What you'll learn in this handbuilding class:

This is a terrific introductory class to working with clay, no prior experience is required.

A:

    The class was fun but I didn't feel like I learned anything new. I would've liked to see a few more techniques of how they make stuff in the studio and a bit of information about the glazing process. It was definitely not worth 125. And I wouldn't recommend this class to anyone

    This was a fun way to spend a couple of hours and i like that it culminates with you each making something you can have in your home. Maybe not to share with guests(i'm not an artist) but its a nice keepsake from a fun date night.

    Anonymous review on 6/18/2017
    The class was okay, it was pretty crowded for such a small workspace & the students kept getting in each other's way. The teacher was kind and informative but there wasn't enough space to really roll out the clay comfortably. I would recommend setting the limit at 3-4 couples, instead of the 5 that were there. Also, the first time we booked the class, it was cancelled day off. Not a fantastic experience overall.

    The teacher did a great job leading and modeling for the class. We had a great size with 4 couples. It would have been really tight if all 8 couples signed up had come. The room was a pretty warm but the teacher turned on the fan to help us out. I loved the class and can't wait to pick up my mug in a few weeks.

    We showed up and the class had been over sold. After commuting all the way to the UWS - we were sent away. Very disappointed and while they offered a refund/schedule switch - we are unlikely to come back.

What do you mean by a $50 non-refundable deposit at the time of registration, and does the $125 course price already include the $25 firing fee?

Hi Nikita, Sorry for any confusion here! For the Couples Night - Handbuilding Pottery class, you have no additional costs to pay aside from the $125 course price. The $50 non-refundable deposit (which is now updated to $75) does not apply to this course, and the $25 firing fee is already included in the course price. Hope this helps!
