"What started as a dedicated teaching studio quickly became one of the only galleries showing the works of Chicago's talented ceramicists. Today, at its current home at 2255 W Grand Ave, it continues as a studio full of talent willing to pass on the art of ceramics to all who are willing to learn. Stop by to view what is on display, sign up for a intensive class or snag a studio membership." - The Post Family

neat spot. a good bang for your buck. but you kind of get what you pay for. the glazes are cheap student grade and the instructors treat you like a little kid, i put things on the harsh side but you get the jist.

Great studio space, great owner, great teachers. I've never touched clay in my life, so it was love at first touch on my first day of class. Besides my excitement with the whole process, Creative Claythings is a perfect place to learn. We started the beginner class with 3 classes of hand building, followed by a class of glazing; then two classes on wheel throwing, a class on trimming, finishing with another glazing. All in all 8 weeks of fun classes with very experienced teachers in a spacious studio. I am definitely continuing with Intermediate and then Advanced classes (4 weeks each at $70), and then getting a studio membership. Oh yeah, unlike other studios, once you're a member, you get a key to the studio, so if you feel like throwing at 3 am - you're welcome to do it.

Creative Claythings is a great studio for those who are interested in working with clay and ceramics but have little to no experience with that medium. I have been taking classes here on and off for the last few months and just love the very relaxed vibe of the studio; it is a great way for me to take my mind off of things and just focus on creating something. My first class was with teacher Sammie, who teaches beginner's handbuilding. She is so incredibly encouraging to her students; while my first few pieces were less than gorgeous, I felt compelled to keep going because of that encouragement and support. If you're looking for a new creative outlet to explore, I highly recommend signing up for a class.

Love this place! Instructors are amazing, and the price is very reasonable. Other people in the class are very friendly. They allow students to makeup missed classes on Saturday mornings, which is great. This was my first time working with clay but it won't be my last!

Amazing teachers, a great space, and just fun to be in. I would recommend anyone go here to learn about pottery. Everyone was very friendly and I have gone from the last time I did pottery was in grade school, to pulling a pot on a wheel. It has been such an enjoyable experience. I think they could easily raise their price $50 and it would still be incredibly affordable for an eight week course.

Took a pottery class here a few years ago when I lived in the city, since I moved to the suburbs I've been dreaming of going back and taking another class. The people were spectacular - it was fun and affordable.

Nice place and cheap compared to other studios. Staff were very instructive and try to make sure you get something out of each class. They have a weird way of booking the class, which is a bummer (no email for confirmation, all the classes are booked but you don’t know until when, etc) but for the money you pay and the service they offer. It is worth it.
