My girls have been several times but this was my first visit. AJ & Sophie were so knowledgeable, helpful & prompt when we needed supplies. They are also so helpful with me as it being my first time. I can not wait to pick up our creations & plan to visit for more often. When I do, I hope its on their day working as well!!

Still haven't gotten my pieces back after months with me trying to call twice with them telling me they'd call/email me when ready and no call back or emails. I went to throw just paying time on the wheel which is supposed to include firing. It's also super expensive, almost as much as the cost for the classes ($20 per hour). And they have very limited options for times to throw on the wheel if your not in a class. On the other hand it's a cute small studio, maybe they do well just for one off classes and pottery painting/glazing.
