Hollowed Earth Pottery

Really cool spot. Came here for a private get together class. Our hostess was very kind and fun. She did so good at explaining everything and making it easy on us. The whole process was a breeze. Our items were ready to be picked up in the estimated time. I was so happy with my mug and it has held up very well!

Finally...I took the intro pottery class... spinning wheel and all! Located in the Hampton station warehouse.I signed up online and our group was given a tutorial demonstration by our instructor Ben...he was very patient . When it came time to making the pottery..we each had our own wheel, we were coached along the way and you are allowed to make two pieces. It is very relaxing... The class is 90 minutes , $50 for the intro course . Finally at the end ...you leave your pieces, they fire them up and even paint them for you ( you pick them up in two weeks)Give it a try.!

Great local business to support! Would love to take an adult class soon, but have seen their work at several markets around town. Went this visit for a kids birthday party. The girls had such fun and the teacher did a phenomenal job keeping different age groups caught up to each other. We got our birdhouses back from the kiln and they turned out wonderful.

Great outing to take the family, plus you have something to show for your efforts. Eli was a great teacher... very patient and helpful.

Was given pottery classes at Hollowed Earth as a gift. It was very entertaining and fun. Mark was a great teacher. He kept everything light and had a definite knack for making us feel comfortable and capable. There is so much to learn, but the classes were not overwhelming. At the end of the the beginner classes, I came away with some cute, not-half-bad pieces (if I do say so myself:), and a feeling of confidence that I could advance to the next level.

My fiancé and I took the intro class for my birthday a few weeks ago. It was his first time using the wheel and we both made 2 functional pieces. The instructor, Trina, did a very good demonstration and helped everyone with the process. I believe everyone in the class made at least 1 functional piece (you're given 2 attempts) The staff at the desk was friendly as well!I have a few critiques however... we did feel rushed towards the end so we felt our pieces didn't come out as well as they could've. I know there is a only a certain amount of time, but if the demo was shorter we maybe wouldn't have felt this way. Also, I believe we were only given 1 lb of clay. After making mistakes with the same lump, we both felt like we were left with not enough in the end to create our bowls/mugs, especially knowing they would shrink a lot in the firing process. We also would've maybe liked more freedom in the choice of glazes. For the price it would've been nice to have more than 4 choices (green, white, black, and sand- we both chose sand). All in all it was a fun experience, we just felt like a longer class/more freedom would have helped it reach the price point. I would do it again if it weren't for this reason.

I took a beginner's pottery class with Lydia, and it was a great experience. I had never used a wheel before so I was a little nervous, but she was patient and helpful and made it feel easy. I ended up with two nice pieces, and I hope to take another class in the future.

Ok we are obsessed with the Great Pottery Throwdown and have been wanting to try throwing ever since we saw the show. We were visiting from out of town and stumbled upon this place. Sarah was very accommodating and got us in a class the next morning. Ben and Angie guided us through the basics of throwing in such a fun, supportive, instructive way. They were not purely results-oriented, rather they walked us through every step of the process to help lay a good foundation for the principles of throwing. If we lived in town, we would be signing up for more classes here, without a doubt. Thank you Ben and Angie for such a fun, instructive time!!

Just had the intro class. Ben was great!!! Very helpful and fun. Everyone in the class had fun and ended up with fun pieces. Would highly recommend this studio! Can't wait to get my finished pieces!
