Made by Me: what do users think?
Jessica P: This place is so much fun and the owners are so nice. They also have fun themed events and a plethora of options to paint. Really good date night choice.
Teagan Anderson: I’ve been coming here for over a decade, painting items several times a year. The new ownership has marked a huge difference in quality.My item was delivered to me damaged and they suggest I “fill in the damaged areas”. Doing that would leave me with a giant blob and not the item I took the time to draw. I’ve never had this issue with pieces before and I do the exact same technic on all my pieces. I also painted 2 pieces during this visit, exactly the same way/style, and the second piece wasn’t damaged. They offered no refund, or discount, and said it was painted error.Beyond paying for an item that is trash, the business does not maintain open hours as posted on their door or online. I’ve driven over 2 times to pick up my pieces during their posted business hours, but they were not open.Update: the response below says I was offered to repaint for free. I was not offered a new piece to paint, I was told I could paint over my existing piece. Huge difference.
Lee Silverman: The staff was great and very patient with our group of eight, the kids had fun and the adults had a chance to do something fun and messy.
i s h a n i: I love cooking
Drew Webster: I came here with my nieces (9 and 14) and they had a fantastic time painting pottery together. The studio is clean and well-organized, the staff is friendly, and there's a nice selection of pottery to paint. Great weekend activity - highly recommended!
Libby K: I brought my two kids by yesterday afternoon and we just loved it. The salesperson was so kind and patient with us, and we all produced some beautiful art! The atmosphere is calm and relaxing. Great spot for some impromptu self care, both for me and the kids!
Chloe N: Complimented my weird art!I painted clowns on a bowl and the sales clerk was such a sweetheart. She said that I was able to make clowns cute. Had such a blast with my friend here. Definitely a great place to go by yourself or with a loved one.
Brian Schick: A wonderful way to spend an afternoon! Friendly atmosphere, supportive staff helps you along the way regardless of your experience level. It was my first time doing ceramics painting since elementary school, and brought back wonderful memories ☺️. Many paint colors, brushes and sponges to choose from for your heart’s delight.
Samuel Stock: Excellent experience and affordable. Very friendly staff and COVID friendly atmosphere. Call or use their Facebook page to make a 90 minute reservation.
Mario Russo: Just a fun place to relax and take home some colorful ceramics. Lots of options to choose from. Colorful, cheery place with friendly staff. No covid concerns for me: well spaced, tall ceilings, and staff get all paints you choose for you.
Valerie Rose Hirschberg: This place is an okay paint your own pottery studio. I’ve gone twice and I’ve noticed two main things I dislike:1) they charge you $4 per half hour per person of paint time. This is just weird and makes the cost go way up. I go pottery painting often, and have never seen a charge like this elsewhere.2) they are just okay at glazing. One of my bowls had a pool of clear glaze on the bottom, and another plate I made had clearly been knocked into another item as it had black paint marks on it. Just kind of disappointed in the glazing quality, I hope they can do better in the future.
Maura W: Love this place! I've come here to paint three times now and the staff is always very helpful. There's a great selection of items to choose from and you can stay for as long as you like (they charge for the item and then $4 for every half hour you paint, but I've found they round down). Makes an amazing gift for a friend or a fun date night, but remember someone needs to come back to pick up the pottery after it's glazed!
Christina Curley: I took my little sister here and had a great day! We went on a week day and it was just us. Very cozy place. We’ll be back!!
Joe: Great!
Alabama Rutherford: Pretty cute store. I had the chance to bring my nephews and do some painting. They were absolutely amazed and they really loved it . Great place to check out.
Alane Schmelkin: Lovely place for all ages
Jay Kim: 처음으로 가봤는데 생각보다 좋았어요
Christopher Chang: Nice place to paint some pottery. Takes a few days for them to put in the oven and glaze it. They charge hourly for how long you stay there and for the piece of pottery you choose. The price was reasonable.
Jim Haney: Great place. Lovely people. Fun activity. Very good support for making your project the best it can be.
Alicia Nakashian: Helpful and friendly staff & a great atmosphere
elvira elvira: My kids had a really good time here!

