Would give this place 6 stars if I could! Had an AMAZING experience with the beginner's pottery class and walked home with 4 useable pieces that I will probably use for the rest of my life. Rebecca is an incredibly thorough and attentive teacher who answered all my questions and even helped me fix some difficult sculpting tasks while showing me how. The studio is clean and air conditioned, there are cute succulents growing all over, and the equipments seems to be brand new. Highly recommended!!

With little to no throwing experience; had an amazing time. Brilliant instruction from the very kind and patient instructor. It was so personal and chill. I was able to throw a few pieces. Aside from instruction; they helped with the trimming, and picking colors for the glaze. Overall, the vibe and ecosystem low stress, friendly, and welcoming. Looking forward to going a whole lot more as a member 🙂

While visiting San Diego, I had a great experience at Clayat with Ayat. She made creating my own cup fun and easy, guiding me through every step. I later received my finished piece and loved it—highly recommend for a creative outing!

If you’re ever in San Diego, or even if you live here, you have to check out Clayat School of Pottery. I went in not knowing what to expect, and honestly, it was one of the best experiences I’ve had in a long time. Ayat, was my instructor, she is incredible!!! She has this way of making you feel completely at ease while bringing out a creative side i didn’t even know i had.

The studio itself is such a calm, welcoming space. It’s like stepping out of the world and into an oasis where you can just relax, create and be yourself. Even the booking process was super simple, which made everything so stress-free from start to finish.

What I loved most is that it wasn’t just about making pottery, I enjoyed it for the whole experience. It felt like I was reconnecting with myself while trying something completely new and exciting. If you’re looking for something fun, creative, and different, I can’t recommend Clayat enough. It’s a place that leaves you inspired and wanting to come back for more!

The studio’s ambiance is incredibly inviting, warm, and cozy, making it the perfect space to unwind and get creative. The environment is spacious, bright, and well-organized, with plenty of natural light and a layout that feels both artistic and inspiring.

Ayat is an easy instructor to learn from, blending knowledge, patience, and professionalism seamlessly. She was not only encouraging and approachable but also made the class fun and engaging for everyone, regardless of skill level. The staff as a whole exuded positive energy, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and supported.

The studio offers high-quality materials and modern tools, making the hands-on experience even more enjoyable. It’s clear that great care has been taken to create a clean, comfortable, and therapeutic atmosphere. With its convenient location and nearby parking, it’s easy to see why this studio stands out.

Great clay-making learning experience for kids- old and young. Studio is clean, beautiful, bright and great for students. The owner and teacher Ayat is gentle, friendly and supportive of each student as she made sure each kiddo received individualized attention. Will most definitely be coming back.

A fantastic place where you get to really feel the joy of pottery. Ayat, the instructor, is amazing. She makes pottery fun and helps you find your creative side.

The studio is a calm spot in the middle of the city, a great place to relax and make art. Their online booking is easy too, making the whole experience smooth.

I loved my time at Clayat. It's not just about making pottery; it's about exploring your creativity. It's perfect for anyone looking to try something new and artistic. I definitely recommend visiting - it's a chance to see a different side of yourself.

I had the most amazing experience at Clayat Pottery Studio. I had the honor of sitting with the talented Ayat herself for a session. I not only learned so much but, her studio made my time there so serene while making my pieces. Such a clean and tasteful studio. If you’re looking for a girls activity, some peaceful time alone, or wanting to take on a new hobby, I recommend this studio a million times over.
