5 from Anonymized ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: This class was so much fun. Our instructor was fantasic, informative, patient and very hands on with each of us. I went with two other friends and i am sure we'll come back again
• 5/5 from Michael Sanchez, attended Oct 2024: The instructor today was very friendly and superb. She taught us well and guided us when we needed the help. I would recommend my friends to take this course.
• 5/5 from Jinay Shah, attended Oct 2024: Amazing experience. The trainer was patient and we got a private experience almost.
• 5/5 from Valarie Walker, attended Oct 2024: The class was small so she was able to give us individual attention. She was kind, patient and supportive which was exactly what was needed. She was clear in her demo and supported that with hands on directions. I really feel like I was beginning to understand how to pull--which for me was the hardest to get. Do you offer longer multiple class sessions as a package?
• 5/5 from Lane Wood, attended Oct 2024: It was a lovely evening learning a new skill from Haewon. It was lots of fun, a little stressful (perfectionist), a very rewarding. I can’t wait to pick up my finished piece.
• 4/5 from Leslie Funk, attended Oct 2024: Fun small class; enjoyed the chance to try something new with low commitment and in a friendly environment.
• 5/5 from Kaitlyn Tejada, attended Aug 2024: I had a great time. I went alone and booked it as my “artist’s date” based on the book the artists way by julia cameron. You really do get messy in this class so wear something you dont need to be pristine down to the shoes. The teacher (Heiwon? i think), was great and friendly. she gave great tips on technique when she came around. the class was the kind of thing where you watch and say yeah i can do that and then when you actually do it, you realize the challenging aspects of it. i thought it was very fun. It was my first time throwing clay and i am so happy i did this.
• 3/5 from Michele Laugel, attended Aug 2024: The class started 15min late and we needed to wrap things up 20min before the end to clean up so it was actually a 1h30min class. Besides that, the instructor gave us the basics but it was bit too fast for beginners to really capture the method. Otherwise, it was a nice activity to do, very therapeutical to work with your hands. Looking forward to picking up my bowl in a week!
• 5/5 from Chaya Fishman, attended Jul 2024: Haewon was our teacher and shes excellent! Very patient, helpful and clear! I've always wanted to try out pottery and this class was exactly what I was looking for!! One small note though, I was rushed to finished my last piece because we needed to start cleaning up. I dont think it's fair as I was finally getting the hang of it and I think the class is enough expensive that we shouldn't need to clean up after. Thank you!
• 5/5 from Gary Dakin, attended Jul 2024: It was date night for my partner and I and not only was the teacher a joy and fun to work with but the experience gave me an even greater respect for the craft. It was also an exercise in finding your own way and I could truly have worked on it for hours. I will definitely go back and bring a group of people with me!
• 5/5 from Cynthia Wong, attended Jul 2024: Wonderful class! Amazing for intros and it was very low stakes. No pressure on creating the perfect piece. I would totally come back with more friends!
• 5/5 from Daniel Guzman Gundermann, attended Jul 2024: went for our anniversary and it was great! very good teacher funny helpful and talented
• 5/5 from Yile Zhang, attended Jul 2024: Instructor is perfect! Very detailed and also helped me when I wasn’t sure what to do.
• 5/5 from Lin Chen, attended Jun 2024: I booked a neriage wheel throwing class for my husband and I as a fun date night. I had always wanted to try a ceramics class, so I was super excited. To my surprise, my husband ended up enjoying it more than me! I swear he was a ceramicist in a past life. He understood all the steps immediately and made his first piece within just a few minutes. Anyway, our instructor was friendly and an awesome teacher. Patient, concise, and engaging. We really enjoyed the class, and I’d definitely enroll in another one in the near future!
• 5/5 from Christopher Lee, attended Jun 2024: The teacher was extremely helpful and informative in teaching us how to throw clay on a wheel. Would definitely recommend this class. The 2 hrs go by fast!
• 5/5 from Jean Goto, attended Jun 2024: It was a great class. The teacher was excellent. Her demonstration was very clear and concise. Her guidance while we were trying was amazing! So nice and patient and knew exactly when to step in so we could actually make something in just one class. Thank you!
