ARTESANA POTTERY — Local services in Union City

Awful sign up process and someone needs to be transparently honest about what it's really like . We were told via website that classes would open up at 8 AM .I have been on a waitlist since December 18th and this morning I was on the website at 7:45 AM preparing to sign up , classes started loading in one by one and by 8:02 AM everything was gone for month of May and June .

She offers month long courses, one day workshops, and clay hangouts; providing both wheel throwing and hand building opportunities. It has been an absolute pleasure to be a student here and I really cannot recommend this...

The sense of community here is amazing, and it’s clear that everyone who walks through the doors feels valued. If you’re looking to explore ceramics in a space that feels like home, this is the...
