YARO STUDIOS — Attraction in New York

As someone who has a few years of ceramics experience, I find that Yaro is a really lovely place that has pretty much everything one would want out of a ceramics studio! Equipment is in great condition, good offering of glazes and a lot of workshop offerings. The membership and class options are very fair/comparable to other studios in NYC. The individual workshops are pretty dependent on the instructor, but generally, everyone who teaches there is super knowledgeable and warm.

The studio is airy, spacious, and well-maintained, the staff and other students/members form a nice community, and overall has a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. Also good/bad for me that I have to pass Radio Bakery on the way here...
