Drove 1 hours and 30 minutes just to visit Yay Clay! So happy we did! It was my wife’s 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. Everything was just a 10/10. The different rooms were cool! We had the Retro Room and is 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 the other young woman were very helpful today and very 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 won’t regret it.

What a fun experience! My boyfriend surprised me with this experience, and we did it in the middle of the week, so it was only us in the class so we got extra attention. Woo!! The instructor was patient, informative, and engaging. I had long nails, so we figured out the options to best continue to experience to compensate for them and it was a great success.

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!

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!

Can’t recommend this place enough. The decor is absolutely adorable. Very thought out and cool. Our instructor Andrew was awesome. We had a great time here. Great spot. I think we’re gonna start the 8 week program soon!
