Hintonburg Pottery

A beautiful space, well set up for responsibly distanced teaching during Covid, and with quality equipment and materials. Where the experience lost value for me was the timing of the course which felt very rushed (just 30 minutes more would have been so appreciated), the time it took for our pottery to be glazed (over a month), as well as one of our pots being glazed incorrectly. They kindly gave us another lovely bowl to apologize but it was still unfortunate to not receive the requested glaze. I do not know the inner workings of the studio but I would either suggest adjusting the cost to add 30 minutes, or perhaps ensure the Instructors are being paid for a ''time buffer''. I felt rushed out the door and then like our pots were forgotten about.

I feel bad writing a poor review but I feel that it is important to be honest so that this studio can make some improvements. My sisters and I bought a class for my moms birthday before the lockdown and we were disappointed in the class and the instructors attitude. She rushed the class and wasn’t friendly at all. She had also forgot to set up a station for one of us so I was sitting outside of the circle. This would have been fine if she wasn’t so rude about it. I also thought it was strange how we could only pick one of our pieces to put in the kiln. I have taken other pottery classes where we got at least 2 to take home. Pretty disappointing experience.

Amazing little pottery store! The attention to detail and craftsmanship of the pieces are beautiful. The staff was incredible, customer service was excellent. We commissioned a few unique pieces and we are THRILLED with the results! We ordered off of the website and did curbside pick up. Amazing experience over all! I will definitely be coming back for more things!!!!

Attended a wheel pottery class. Had lots of fun and covid precautions were taken seriously. Was able to fire one bowl and came back a few weeks later to pick up. Would definitely do this again

A neighbourhood gem. Passionate and knowledgeable teachers, fantastic classes that offer a creative variety of techniques and styles, a great selection of glazes, a beautiful and well-organized space, plus gorgeous pottery. One of my favourite places in Hintonburg.
