I received several one-on-one lessons from Jeff at Art Wheel a few summers ago. I had never sculpted before and had no idea what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised by just about every aspect of the experience. The studio is a very relaxed environment, well lit and with the proper tools to make my vision come to life.

I recommend spending some time considering what you want to sculpt, make sure it's something meaningful and interesting to you, as you will be spending lots of time with it. I sculpted Gollum from the Hobbit. I think the design I came up with posed a lot of difficulties, especially for a novice student. However, clay is a very forgiving medium. Make sure you're willing to bring your patience with you. Be willing to redo something if it doesn't look right.

Jeff is a great teacher and artist. He gave me advice about composition and design. He taught me how to use all the tools and how to get the clay to obey me. He's incredibly pleasant to work with and when things are going well he allows students to take responsibility for their own work. The whole process was fascinating from start to finish. It's an amazing art form and is the most relaxing activity I've ever taken part in, one of my favorite things I've ever done. If I ever wanted to sculpt a statue like this again, I'm confident that I now have the skills to do it on my own. However, Art Wheel was so pleasant that I'd love to return to pursue more ambitious projects, I'm sure there's much more I could learn. I look forward to working with Art Wheel again in the future and I give them my highest recommendation.

The location is only a hop skip and a jump from the beach in a relaxed tropical setting with excellent instruction from Jeff and mellow vibe, I made a really cool coffee mug, breakfast bowl and artistic serving dish that my friends admire. I'm looking forward to more fun creations like a teapot and matching cups in the near future.  If you're interested in learning and or expanding your ceramic talents then Art Wheel is the place to go.

My husband and I got a Groupon for a two hour introductory throw on the wheel class. It was very fun! He had experience in high school and it was my first time. The instructor was pretty easy going and allowed us to do our own thing but also offered help when asked. Would recommend overall, great date night idea!

Very fun!! Small, intimate group and very informative. A lot harder than I thought, but we had a great teacher who coached us every step of the way!

Came here for a special "Yoga and Pottery" shindig and had a blast! An hour of yoga on the balcony (11am = perfect timing, when the sun is still kinda low) and 2 hrs of playing with clay. Jeff was an outstanding teacher, tending to all 16 of us as we all had questions, with a smile and plenty of encouraging words. This would be a great place to work solo or with friends, as an amateur or a seasoned pro! Great for kids too!
