My sixteen year old daughter and I had such a fun time doing the pinch pottery planter class! Addie was a wonderful teacher and we are excited to pick up our planters!! The classes are very reasonably priced and we look forward to going back very soon to create new pieces!!!

The Pottery Lot is excellent! I have been to 2 different classes, hand-built Christmas trees and hand-built angels. I can't wait to take more classes including the pottery wheel classes (when the weather gets warmer and more predictable). The staff is very friendly and helpful. In addition to classes, you can purchase pottery from local artists. This is a great addition to the high country!

We had an amazing experience hosting our daughter's birthday party at The Pottery Lot. I cannot recommend them enough. The indoor and outdoor spaces were perfect—the kids loved the hands-on pottery-making session, which kept them engaged and creative. The staff was fantastic, ensuring everything ran smoothly and making the day special. Having the outdoor area was a huge bonus; the kids had a blast running around and playing in the creek afterward. Our daughter said it was "her best birthday ever"! (If that alone isn't a five-star review, I don't know what is ). Highly recommend The Pottery Lot and we can't wait to take a few classes.

I’ve taken two classes at the Pottery Lot and they were both wonderful! My goal for the summer was to try pottery. I was excited to see that the pottery lot makes it really accessible and affordable. I did the slab mug glass and a one-off throwing class. I enjoyed both but throwing was a bit more of a challenge! Ryan was a very kind and patient teacher! I can’t wait for my next class!

I had a wonderful time attending one of their clay slab vase making classes. It was such a great experience I signed up for two of their 8-week classes! The instructors were so helpful, friendly and creative! I highly recommend for individuals or families!
