  • 5/5 from Kathryn Lussier, attended Sep 2024: We had a friend group go from a last year Christmas present. The teacher was awesome! Very informative, friendly, and super helpful. The venue was AMAZING! Such a nice place to learn and be with friends. The supplies provided were great! Everything was clean and easy to use. We learned how to use the wheel and how to handle different types of clay and how to use certain tools. We made lots of pieces too so you had tons to do. I think the experience is worth the money with how long you were there and how many things we made! I’d definitely recommend this!

  • 5/5 from Bobby Castro, attended Aug 2024: We came here for my wife's birthday and it was such a nice relaxing time! Everything we needed was provided and the neighborhood was noce a quiet so it was almost a zen like experience working with and learning how to use the clay. The experience we had was definitely worth the money and we'd definitely go again in the near future! Zoey and David were absolutely fantastic to work with. 10/10 would absolutely recommend anyone, children or adults to come by and have a good time!
  • 5/5 from Adam Titchenal, attended Jul 2024: We loved this pottery class! It was a gift for me and my wife and both of us were complete beginners. Zoe was a gracious host and a good instructor.

Would highly recommend for couples or with friends.

  • 5/5 from Anand Desai, attended Apr 2024: Went here for a fun date night, to try and do something more active and interesting than typical dates in the city. Found the setting to be really intimate, small group of folks allowed the instructor to work with us individually and help us with our ideas and answer all of our questions. This was a great experience and recommend to anyone who is interested in having a memorable evening.

  • 5/5 from Tina Nguyen, attended Feb 2024: Zoe was an absolutely great instructor and she emphasized the importance of having fun instead of focusing on making our creations perfect. I loved seeing all her animals and how beautiful the property was, her and her husband gave us a mini tour and their personalities are so warm and inviting. This was definitely worth the money and I would gladly take more workshops in the future at blue barn city farm.
  • 5/5 from Kiersten Carter, attended Feb 2024: My boyfriend brought me to this class as a Christmas gift, and we absolutely loved it :) the workshop was outdoors on the host’s patio. She had heat lamps running so it didn’t get too cold, and she provided aprons to protect our clothes. The class was very laid back, we were able to play around with the clay and create whatever spoke to us, with lots of great tips and help from the host when we needed her. It was a lovely experience, my boyfriend and I already want to come back for her open studio option :)
