We absolutely love Mana Pottery! This was actually our second or third time coming, and every time we go, I’m reminded why we keep coming back. There’s something so fun about getting to sit down, choose your own piece, and create something that is completely unique to you. This visit was especially meaningful because I painted a plate for our wedding that says “The Whitmoyers — 9.19.26.” 🤍 It’s not perfect, the lines aren’t all even and it very clearly looks hand-painted, but that’s exactly what makes it so special to me. I made it myself for such an important moment in our lives, and now we have something completely one-of-a-kind that we can display in our home and keep forever. I was also so impressed with how quickly they fired our pottery and had everything ready for us! I love that every time we come here, we leave with more than just a piece of pottery, we leave with something we created ourselves and a memory attached to it. I already know this wedding plate is going to be one of those little things I treasure for years. 🤍💍 We will absolutely be back again!

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🫶🏽

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!
