Hands in Clay L.A. Wheel & Hand-building Pottery Classes

There are not enough stars for this magical place!!! This is far and away the best pottery studio in all of Los Angeles, probably anywhere.

I absolutely love coming to this cozy, organized and sparkling clean pottery studio. The instructors are friendly and excellent which always makes classes worthwhile. I especially enjoy using all the cool tools and super fancy wheels they have. As a member, I get to come here often and meet the most lovely people in this one of a kind community. This is my all time favorite studio!!! & they offer yummy tea too ❤️

West LA Art world is so lucky to have them now in the community. I
