Recent reviews of Chips and Beer Pottery Workshop

  • 3/5 from Antonia Lianos, attended Oct 2025: My daughter and I took the class because we thought it would be a fun activity to do together. It was fun; however, there was some confusion about the details of the class and the process of creating a chip bowl or any other item. We did receive a beer, but not chips, which was fine because eating them while handling clay seems unpleasant. The instructor was very nice and knowledgable. and gave a 15-20 minute "introduction" to the class and then asked what we wanted to make. I responded, "Well, the class description said we would make a chip bowl so I'll do that." The instructor seemed a bit unprepared for that response and had to gather the items needed to do this; however, creating a bowl in less than an hour was rushed and left no room for us to enjoy the process. He did offer to stay a bit longer if we wanted to tip him, which wasn't an option after spending $300 on the class. When we got to the end, he took over and finished glazing our items, because time was up and he wanted to get home. ClassBento.com may want to reevaluate this class's structure and timeframe. Then the instructor told us to pick up our items in a couple weeks. I doubt that our items will even be there when I do go back to pick them up. So we had fun, because we were together, but I would not recommend this class or ClassBento to anyone.

Ceramicist Zeynep Saraçoğlu opened her first studio in
the Golden Horn of Istanbul, Turkey in 2012. In 2021, she
opened a new studio, Kulak Ceramic, in Los Angeles.
Coming from a family steeped in art and design, the artist
honed her skills through her studies at Mimar Sinan Fine
Arts University in Istanbul.
Zeynep specializes in functional art, producing unique
pieces that bring color, texture, and whimsy to tableware
and home décor. She finds inspiration in the life, architecture,
and color of her surroundings, most recently in her new
hometown of Santa Monica, California.
Mixing all her own color formulations to create an unusually saturated palette that reflects an
intensity not normally found in everyday porcelain, Zeynep uses a high-fire clay that enables her to
infuse color directly into the porcelain, allowing for a vibrant matte finish that is a signature of her
work. She uses materials that are environmentally friendly, certified non-toxic, and healthy for the home.
Zeynep’s work has been highlighted in many home and design and architecture magazines, including
Maison Francaise, Marie Claire, and Skylife, and chefs and restaurants frequently seek her out for
custom collaborations, with her tableware featured in restaurants by the Gjelina Group, Eataly, and
Superfrico Las Vegas.
