Green & Bisque Clayhouse - Pasadena, California

Having taken several classes, I can say that this is one of the best places in Los Angeles to learn the craft of pottery.

The staff, the members, and fellow students have all been nothing but kind, helpful, and an invaluable resource to me in my learning journey.

This is a truly special place, and I am so grateful to be a part of it.

Fantastic facility for the ceramic artist to the beginner! All levels create this artistic, friendly community. Brand new 10^ kilns > throwing and hand-building classes for every level (Tue–Sat open studio hours help to deepen your practice) > great clay and glaze palette > and a knowledgable staff that's ready to answer questions. Firings are on a schedule and studio is clean! Large retail store with samples you can touch. A new ceramic culture is brewing here!

I’ve completed two sessions of classes at G&B and I’m looking forward to my third! The teachers, studio staff, and members here are all so welcoming and kind. Getting into a new hobby or craft can be daunting, but this studio is so well laid out and ran that everything just makes sense. Everybody I’ve had the chance to chat with at the studio has been so encouraging and inspiring, and the community of members seems quite tight knit, so I can see why there’s a wait list to join. Whether you’re brand new to pottery or a professional, I think this studio will have everything you need and more 🙂

Beautiful and super clean space. Tons of artists selling their wares. Great shopping.

I took a session last year and although I enjoyed the people and it was an extremely nice place. I didn't feel like I learned anything. The majority of people in the class had done a session several times and didn't need instruction. My guess would be that paying for a session is cheaper than a membership but I think it really holds the class back from being an actual class and also makes it difficult to even grab a spot. I also took classes at another studio back east, and I honestly did not enjoy the clay GB provided to the students. It was extremely gritty and coarse. Pretty pricey for the quality of clay and the fact that you have to buy your own set of tools which isn't included in the class. I haven't bothered with classes since because I found it discouraging.

It is extremely unfortunate that I have to write a bad review for this business. I was honestly extremely excited to participate in a few clay classes with my daughter. I research many places including many 5mins from my home. However, they seem the best fit for us.
I was extremely disappointed to find out that I was wrong and that all they care about is the money. There is no human empathy or kindness.
I paid $600 for a series of five one hour classes with my teenage daughter. They were very quick to sell me a good plan and how this would be a good experience for both of us. I was never given a contract or explained any regulations. I was only explained the hours and the fact that we can stay for as long as we need to after our class to complete our clay pieces. We attended two classes but unfortunately I was involved in a near death vehicle accident that left me extremely fearful of driving. We live 45mins away from their studio which made it difficult for us to return. Since, I was never informed about any of their policies or have a contract to go by, I was not aware that I must finish my series within 90days. I called to try to resume our paid package and complete the last 3 classes left. However, I was told I should have finished them within 90 days from purchase. It is disheartening to find out that not only I ended up getting ripped off but that they lack empathy and human kindness and understanding. After having to hear a whole speech about how I should have called sooner I felt the place was not right for us and the experience I was hoping for.
Obviously, they took my money, $600 for 2 classes and gave me a talk about what I should have done. Disappointing, upsetting and a total rip off.

I love this ceramic studio! I learned everything I know about pottery there. The classes are incredible with extremely knowledgeable teachers. I'm a member now, which offers great freedom of access. The place is very well maintained, and everyone is respectful of each other. The best part, though, is its inspiring community. It's a pleasure to be around such great artists.
