Recent reviews of Hand Building Pottery Bar Class

  • 5/5 from Jill Lundin, attended Jul 2025: Pure Clay Therapy Magic at Adewole Arts! I just had the most incredible pottery experience at Adewole Arts, and I'm still buzzing with creative energy! Located inside CRAFTED at the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro, this hidden gem sits in an amazing waterfront location surrounded by handmade and vintage vendors that make the whole experience feel special before you even walk in. April Adewole is not just an artist – she's a creative wizard who has built what I can only describe as a "Creative Kitchen" filled with love, beautiful colors, and perfect lighting. Her studio feels like stepping into a peaceful, special world where stress melts away and creativity flows freely. Honestly, calling it "clay therapy" isn't an exaggeration – it's exactly what this experience provides! Our hand-sculpting clay class was incredibly hands-on, and April's teaching style is both patient and inspiring. She's clearly mastered multiple techniques (pottery wheel, including an adorable tiny wheel, fused glass, and hand sculpting), and her passion for sharing these skills is infectious. What I loved most was how attentive she was to each student's vision – she genuinely wants to help you create the coolest piece you have in mind, not just follow a template. The studio showcases April's amazing handmade pieces, which are absolutely stunning and give you inspiration for your own creations. The small class sizes mean you get real personal attention and can actually learn meaningful techniques. Plus, knowing that my finished piece will be professionally fired and ready for pickup in a couple weeks makes this feel like a complete artistic journey. I also love that April offers mobile pottery classes – what a unique way to bring this therapeutic creative experience to your own space with friends! The fact that the studio is only open to the public on weekends makes it feel even more special and exclusive. If you're looking for a peaceful escape, want to try something new, or just need some creative therapy, I cannot recommend Adewole Arts highly enough. This is San Pedro's best-kept secret for art lovers!

Adewole Arts is a welcoming ceramics studio located in the coastal community of San Pedro, Los Angeles. Nestled inside "Crafted at the Port of Los Angeles, " a beautifully restored 1940s warehouse turned artisan marketplace, the studio is surrounded by a vibrant mix of artists, vendors, and some of LA’s best sweet treat creators.
Founded by self-taught ceramicist April Adewole, Adewole Arts reflects nearly a decade of exploration, creativity, and deep love for the craft. During the week, April creates her own pottery in the “Kitchen” studio space, and on weekends, she invites others to come play with clay, helping new and returning students connect, flirt, and form a relationship with the material.
The studio is open to all—families, pets, and people of every background—and shares its courtyard with food trucks, a lively market, and neighboring Brouwerij West beer garden. Whether you’re here to create, shop, or simply soak in the artistic energy, Adewole Arts offers a space to slow down, get your hands dirty, and make something meaningful.
