  • 5/5 from Megan Green, attended Oct 2026: A very cute and approachable class for a beginner with clay! Great instructor! Looking forward to the final product:)
  • 2/5 from Rocky Supinger, attended Sep 2026: Sorry guys, but the staffing challenges today made this a bad experience. I was there for 2 hours and got about 10 minutes with an instructor. Lots of time sitting doing nothing. There were other classes going on with larger groups of people that seemed to be getting lots of instruction. I just think my activity couldn’t be a priority, don’t didn’t feel like a good use of my time.