• 4/5 from Danya Porter, attended Jun 2024: My only complain is that they only have one single ac unit so the room temp was not very comfortable. The class itself is very enjoyable and just the right amount of time. The instructions at the beginning are long and hard to remember as it is about 30mins of instructions. As a neurodivergent it is hard to keep and follow all those steps.
• 5/5 from Lee Fabiaschi, attended Mar 2024: I got my family a private class as a Christmas present and we had the best time. We were all beginningers and our instructor was patient, fun and super engaging. We brough a bottle of wine and some light bites and it was a wonderful experience! 10/10 would recommend
• 5/5 from Danielle Jackson, attended Mar 2024: Amazing experience! We went for a date night and had the best time. Our teacher was friendly, patient and encouraging. It felt like a time of exploration and zero stress even though we were learning something new. A great value for the money. My favorite part was being able to make mistake pieces judgement free lol.
• 5/5 from Christopher Hutton, attended Mar 2024: This was a xmas gift for my partner and we both enjoyed it. Teacher was great spending enough time with everyone to make sure we did not struggle. Venue had enough wheels, space and materials and we did learn the basics as set out. Yes I would recommend this class to any beginners.
• 5/5 from Nat Myers, attended Mar 2024: Our class was honestly amazing. Our teacher was fantastic! She was so sweet and funny and helpful and honestly a vibe. We arrived a little late due to traffic and she was wonderful about it. This was taken by a work team of 7 -- and we had a blast. Would absolutely recommend for a team activity or date night or anything. Its also BYOB!
• 5/5 from Alice Kim, attended Feb 2024: Adam was a wonderful instructor. He was clear and very helpful. His class was a breeze, although getting the hang of the wheel was not. A very kind and helpful gentleman. He seems very knowledgable and very experienced in what he does. Would love to take another class of his.
• 3/5 from Shannon Cutinello, attended Feb 2024: Really great concept and would have had a better time, but the space is too small for the amount of people they book per class. We had a fully booked day and I don’t think the class functions well at that size. There are not enough coat hangers for everyone so I had to put my coat on the floor in the corner (other people got clay on it). You definitely need to advocate for yourself if you need help. They would benefit from having another teacher on fully booked days. And cleaning up was a huge hassle. They only have one small sink and a two bucket clean up system. They should stagger clean-ups by table or have less people per class.
• 5/5 from Angie Arbelaez, attended Jan 2024: Overall good experience and would recommend. It was a bit chilly so wear layers
• 5/5 from Jasmin Paredes, attended Jan 2024: Class was great, easy explained, not easy to do something with the claylol Everyone was profesional and friendly. Staff helped all the time to have us archived get at least one piece. Will love to do again!
• 5/5 from Shernala Brusco, attended Jan 2024: Great class loved the demo and the extra help if needed would definitely come back again
• 5/5 from Mallory Emmert, attended Jan 2024: Adam was amazing. Super great at instructing and cueing each pottery. Thanks! Mallory
• 5/5 from Michelle Park, attended Jan 2024: Adam was so friendly, attentive, and encouraging. He made sure to engage with everyone individually and was so helpful and sweet!
• 5/5 from Wenting Zhao, attended Jan 2024: The experience is interesting and the staff are friendly and helpful! Both my friend and I love it.
• 5/5 from Aneesha Kommineni, attended Jan 2024: Really fun! Surprised how quickly we could pick up the basics. Anik was super helpful in demonstrating and figuring out how to correct when I messed up. Adam was a great instructor too and gave really easy to apply tips & had a very positive presence. Overall encouraging and fun environment.
• 5/5 from Yimei Xu, attended Jan 2024: Fantastic pottery class! Engaging instructor, well-equipped studio. Learned the basics and created beautiful pieces. Highly recommended for all skill levels
• 5/5 from Raul ‘rue’ Flores, attended Jan 2024: Great instruction, collaborative environment. Great first class and 10/10 would recommend for anyone in the future.
