Clay Owen Studios

This place is not kid friendly at all. We were not informed of a policy regarding dropping off kids for art classes. This policy was stated on their website but not on our groupon or in the confirmation email from the owner. When I checked my kids in I asked what time they needed to be picked up there was only one other person in the studio at the time. The owner had plenty of time to state the policy and give me a chance to reschedule. Instead she said nothing. I left and was contacted 15 minutes later by her stating I needed to return and supervise my children due to her policy. There is also a policy of no one under the age of six in the studio. As I had. 2,4,5 year old in tow my kids had to leave the class. No apology was made and my kids were crying. Definitely not the way to make a good impression. We cancelled all of the other groupons we had purchased for this company.

I love Clay Owen Studios. Autumn is warm and welcoming and patiently walked me towards building a beautiful stained glass creation :). She even instructed me on what materials to use and why. The studio was busy, but Autumn has so much energy she easily navigated between groups. I will definitely be coming back!!!

What a wonderful place! My husband and I found this place on Groupon and we are thrilled. We have done a stained glass class and also a pottery class so far. Be prepared for cluttered, close quarters, which is expected for this young, entrepreneur (Autumn) that teaches many different types of art and all on her own. She gets a significant amount of business and can at times have several classes going on. This results in her having to bounce back and forth with students and instructing them at times. She does an amazing job for running this establishment all on her own. If you feel like you need more instruction, just ask her. She is incredibly kind and patient and more than willing to spend more time with a student in need of more instruction. To sum it all up; it was a blast and we will be returning many times in the future!

Autumn, Thank you so much for a wonderful class. Your knowledge of your craft was inspiring. My husband says we have a new hobby.

We took a mosaics class through groupon. It was a lot of money for minimal supplies scrap and a minute or two of instruction. She wasn’t prepared for the class (had to wait for chairs even let alone basic supplies) and we saw her maybe 5 minutes during the three hour «class.» Mosaic is clearly not rocket science but it still would have been nice to know how to get a really good final product, what type of glue to use etc., or get some artistic guidance since we did pay over $ 100. We finally just left with a half done product to figure out how to finish on our own at home rather than do the same there and have to pay for studio time to complete. Disappointing experience. Hopefully it was just an off day.

The studio is very well equipped and the artist, Autumn, is very helpful and multitalented. My daughter and I did a mosaic class and I was really scared to do it since I have no artistic talent whatsoever. She showed us how and explained it well and I had such fun picking out the colored glass bits. I used lavenders and pinks and teals and mirror and made a beautiful butterfly. Autumn has classes in jewelry, pottery, stained glass, mosaic, and other cool things. I felt very comfortable even though I am new at everything.

Wow what a great place! I have done stained glass… mosaics and thrown pottery. Autumn is fun and eager to please. She will do everything in her power to make your day! It’s a small studio but she knows how to multitask and answer questions when help is needed. If you can’t follow directions or need someone to make a project FOR you… this isn’t your place but if you are artistically inclined or just want to relax at the pottery wheel this place is up your ally. My boyfriend and I bought a pass and go whenever we can. After a stress filled day there’s nothing like relaxing with good company and glazing a pot. :) can’t wait to make more art at the studio!

Now that she is running the studio full time it is much improved.
