District Clay Center

Celebrated my birthday with a few friends at District Clay. Johnathan was excellent to coordinate with and our instructor Daniel was passionate and helped ensure a great time for everyone. The studio has a warm collaborative energy.

Visited NGO, Plants & Blooms Reimagined, a special floral design work space.

I recommend this place only to people who are flexible and not too concerned about what comes out. I have mixed feelings about it.

On one hand, it's a good deal and the instructors are nice (for the most part).

On the other hand, you need to speak up if you need guidance, most of the time the kiln is loaded by work-study people that are sometimes a bit careless and unfocused, so there are accidents, and then there are also problems with glazes.

After the 10 weeks of class, students must clear their shelf but the temporary shelf is always crowded, increasing chances of accidents, and it takes a few more weeks for your final pieces to be fired. So even if you are finished, kiln traffic is always high and you have to go back every other week to see if your pieces are done.

They accommodated a small group of us last minute. We had a great time. They glazed and fired our pots. I’ll be back again for sure.

You could not choose a better place to learn. The instructors are terrific, the space is warm and welcoming and the generosity of spirit is palpable. Whether you are a beginner or pro all are welcomed equally.

This is a great place, helpful, responsive teachers, good equipment, unique warm atmosphere where you can interact with other students or just be - everyone is helpful, that's just is the culture of the place. Beautiful pottery and great learning. I swore to myself I wasn't going to tell anyone about District Clay to keep it as lovely as it is, but here I am, posting this five star review!

Great place to learn, see and do pottery. Classes. Gallery. Studio space. All excellent. And friendly and knowledgeable community.
