We celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary with a pottery and wine session at ViaClay, and it was the perfect choice! I had booked our spot well in advance, and we were warmly greeted by instructors Jack and Carmen, who were fantastic guides throughout. Jack started with a quick but clear introduction on how to work with the clay. The pace was swift, but then he walked us through each step, making sure everyone got the hang of it. It was so engaging that we lost track of time, completely engrossed in the creative process. With their guidance, we managed to make three pieces each—more than we expected! At the end, the trainers helped us glaze and paint our creations, adding a personal and artistic touch to each piece. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we’d love to come back to try it again.

Natalie is a great teacher! The class was very well organized. Each person threw three pieces so you actually have pieces to take home after they glaze and fire them. Her instructions were simple and very clear and we practiced so I am looking forward to using the techniques she taught us. The student pieces were great and many were first timers. Well worth the cost.

Just got out of the 11:30 AM class and I already can’t wait to go back!! The instructors are amazing. I wasn’t confident that I would complete anything but I was able to make 3 piece! Definitely worth it.

My daughter treated me to an intro class and we had a blast. We each made three pieces. You must try this at least once in your life! Highly recommend!

This was super fun and the instructors kept repeating the steps and were very helpful. I was amazed we actually created pieces this first day that I now got to keep! The price seemed high to me when signing up, but afterwards I now think it was worth the money.
