Pottery Central

Pottery Central is honestly the best place to learn how to throw on the wheel by an excellent, experienced instructor. When I decided to take classes, I was going back and forth between Pottery Central and another studio down the street. I am so glad I chose Pottery Central! I can work at my own pace, have all hours access to the studio, and even more, feel like part of a community.

Andrew is a great teacher. He listens and helps when you ask. He’s also funny and easy to get a long with. The space maybe small but it’s homey and everyone gets along pretty well. Sometimes it can be messy, but hey show me a CLEAN clay studio… i have actually seen worse. It’s a 24-​hour studio if you have the code so it’s pretty safe if you are here alone. The price is also the cheapest around, way better than some place called Clay Works… but way nicer here.

I’m a photographer and painter by hobby standards. I came here (when they were located on Central Ave) for potery class. I Had a GREAT time.
Andrew is como de sey… AWSOME!!!
Great instructor. The ppl in the class with me at the time already knew each other and welcomed me with open paint strokes.
In school I looked up to the late great Bob Ross. (Mr. Happy Clouds himself). Even though Bob was a painter. Once I created my sculpture I was able to get my «BOB ROSS» on. lol
Go have fun… enjoy… (don’t know if he still does… but at that time we were allow to bring an adult beverage… just make sure you bring him one… I think his beer of choice was St. Pauli Girl)
Cheers

hi all,
its a amazing place to learn pottery.
I have been there for 2 weeks and Andrew is so patience and guides u so well.
If you are looking for learning basics and become creative this is the place.

I have been using the pottery lab here for 2 weeks now and gotta say, this is an ideal place for me to do pottery. I have been doing pottery for a while and don’t really care to take anymore classes so the owner allowed me to just us the lab. The rate is good, for 90 $ /​month I get to use the lab whenever I want, as long as I’m not interrupting a class or there all day everyday.
The lab it’s self is a decent size and is rumored to be expanding soon. Right now there are approximately 14 wheels, a hand building area, wash area, and everyone gets their own utility shelf.
Since I haven’t taken the classes I can’t speak onto that experience, however the owner, Andy, is rather skilled with clay and I would think he could teach the ropes quite well. He is very down to earth and you can tell he does this for the love of art not money.
I have been to several pottery labs in different area’s and within a short period of time, this is the most relaxed place to do pottery, not to mention it’s not ridiculously over priced like «Dish It Out».
