I love Clayscapes! Incredible customer service, friendly staff, and a great product selection. Always so quick to answer a question, make product recommendations, and their glazes are pretty awesome! I enjoy my trips, and I'm always happy to see Jamie and the rest of the crew. I highly recommend Clayscapes for all of your pottery needs!

We were just passing by. Everyone was super nice. They gave us a tour of the studios, gave us tricks and answered questions. Would take courses if I lived close enough

After signing up with a friend in the hopes of learning we both felt our teacher was too busy playing with the music and other peoples social life than actually teaching us what we payed over $300.00 for. This is a family run business so when I called about my lack of learning I was told that I should go to YMCA! I wouldnt recommend this place at all!

Great gallery, workshop and supply store for clay artists. They have a rotating selection of artists showing in their gallery. They also have some work to buy, items like bowls and mugs. Helpful and nice.

Can't say enough about these great folks - I have been taking classes for 5 years and I love my instructor, Millie - and my classmates. They get up close and personal and guide you into the potter you want to become. There are many wheels and lots of folks just do hand-building. There is a plethora of material there - different clay bodies, glazes, books, and the teachers have so much to share, and they do. My class is 2.5 hours one day a week but anytime they are open I can go in and work. Love these folks and love how far I have come since I began.
