Clay Center of St Petersburg - St. Petersburg, Florida

Meaghan Browning

I took a hand building class (as a pottery novice) and it was such a fun experience. Everyone is so friendly, it's like a little pottery community inside, and they are so patient and helpful. They offer such an encouraging environment, you can feel comfortable expressing your creative side. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I have been going to the Clay Centre for 4 years now. Always welcomed by Nola, the studio pet and all artists, new and incredibly seasoned potters.
All willing to help and teach.
I was only ever sad when I saw a review about a car getting towed for parking there when the studio was closed. It’s studio parking only, no hours posted… so … no parking! Why review a place that you don’t belong to? Trust me, I get it, you have wheelchair parking - my mom was a paraplegic since I was 10 months old and I am now 60- she never parked where it was posted ‘No Parking’ Respect- that’s all. Back to the studio. Come on in. You will love it!

We recently started the pottery class, and happened to pass by this place, again, and went in.
There are many studios, some artists are there making their arts, some studios are empty. People are friendly and happy. They make and sell too. It's a very nice community.

Update: my wife and I returned. We figured with her now being experienced she would be able to get closer to the desired creation. Different instructor. Major difference in how he taught. Much easier to understand and he was willing to lend a hand for guidance.

Original Review: My wife and mother in-law throughly enjoyed the experience. They could have been a bit more educational while demonstrating. My wife went in with the mindset she was going to make a coffee cup and an espresso cup. The outcome was not as desired but could have been with the right mentoring. Awesome layout nice people.

I bought a Groupon for myself, my mom and Grandma and we had a wonderful time with Martha! She was a great teacher and we are excited for the next class to paint our pieces. You schedule your second class the day of the first class. There’s a nice gallery of pieces you can purchase. The place is peaceful and inviting. I think I will keep coming back!

Huge pottery center with 33 artists studios. Artists are incredibly talented, friendly and love to share their work and tell you how their clay pieces are made (pottery wheel, hand sculpted, Raku fired, different glazing techniques, etc). Lovely gift shop with lots of pottery and clay art sculptures for sale. Bright space and very welcoming. Offers an array of pottery classes. Participates in St. Petersburg Art Walk.

Nice atmosphere! Lots of beautiful art to see to get inspired and amazing people to work with. Everyone is so nice here, you feel like your right at home. It's very welcoming and accommodating. If you want to know more about classes to take they are extremely helpful and patient with newbies. Working with clay is an extraordinary spiritual creative process that I think everyone needs to experience.

I had a great time. The teacher, Lynn was funny and very knowledge. The class is a 6 week journey with open studio time between classes. I had no previous experience, and found that I had no trouble understanding Lynn. Both my wife and I are taking the class, and we both had a great time. This was my first good price at the 1st lesson. Highly recommended.
