Recent reviews of Sculpt and Paint Ceramics Workshop

  • 5/5 from Ninad Mehta, attended May 2026: We had a great time at the Sculpt and Paint Ceramics Workshop. The teacher was patient, helpful, and made the class easy to follow. It was a fun, relaxing, and creative experience, and we loved being able to personalize our own ceramic piece. A definite recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing activity!
  • 5/5 from Brooke, attended Jan 2026: This was a really fun class! We went to a great location in LIC, it is a buidling full of artist and makers which has such good energy for creating! The insctructor is so kind and really helped us think of what we wanted to make for our first hand building ceramics experience. The first step is to sketch out your design, then work with the clay to create the shape and build a piece from scratch using tecniques like scoring and smoothing. After your piece has been molded to your desired creation, there is time to paint a design/ pick a glaze for your final product and really add your own creative flare to your project even more! The teacher is really passionate about her work as she also designs jewlery out of ceramic material and we really enjoyed her company. I am really excited to see how our creations come out! Very fun and laid back overall expereice - thank you!!!
  • 5/5 from Barbara Tirrell, attended Jun 2025: After a few stumbles in booking the class our instructor Alicia was outstanding in the experience overall just a joy. We so enjoyed working with the clay and just being whimsical. We had absolutely no experience with sculpting so had no expectations and we’re both just thrilled with what we managed to produce! Alicia is a gem, professional, personable, knowledgeable, kind and very patient. I highly recommend the class
  • 5/5 from Johnny Kozlowski, attended May 2025: Fun class for a bday or date. Mujer was great!
  • 5/5 from Kae Ben, attended Apr 2025: I had a great time in this sculpting class! The teacher was awesome—really encouraging and made the whole experience fun and relaxed. I learned a lot and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to get creative.
  • 5/5 from Ariel, attended Apr 2025: Diana was the most kind, thoughtful, encouraging and patient teacher ever! She created such a personalized experience for me and my date! I highly recommend this class! Definitely 10/10
  • 5/5 from Rachel Hasanov, attended Mar 2025: Wow!! What an amazing class with Diana! She is so knowledgeable, personable, and sweet! My friend and I had a great time and I’ll definitely do this again!
