Hands in Clay L.A. is exceptional. Donna and Richard have thought of everything and it really shows through in their instruction and their studio,  as well as their class pass offerings. I love that they offer a flexi class pass.

Their instruction is very thorough and easy to follow. They also provided helpful tips and tricks that made all the difference. Their studio is impeccable. Everything is so organized and clean. They've made great use of the space and have all the tools you could possibly need.

I have taken pottery classes at other studios but Hands in clay L.A. is the stand out winner for me. After one class with them I feel accomplished and capable of producing pieces that I can be proud of.

I had never made something with my own hands that was artistic and practical, until I went to Hands in Clay. For those that are not confident in making something like this, this is the place to start. Richard and Donna live the lives of artists, dedicating themselves to their passions, and now they have a space to share them.

The process is meditative and Richard and Donna are pros and work with all experience levels. A single class can be transformative. This would be a great activity for a group to bond over as well.

Hands In Clay L.A. is hands down the best clay studio I’ve ever been a member of. Richard and Donna do an impeccable job of keeping the space clean and organized, which is quite the endeavor for a clay studio! They have an enormous selection of clay bodies, glazes, and tools to choose from while working. This variety provides students with a great opportunity to learn more about different clay bodies, glazes, etc. and how to work with different tools in both the hand-building room and on the wheel. The studio’s classes and membership option are small enough to receive plenty of specialized, 1-1 attention from teachers yet big enough to connect with and learn from other artists/class pass students/studio members.

Finally, Richard and Donna are truly passionate, dedicated, articulate clay educators. Their extensive experience with clay and unique gift for teaching is unparalleled. I cannot recommend this studio enough!

We visited Hands in Clay with some video crew and two other people included myself were given a private course at Hands in Clay LA. Donna was so amazing and so accommodating, especially with our video crew. The class itself was so fun and an amazing bonding experience for my friends and I. Highly recommend!
