This review comes 9 years too late. The hand workshop may have saved my sanity while I struggled with an unfulfilling job & culture shock. I meant to take a pottery class here but since they were full(& I was desperate to start a hobby), I took the textile weaving class instead. I was hooked for a whole year, during which I also took the pottery classes. The hand workshop has a variety of classes all the way from metal welding, to photography, to screen printing, to art, to jewellery design. Parking use to be a bit of struggle but there was always street parking to be found close by. This place was also close to some lovely artisan delis so you could always walk over to grab a sandwich & drink before classes began.
