Gorgeous work and wide selection of pots, plates and more. Love supporting a local artist, especially since her work is outstanding.

It's time for this hidden treasure to be exposed! The owner/instructor, April, is a sweet queen who knows her stuff. She has everything you can ask for and if you don't see it, ask. April offers classes for beginners, and that could be a fun date, anniversary, birthday, or pre-wedding outing. She offers affordable prices on her one-of-a-kind wares and you can bet her merchandise is A-1 quality. Call for an appointment or drop in if you're in the area. Tell her that I sent you and watch the smile that appears on her face.

April was an amazing instructor. She guided me all throughout the process, even when my "bowl" was all slanting down to one side with her magic and help we brought it back to center :) A wonderful experience and very meditating activity.

April is as genuine as can possibly be. Great for beginners. Great for intermediate. Great for the advanced. April guides you through the entire project one step at a time and will help you along the way. Jane and I had such a wonderful time together crafting our bowls. Pinching clay is therapeutic mana for the soul. Heck, April--unbeknownst to her--gave me some free therapy when she mentioned how I set my standards too high and ended up overworking my piece . It will forever be a memory that I will cherish visiting.

April is the best!! Don't look any further attend one of her classes because you will not be disappointed. She is extremely talented and helpful. This was my first time, and she made me feel comfortable and confident. April was extremely Patient and sweet with us. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. As if her work ethics and talent wasn't enough, Her set up is so beautiful and welcoming. Every little inch of her station is pleasing to the eye and creative. I love her aesthetics and attention to detail. My fiancé and I loved her class and can't wait to come back.
