I went from never doing this to enjoying a couple of mugs, and bowls! My wife ended up with half a dozen items all perfectly shipped back to our home, when we got back from vacation. Very fun and easy going instructor had us feeling like we could make anything in our two hour visit. Highly reccomend trying this! More

Nice storefront location easy to find. Plenty of clay and equipment to create a unique project. I spent two hours with my sisters and kids forming my projects and getting on the wheel.

Each of the boys made several projects of hand works and 2 on the... More

This is a must if you are in the Bryson City area. Spent two hours as a couple with Elise learning some tricks of the trade and then had a chance to make several items including bowls, mugs and a very creative gnome that is now sitting on my desk at work. Work was glazed and then mailed to our... More
