Emily and Raz were amazing! We joined the “one-day try it” class and we learned a lot! It was very fun. I liked that it was a smaller class, we were able to fully learn the process. Emily & Raz were very patient and encouraging. Love this place, we are planning to come back in 3-4 weeks to paint our craft. I highly recommend this place🫶🏽Posted on Google![]()

My friend and I took the 1-day pottery workshop at Manna Pottery and had the best experience! Rezgar was an incredible instructor - so patient, hands-on, and genuinely passionate about his craft. His enthusiasm was infectious throughout the entire group, and he kept us laughing with his great sense of humor. He was always there to help when we got stuck, while still giving us the chance to learn and experiment on our own. Everyone was so engaged that the class even ran over so we could keep practicing on our three pieces, which says a lot about how much fun we were having! Truly a fantastic class and an even better instructor. I can absolutely see why Rezgar loves what he does, and I can’t wait to come back to pick up our pieces and hopefully take another class! Highly recommend Manna Pottery!Posted on Google![]()

My friend and I booked the Try Me One-Day Pottery Workshop for Two on 8/1. At $97 per person, I thought it was a great experience and well worth the cost. I wasn’t sure what to expect since it was my first time trying pottery, but Rezgar made the entire class welcoming, fun, and easy to follow. The class actually started about 20 minutes later than scheduled because Rezgar patiently waited for everyone in our group of five to arrive so no one would miss the initial instructions. While another participant and I waited, we had the chance to talk with him, and he was incredibly personable, down-to-earth, and genuinely easy to chat with. Once the class began, Rezgar did an excellent job explaining the different types of clay and walked us through every step of the pottery-making process in clear, thorough detail. One thing that really stuck with me was how he emphasized connecting your body and mind while shaping the clay—it made the experience feel relaxing and intentional rather than intimidating. I also really appreciated how accommodating he was. He generously let me record his demonstrations and even helped me set up my iPhone on a tripod so I could capture the process from start to finish. Throughout the workshop, he constantly rotated around the room, giving each participant individual guidance and making sure everyone was successful. Each participant created three pottery pieces during the workshop. The class includes two finished pieces to keep at no additional cost, or you can choose to keep all three pieces for an extra $10, which I thought was a really fair option. Before we left, Rezgar clearly explained the next steps, what to expect during the firing and glazing process, and how cleanup worked. Overall, I had an amazing first pottery experience and would absolutely return to Manna Pottery for another class. If you’ve ever been curious about trying pottery, I’d definitely recommend booking a workshop here—you’ll learn a lot, have fun, and leave with a new appreciation for the craft.Posted on Google![]()
