Smokestack Pottery

A group of 10 of us went to Smokestack Pottery for a fun pottery night out and it was great! Sue and Joey were there to help us, and after a short demonstration, we were freed to make our pieces. I took a semester of ceramics in high school and while I was never good, the muscle memory was apparently still there because I picked it up again relatively quickly. And they turned out way better than the things I ever made! Must be the good teaching and the smaller lumps of clay :)
Sue and Joey were very patient and helpful when it came to centering, providing instruction, and helping us fix our pieces. We were allowed to make 4 pieces of pottery within an approximately 2 hour period, after which we cleaned up and picked our glazes. Music played throughout the session and some cheese and crackers were provided for snacks — it really was wonderful and relaxing. The pieces should be available for pickup in about 4 weeks I think — hopefully they turn out well!
I’ve already talked to some of my other friends and hope to go back again. It’s normally $ 35 for a session where you can make 4 pieces, and $ 5 per piece after. They also have 7 week classes for $ 200. I definitely recommend stopping by, it was tons of fun!
