My girlfriend and I had a great experience painting pottery! Lots of choices for what to make and good variety of paints! We were unsure about the price of the pottery but it turned out to be reasonable at about $30 for two moderately detailed pieces. The music and atmosphere was calming and the staff was helpful. Great value and best wishes to the staff for future success!

the 2.5 hour intro workshop was amazing and flew by! Rez is an awesome teacher; he is very passionate and explains/demonstrates really well, and he effectively shares his love for pottery with his students :-) I will be back for more workshops!

I was inspired by instagram to make a plate for my future child’s birthday and Manna Pottery was the perfect place to do it! They had a lot of options for pottery and paints to pick from. It was an easy process from start to finish. Will definitely be going back for any personal pottery needs!

The wheel-throwing pottery class was amazing! Mr. Regzar Mamandi is an exceptional teacher—patient, attentive, encouraging, and genuinely courteous. He is a true artist with deep knowledge of his craft and its history. His pieces are beautiful and truly one of a kind. Highly recommend checking it out!
