Had a great time with the entire family. The instruction was great and it was super cool being able to work in the studio amongst the artists for a couple hours. We were all super thrilled with our finished pieces, even if it meant destroying them at the end!

What a wonderful experience. Our instructor, Joan, was very knowledgeable and patient. It was a very fun introductory course of throwing pottery with a wheel.

Had a super fun experience at Paseo!!! We got to learn the basics about throwing pottery on a wheel, and it inspired both of us to take a series of classes once we got back home to Colorado! Thank you Paseo--and Aio for the fun class!!

Christopher was fantastic. He provided both demonstration and then hands-on where required. The space is modern, comfortable and the cocktails were a plus.
