Recent reviews of Porcelain Mugs Pottery Class

  • 5/5 from Benjamin Lioue, attended Oct 2026: Great experience! Friendly staff, and lots of fun!
  • 5/5 from Bryanna Santos, attended Sep 2026: Amazing class! The teachers were super kind and helpful, and the studio was nice as well. Went with my roommates as a little bonding activity, and this would be great for friends or even a cute little date! So excited to get my mugs back in a few weeks after seeing the work of past students. Would come again!
  • 5/5 from Jimi Bang, attended Sep 2026: Both instructors were patient and clear with their step-by-step instructions. The three-hour class was enough time to create two mugs, which my friend and I were excited about — some other places only let you make one, or charge an extra fee if you want to make more. I highly recommend this class, especially if you're gifting it to a friend. I bought it as a birthday gift for my friend, who appreciates experiences over material gifts.
  • 5/5 from Aishwarya Gupta, attended Aug 2026: Sweetest people! They are so passionate and helpful. With them 3 hours flew past just like that. I had the best time getting the creative juices flowing!
  • 5/5 from Kahleel Hamilton, attended Aug 2026: My friends and I had the best time! Our teachers were Lucas and Lillian and they were so accommodating and helpful. They interacted with us and were willing to jump in and support when we needed. They were also very encouraging. Highly recommended taking the class.
  • 5/5 from Jelani Grant, attended Jul 2026: Loved it. It was very fun and the instructors were all incredibly sweet and helpful
  • 5/5 from Clare Evans Masi, attended May 2026: Four of us took the Mug class with the fabulous Lucas. It was relaxing and creative and so enjoyable. None of us had experience with the process so Lucas gave an excellent lesson. Can’t wait to go back and pick up our finished pieces.
  • 5/5 from Sara Schillaci, attended May 2026: Loved it! Easier than expected and super fun. The teachers were very very helpful!

  • 5/5 from Justyn Jackere, attended Mar 2026: It was an over all fantastic experience! The instructors were very nice and patient. We learned actual, professional techniques. Not to mention, we met some cool people while there.

  • 5/5 from Anthony Mejias, attended Nov 2025: The Porcelain Mugs Pottery Class conducted at @Wilcoxson Brooklyn Ceramics was very enjoyable. Kevin; the workshop moderator; began with a brief overview of the different types of ceramics and methods of working with the ceramics. After that, a brief demostration of what I and the other participants will be doing was conducted. A discussion on how the project will be covered with glaze, inserted into kiln and fired. After that the class was left to work on his/her own project. Options are two mugs, two mugs each with a saucer, planter and base or complete dinner set. After each completed their particular project, we poured clay on our design, waited for it to dry and Kevin then aided each student on removing from mold and how to take the flat clay and mold into whatever your projects was. The last step was addition of a handle to the mug, if so desired. This workshop allows each participant to not only be creative on the outer; and inner; surfaces but also on the shape itself of the mug, planter, bowl or plate. Anyone looking to work with porcelain clay and also be creative in creating a unique object I would sign up for one of the options at Wilcoxson Brooklyn Ceramics in Brooklyn, NY.
