Murray Hill Pottery Works

Went here on a date night for the first time last week. Definitely a fun time and quirky venue for a night out. I wish that the class had come with more instruction before they sent us off on our own as this was my first time at a pottery wheel. But with that said, I felt happy with my final piece and am excited to see what it looks like once it’s done. The class inspired my boyfriend and I to want to learn more, so we will be taking additional pottery classes in the future.

I LOVE MURRAY HILL POTTERY WORKS!
I love how when you walk in, you can hear the kilns, and see all of the pottery. It looks like a real studio with the unfinished pieces on the shelves, and the members work in their designated places.
I am taking a class here through UWM and it is so enjoyable. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and always down to teach you. My first piece I made was frankly a quite terrible item that maybe resembled a bowl. However, she showed me what I needed to do next time, and was supportive! I even kept it because it was my first item. They were never critical at all, which I really loved. It’s hard to try and learn a new craft when people are judging you. It isn’t like that at all!
I also love how they have spots for you to put your pieces on designated shelves. They have a lot of tools, aprons, and kilns. Also I love working in the back room because it’s a lot warmer in there.
If you are interested in pottery at all I would highly suggest going here! You can see the teachers and the owners love for what they do. That’s a rare thing at times!
P. S. WEAR CLOTHES/​SHOES YOU DON’T MIND GETTING CLAY ALL OVER! :) I now have designated pottery pants.
