I took a multi-week beginner class where I was the only actual beginner, so the instructors neglected a lot of information that I needed. And my several interactions with the owner left much to be desired.

Absolutely loved it! My husband and I took a wheel throwing class, and it was so much fun. I was disappointed that the class was only 2 hours long. I could have done it all day. Our instructor was Emma, and she was patient, helpful, and encouraging. They also had an amazing display up for us to see.

Love this place. Great community, wonderful facility, fun classes. I've been taking pottery classes on and off for a year now here and it's been a rewarding experience learning the craft.

Some friends and I took a wheel throwing class during their “night out” series. We were given detailed instructions and then allowed to work on the wheels the remained of the class. Our instructor was very helpful and made sure to check in with all of us through the class. We were able to take two of our pieces to be fired and glazed. There is a large shelf where the pieces are placed for pickup near the entrance of the studio. They offer single session classes and ones that span over several weeks.Our instructor also let us see what was for sale in a gallery. It showcased pieces from resident artists, who also help to teach the classes.

If you want to do pottery this is the place to be. Learn how and just do it.

I was referred to Iowa Ceramics Center and Glass Studio by a ceramics faculty member at the University of Iowa for a mug replica replacement project. I have owned a mug for years from my high school that means a great deal to me and it broke. The mugs are no longer made and I can't find any available to purchase, so I wanted to hire someone to make a replica of the mug.I emailed the owner on February 22 about the possibility of her or one of her instructors helping me out with this project. She replied that day and asked me to send her a picture and dimensions and would let me know if someone could help out. I emailed her back that evening with the requested information.Since then I have not heard back. I sent three follow-up emails to her on March 2, March 10, and March 24. It has now been over a month since I sent the requested information.At this point since I have not gotten a reply for over a month, my assumption is that herself, nor any of her instructors, are available to help me with this project. Which is completely fine. What I would have much preferred is if she had communicated that with me instead of just leaving me in limbo, especially with the three follow-up emails I had sent her a little over a month. Or, if she was still figuring things out, just to get some response and reply to one of my three follow-up emails.I feel getting a reply back from her would have been great from a courtesy perspective and also for customer service.I am a little disappointed that I have not heard anything back from the owner in over a month, especially after three follow-up emails. I will be looking elsewhere for having this project completed.

This place was so much fun! I loved making a project from clay—sooo much more creative than one of those “paint by number” studios. I felt like I actually got to be creative and learn again in covid times. My husband loved his wheel class and we even were able to BYOB for our Friday date night!! The instructors were fantastic too and the historic Cherry building was beautiful. Everyone wore masks and I get safe. Go if you haven’t already!!

Great atmosphere and wonderful people! I've taken classes at the studio and have also brought a Girl Scout troop to work on a fun patch at the studio. Always a great experience!

Surprised my partner with a one on one pottery lesson for Valentine's Day. Our instructor, Mitchell, was absolute amazing. We're totally coming back!
