As my first official ceramics/pottery class, I immediately felt a sense of community with the other students and Ken. … Ken was so patient and kind as an instructor.

I had an absolutely great experience with our instructor. She was kind, explained things throughly, re-explained when we needed guidance, and didn’t rush us AT ALL.

My wife and I booked a date night pottery class for two at Blue Dog Ceramics yesterday. It was a fantastic experience!

As total beginners, this class was a low-stakes and high-reward way to try out pottery for the first time. We highly recommend this studio and the “date night” experience!

Everyone is working at their own pace and our own creativity is encouraged. Ken was very supportive in guiding to bring my visions to life…
