We thought it was fantastic value for money as we were there for almost 4 hours total and the teachers were incredibly generous with their time and the amount of clay we could use. We were never rushed and Nam took us through each stage of making a pot on a wheel - we had such a fun and enjoyable experience! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to try their hand at pottery. + more

Took my girlfriend to this class for her birthday, she loved it! Nam was a great guy and so were his helpers, the venue was beautiful, a studio they had built and designed themselves, it's bright and very modern and artsy!

It was a fascinating class that I thoroughly recommend as not only do you have a lot of hands-on pottery time using the wheel and various techniques using clay, but you also experience how potters studio runs. We're looking forward to picking up our fired and glazed pots. Thanks Malory and Columbia Road Clay! + more

We came for our friends birthday on a Friday night. Our host was extremely helpful and very hospitable - the venue was very cute and cosy and we had a wonderful time. Can’t wait to pick our planters up!

Mallory was an excellent teacher, this class was a brilliant introduction to pottery. It costs a bit more than other classes but it’s totally worth it due to the small class sizes and personalised attention you get - I messed up my pot several times but Mallory was always on hand to get me back on track and if you really mess up they even give you more clay to start again.

I can imagine myself getting quite lost if it was a class of 14 and ending up not really learning anything. They spend a lot of time telling you about the theory though which I understand prepares you better when you get down to the throwing though I do think this could be a tad shorter to give us more time with the clay. All-in-all a great birthday treat for my husband! + more

David and I really enjoyed the class. Relaxing and also love the idea that David could celebrate his birthday! We love that we could take our paintings home. The teachers and everyone helping out are great. The service is really top notch! Thank you guys so much.

My girlfriend took me to this pottery class for my birthday and it was incredible. The space is so beautiful and the teacher Gabby we really kind and patient. She took her time explaining all of the different steps to creating a pot and guided is through as we made our own. We made 5 pots between us and i really feel that I left with a good beginner understanding of pottery.

Gabrielle made this pottery class so fun! It was a birthday surprise from my partner who knows my live for pottery but he had not yet been introduced the the process. Gabrielle had to cater to two different abilities which she did wonderfully. She provided a good refresher into pottery making with easy to understand explanations that would be clear for a beginner as well.
