Glad to have done this experience! Make sure to read the email details on how to access the studio. The studio itself has remarkable decor! I was fascinated by every inch of the wall.
The classes are typically 2 hours but can be shorter if it’s a smaller group. You’re able to make whatever you want – mugs, plates, vases!
I learned so much and grew a new appreciation for pottery. Devin was super patient and knowledgeable. He helped our dreams come true!
After the class, you can pick up your piece 4 weeks later once the glaze is on and the piece is fired up in the kiln.
So thankful that my friend gifted me with a pottery class experience for my birthday! The entire experience was so much fun! The duration of the class was 2 hours and was led by an instructor who was patient and answered any questions that participants had about the process! He explained every detail and would jump in when I was struggling (which was often lol). Overall, great experience! I can’t wait to return!
Such a fun and different date night! We did a clay date and had the best time!!! Came on a Friday night and parking was easy. It’s also BYOB!!!
It was us and 4 other couples. Our instructor James was great. The whole room was a vibe and we had the best time making out pieces then decorating them!
Drove 1hour and 30 minutes just to visit YayClay! So so happy we did! It was my wifes birthday and she’s always wanted to try pottery. Hands down the best place. We’ve never done pottery before so we were a little nervous but the instructors were amazing! They take everything step by step. They work hands on with you as well so thats also a big help. Everything was just a 10/10. The different rooms were cool! We had the retro room and it was so cool to see everything they had. They had 2 free arcade games and a free claw machine. Plenty of photo ops. Tori and another young woman were very helpful today and informative. They made our first experience so memorable and so fun! Worth every penny and more! We will definitely be back! So if you’re second guessing it, JUST GO! BOOK IT! You wont regret it
We always knew there was something about getting your hands in clay.
Turns out science agrees.
A study out of the University of Hong Kong followed 106 people with depression. They worked with clay for 2.5 hours a week over 6 weeks. Compared to other art therapies, clay came out on top — better overall health, fewer depressive symptoms, and improved emotional regulation.
We are not therapists. We are not a treatment center. But we do know that people leave here feeling different than when they walked in.
Maybe it’s the focus. Maybe it’s creating something with your hands. Maybe it’s just having two hours where your brain gets to be somewhere else.
Whatever it is — your spot is waiting.

It is not about being perfect. It is about sharing the experience!
You end up leaving with something you made and a memory attached to it.
Bring a friend, a date, or your people.

A lot of people do not realize this part.
You do not just make something and call it a day.
After you throw your piece, you get to come back and decorate it.
Pick your colors, add your style, make it feel like yours.
That is where it really comes together.
You do not need any experience for that either. We will guide you through it just like the first part.
You start with a lump of clay and leave with something that actually feels personal.

You sit down, try it out, and somewhere along the way it just starts to click!
By the end, you have something you made yourself and it actually feels kind of crazy.
You might come in a beginner, but you definitely do not leave like one.
