Wilcoxson Brooklyn Ceramics — Local services in New York

If I could come to the studio every day and spend hours upon hours creating a variety of pieces here I would! Not just because the outcome of whatever it is you create is awesome. Kevin and his colleagues within the studio move around the space while you're creating and will trouble shoot with you, encourage you, provide you space to just be and give it a go - No one hovers over you just watching what you do. You also have space between other people within the class creating works too. It's nice to step back and feel inspired by the works created by those with whom Kevin operates with that are displayed and for sale - I have 2 pieces from the store that I have to say are stunning. Then, my own creations which I some how put together and absolutely adore in my home space. They bring within me a sense of personal heart and soul in my home as I start my day out of my Let's Dance (David Bowie)/Cream (Prince) mug, or my favorite artist in Brooklyn, Maya Hayuk and move over to water my tiny cactus where (I tried) to create Lips on it! Maybe they aren't the finest lips but who cares - I think all the pieces I created are fabulous and the pieces in the space to purchase are one of a kind pieces that you just have to swipe up too! I recommend the Water Bottle and also one of the vases. They are the 2 I found to be just magical. Much love to Kevin and his team. Keep doing what you do - The world needs more people like...

I went to a class in summer 2024 with my partner and had a good time. We love our pieces and they still hold strong.

My lower rating is due to my experience August 2023. I reserved a class and could not make it due to a day of personal emergency. I emailed the studio and they replied that there were no refunds at all and couldn't reschedule less than a week before the class. I understood at the time. Still, I really wanted to take the class so I waited until I could save enough money and register for the class again.

When I had my class this year, I kept trying to figure out why I couldn't get a refund or reschedule. Anyone who didn't show up just had their molds removed and the clay slip set out for them put back in the buckets they came from. It seemed like not a big deal for the instructors because no material or time went to waste. I could be wrong.

I understand not offering refunds or anything like that if no one shows up and doesn't bother reaching out, but I am a bit surprised that they would not want me to experience their class? Do they not understand last minute emergencies happen? I'm a bit disgusted that they just took my money.

Overall if you don't ever expect to have a personal emergency or fall sick the day of, you might...

Wilcoxson Brooklyn Ceramics was a perfect choice for celebrating my birthday with a group of friends.

It started with an easy booking process thanks to Kevin who was very friendly, flexible and responsive to our needs.

We had a spacious and bright studio upstairs all to ourselves complemented by BYOB and freedom to choose our own music which made the creative process even more enjoyable.

But of course the main highlight of the experience was a pottery class itself. Our instructor, Matt, was fantastic. He patiently explained the pottery making process before we started and offered helpful tips throughout the whole 3-hour session. We really enjoyed making the cups - it was challenging enough for beginners like us but very rewarding, as by the end of the class everyone was able to make 2 cups each!

I highly recommend this ceramics studio for a group event and plan to return for a regular...
