Arts & Thoughts Studio — Local services in Teays Valley

horrible teacher she forgot to show up to class on numerous occasions after i had to drive an hour to get there. was very rude and would only let you ask questions one time. she walked out on class because she had buyers come in and she left beginners who had never done pottery before alone in the studio. after my class session ended we asked when we could pick up the pieces we made, she said we would have to pay for more lessons. we said we weren't going to. she said well you have to if you want your pieces and because we wouldn’t she threw our pieces away. remind you we paid for the class and on top of that we paid for all the supplies and she still threw it away after we had already glazed and fired our pieces. she told another student to stop asking her “dumb questions” about the glazes and techniques. do not recommend this place at all if i could give it a zero i would worst art experience i’ve ever had and i’ve been doing art for 16 years. i recommend taking lessons at taylor’s books much nicer people and much...

Update review- April 2025: I’m in my 10th year with Homaira at Arts & Thoughts Art Studio! She is my mentor, my teacher and my dear friend!

I’ve been taking classes with Homaira for about five years. Best money I have ever spent for a hobby with a wonderful instructor and the added benefits of new friends, stress relief, added fun activities and lots of practice time. Check out her...

I am so happy that I found Arts and Thoughts! Having wanted for many years to attempt making pottery, the studio answered that dream for me. Homaira provides not only skilled lessons (her talents are amazing, and her own art is sold in various venues around the state), but the studio is well planned and nurtures not only aspiring potters but artists with painting talents as well. Homaira’s pride in the studio is obvious, and she enjoys helping students find their own skills. She offers both adult and children the opportunity to explore their ideas and bring them to life. Teays Valley is fortunate to have this studio...
