At first I found this to be a place where I could do ceramics and have fun with my kids. I thought that the people were kind and gentle folk but after being in the studio atmosphere for lengths of time I found that they didn't know what they were doing and became quite rude. Many of my pieces got broken while payed workers & the owner were moving them from place to place. They had a drummel tool grinding area in the middle of the of the studio w/out any ventilation (dangerous and would not pass inspections). Many of the glazes weren't what they said they were and hardly ever got made when empty. They ruined over fifty of my pieces in the glaze firings and always said that "that's the nature of being a potter ". Guess what? It's not, I studied pottery and ran studios before. Their facilities aren't even properly licensed for business I found out. Another thing that was annoying was that one of the owners, Michi, quite often set up and played her guitar and sang while people were trying to work. Much to the chagrin of all and scaring many away. In short, they are good for taking children to, to learn how to begin making pottery (if you're willing to take the chance they won't catch silicosis) but beyond that, they don't know how to run a professional, high quality studio at all. Not to mention the place looks like a dump in the desert.