• 5/5 from Patrycja, attended Jan 2024: Awesome class, staff was really nice and also helpful. They walk around and give you tips :) cool introduction - you can make as many pieces as you want and then pick your favorite
• 5/5 from Helen Zhang, attended Jan 2024: This was my first experience with a pottery wheel and it was a lot of fun! The class was pricey but I think it makes sense considering the cost of materials and time. The instructor was friendly and attentive. Going into this, I thought we would be able to pick our colors but the balls of recycled clay were pre-formed so they were mostly grey. We were allowed to practice as many times as we liked within the allotted time but could only pick one piece to fire in the kiln. I'm excited to pick it up in a week. The only downside was that it's a small studio so it can feel cramped with a line for the sink. I would recommend this class for friends and dates. It's very messy so wear old clothes that you don't mind getting dirty (although it should wash out).
• 4/5 from Andrew Lee, attended Jan 2024: Enjoyed that the clay had color and the teacher was good but was very disappointed in the end that while I cleaned up, I hadn’t tagged my piece and it was basically ruined. The teacher tried briefly to fix it but it was ruined. I will not have a piece of my own to take away from this class.
• 3/5 from Bili Scott, attended Jan 2024: What was the teacher like? Very helpful and nice but very knowledgeable How was the venue (if applicable)? Too tight too many people If materials were provided, did you like them? Yes Was the experience good value for money? Yeah What did you do / learn? How to make the clay smooth What did you like most? Using my hands to make the bowl
• 3/5 from Shameem Kathiwalla, attended Jan 2024: Neriage is a great concept and should be taught in a much smaller class. There were 16-20 students and only two instructors which made things really tight. I would love to take longer classes there if they ever offered them.
• 5/5 from Rohan Dani, attended Dec 2023: They went through and taught us entirely how to create the pot and it was a lot of fun
• 5/5 from Hali Rodriguez, attended Dec 2023: Great fun. Not too messy. Warm and friendly instructor, who was supportive and encouraging of everyone.
• 5/5 from Michelle Chin, attended Dec 2023: Our teacher Adam was super nice and patient! He came around and helped people as needed and made an effort to remember our names. Great instructor and hypeman; never made us feel rushed :)
• 5/5 from Kevin Cheng, attended Dec 2023: Teacher was great and the class was fun. Would be happy to take the workshop again.
• 5/5 from Jailene Peralta, attended Dec 2023: This was so much fun! My partner and I enjoyed it so much we look forward to coming back again! The instructor was really nice and informative and also very nice and patient definitely love that as a newbie! Totally recommend you won’t regret it!
• 5/5 from Marilyn Ramirez Groupon, attended Dec 2023: The instructor and his assistant were dynamic! They were patient, knowledgeable, kind, and enthusiastic.
• 5/5 from John Wheaton, attended Dec 2023: I really enjoyed the direction/instruction given to assist in understanding the stages of throwing clay. Even though, the class had a lot attendees, Adam and his assistant(i apologize for not remembering his name) did this best at accommodating those who attended. We were provide with enough material to explore until the end of class. Looking forward to attend another class in the future.
• 4/5 from Chrissie Mar, attended Dec 2023: This was a fun beginner class! It was exciting to learn about basic pottery using the really pretty marbled neriage clay and fun to mess around trying to form bowls and cups! This experience would definitely be better if there was another instructor or a smaller class. While the instructions were clear and easy to follow having fewer students or more instructors would have allowed for the people who need help to get more attention and guidance. It got especially difficult at the end of clean up with so many people trying to use one sink.
• 3/5 from Endar Li, attended Dec 2023: It was a very rocky start. The class was overbooked due to miscommunication and that was handled very awkwardly.
• 3/5 from Alice Xie, attended Dec 2023: I think this class is good if you want to experience wheel throwing but I wouldn't expect to be able to make anything to take home since two hours is hardly enough time to learn the basics and actually begin to practice centering, opening, and pulling. The session started off a little late with the single instructor trying to handle 20 people looking to check in, get materials, and figure out if they were in the right place or not. Logistically it was a little messy but when it came to wheel throwing, I was disappointed in how fast the tutorial was explained to the group and how many of the students were not set up for success (ex: not given enough water to work with the dry clay). I wish the class could also spend the time to go over the significance of Neriage since it's clearly different from your traditional clay. Overall the class was fine to go if you want to try throwing something with no guarantee you'll bring anything back home. For anyone with experience or looking to actually learn about Neriage I'd recommend finding a different class.