Mudflat Gallery: what do users think?
Niloofar Ojani: I discovered this store while engaging in psychogeography around the neighborhood. The interior is very well designed; there are many options for ceramics and a couple of other for dolls, oven mitts, jewelry, etc. The prices are above average (some items are more reasonable that others.) I had the chance of conversing with the owners, and learning a thing or two about the city. I felt very welcome there. Even if you're not planning on shopping, check this place out :)
Joseph Chow: They sell artwork and gifts in stores. No coupon required to purchase anything. Staff was excellent and honest.
Bill Gillen: Great place for gifts! Stop by when you're in porter square!
Cleo Cleo: Very good
Erica DeLano: Great items, a bit outside my price range for a low key gift.
Firstglenn Lastbutler: Alright
sean guerin: great to have in the neighborhood
J T: Nice shop with handmade goods. I really liked the ceramics. Check out the bowl I bought, made by Leah Guerin,
Bryan McCullough: Mostly garbage, overpriced inventory with no turnover, made by hobbyists.
Danforth N: Great place for beautiful and unique local gifts

Muckykids Art Studio: what do users think?
Celeste Peterson: My two daughters have been going to Mucky Kids for years and we can't say enough good things about it! Liz, the director, is outstanding and so wonderful with the kids. My girls have had a blast every time they've gone to the classes, and summer camps. They also love the drop-in hours. I've been impressed with the imaginative projects and how well Liz and her staff engage all the kids in the creative process!
Megan Dunnigan: Muckykids is truly one of the most spectacular places to bring you child(ren). Not only is it a space that allows children to explore art, but it allows them to do it at their own pace and comfort level. Liz (the owner) and her staff are AMAZING. At the very least, give the place a try during "drop in" hours. I'm sure you'll find it as wonderful as I do and perhaps enroll your child in a class or celebrate a birthday there! (I have done all of the above!)
Chris Karl: Creative artist at work :-). Various activities for kids.
Kristen Dority: We love this place! My kids can try different medium of art in the span of an hour (impossible at home and not as cost effective), and paint till their hearts content. I love that I can say goodbye to the lovely ladies there and not worry about the clean up. We have been going to Mucky Kids for years and it doesn't feel boring because they switch activities weekly. Both my girl and boy love it here.

Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard: what do users think?
Deighton Abrams: Cleanest, nicest ceramics studio in Boston if not the US.
Laila C: Unfortunately, despite applying several times & eagerly hoping to be selected for a ceramics scholarship I was passed over again (for probably the 6th time.) It seems as though Harvard does NOT cater to low-income local parents who grew up in the area & would like to express themselves artistically & try something new. They select the cookie-cutter variety of transplants here for school. Very disappointing that an institution that literally uprooted an entire community of low-income locals offers nothing to them anymore. Whoever is selecting recipients should probably be required to think outside of the box. I won't apply anymore but I'm not the only local who has been trying for years to only be turned down. SAD!!
Wilma Tosa: The Staff are Awesome & Amazing, this is a Great place to show your talent & take classes to better yourself.
Danillo Leite: Haven't come for classes, but did come for a ceramics show. If the students are any indication, the production was amazing. Haven't come for classes, but did come for a ceramics show. If the students are any indication, the production was amazing.

Don M: Beautiful, first class facility
josh bilchik: One of the best ceramics studios in the country
Chans View bomh1029: Beautiful art work! Would love to attend a class.
Nick Wilson: Great holiday gifts!
Robert Noack: Annual holiday sale is always great. Lots of cool pieces for nice prices. Always love checking it out.
megumi naitoh: great program and studio, gallery space run by a group of amazing people!
Paul: This place is not only a ceramics center, but a venue for community events (like free yoga and farmer's markets) that are paid for on Harvard's dime, as a way of bribing the Allston community into liking them.
april franklin: A great community of artists! Beautiful facilities!!!
Kit Parker: One of the Hidden jewels of Harvard. Fantastic staff and facility

Indigo Fire Belmont: what do users think?
Kathleen Murphy: Our instructor Joanna (spelling??) was super kind and helpful with demonstrating and answering questions throughout. The wait time to get into a workshop here was less than all the other ones I looked through which I appreciate. It was $85 per person, but I can appreciate that most pottery classes are around that cost because of the clay, kiln, glaze, clay tools, space, etc. Super fun, I'd definitely go back, such a relaxing space too.
Juliana Piazza: This place is the best! All the instructors are awesome. Indigo fire is our favorite date spot!
Brian McGrane: I attended the 2 hour Saturday morning workshop and was reintroduced to creating pottery after not having thrown a pot in many years. Robert did a great job of teaching the class and I created a small bowl as my first project. I look forward to attending more workshops in the future and improving my skills.
Bryanna Tobin: Sunday Morning Workshop - We had an amazing experience celebrating my partner's birthday. The instructor was helpful but not overbearing and it was a great value for being able to keep two pieces at the end of the workshop, which will be glazed, fired, and available for pick up one month after the class time. We will definitely be back! Parking was also very easy.
Wil Hall: Indigo Fire is the best pottery studio in the area of the ones I've tried. They really do have a focus on teaching. Their workshops and private lessons are affordable and their teachers are so welcoming and helpful to all skill levels.I've been to both the Belmont and Watertown locations multiple times. The Belmont location has been around longer and is a bit more mature, smaller, and quaint. The Watertown location is a larger and newer facility but tends to be a bit more booked up.I highly recommend workshops/lessons with Robert in Belmont and Josephine in Watertown - they're both amazing artists and teachers!
Ilyse Robbins: I gave my husband the Early Morning Wheel workshop as a gift and we both loved it. Jessie was excellent. Wished it was longer and might even want a more private lesson. We want to go back for more!
Lindsay Cole: Just an amazing place in every aspect! Went for an early-bird beginner workshop and had so much fun trying a new hobby in such a kind, welcoming and informative environment. Robert was a great instructor and I'm looking forward to taking more classes here in the future!
lsc: Wonderful studio and people. The studio has been a saving grace for me throughout the pandemic. I’ve worked with 3 teachers and over a year of sessions with no plans to stop! All have been great.
Michelle C: I had a fun time at their workshop. I appreciate that they glaze the pieces for us in the one-time classes. There’s a ton of demand, so it can be hard to get in their classes and workshops.
Hassan Chehab: Great experience taking a morning class there! I enjoyed it a lot. The staff was really good at teaching you and letting you learn by doing.
Gavin Whitelaw: Our daughter loved the teens class and brought home some wonderful work. She cannot wait to sign up for another session.
Salvatore Alioto: Sara has been a wonderful teacher for the Saturday morning class. All the staff have been friendly and helpful, its a great little studio!
Erin Doran: Monday night classes with Ned have been the-bomb-dot-com. I have been in that class for over a year now and love the community and studio as much as my family loves getting progressively better pottery for every holiday/birthday/occasion. Always there with infinite pottery wisdom, Ned is a patient teacher both with pottery and my bad jokes. If you are looking for a place to learn pottery and join a community, I would highly recommend trying your darnedest to get a spot in a semester class. You won’t regret it!
mindy carson: I took a Sunday morning class with my husband and daughter and had a fantastic experience. It was a great introduction to pottery making. Zelda was a patient and encouraging teacher and we all got to make two pieces each. I can’t wait to pick them up in their completed state in about a month.
Leslie Gil: This place is awesome! My dad and I took the Sunday morning wheel workshop and it was wonderful. We have very little pottery experience, but we each made two beautiful pieces that will be glazed and fired for us to pick up in a month. Our teacher, Ned, was very knowledgeable and friendly, he provided a lot of hands-on individual support. If I lived closer, I would absolutely take more classes!
Lara Vujovic: Had a great time at a class here. Super friendly instructor and the overall vibe was relaxed and fun. Highly recommend!
lia franco luchianciuc: Such an amazing experience! I had my expectations very high and Indigo went beyond all of them. Can’t wait for next class
Kathy Daniels: Amazing space. I took a class here this past week with a group of four and we had a wonderful instructor (Zelda!) and it was so much fun. I've already signed up for another class and cannot wait!
Elizabeth Hart: Gorgeous pottery studio and great staff. I attended a sip and spin with a few girlfriends and had a great time learning the basics and Cat the instructor was very fun and knowlegable. It was nice to try a new activity and seems like it would be a great place for a date as well. Definitely recommend the sip and spin class for a fun night out!
Monica Young: My husband and I did a pottery class with Robert for my birthday. It was our first time (or first time in a long time) throwing pottery, and we had such a wonderful time! Robert is clearly a master at this but at the same time was so patient with us and helped us with all the newbie mistakes we made. We came away with three pieces each that we will get to pick up in a month, after they go through the trimming/glazing/firing process (several beautiful options available). I highly recommend this class as a birthday gift!
Cynthia Kohn: This is a wonderful pottery studio. I first had a birthday event here a few years back. Myself and my teenage daughter are currently taking a second pottery class with Sarah who has been a great teacher. She is patient and explains throwing and glazing techniques very well. She also does demonstrations which are most helpful. We have both are really enjoying the class.
