Wow! What a beautiful experience. I booked Pinch Studio for a private session with my friends that are expecting soon! I wanted to treat them to a unique and memorable experience and our time with Jiwon was just that and more! Our instructor, Jiwon was such a pleasure to learn from. All of us, having varying experiences with clay, enjoyed being able to learn the basics while still having the freedom to experiment. It was just us in a morning session, but the class itself left us looking forward to group classes or a studio membership. 10/10 would recommend.

Great studio with even better owners and staff! My partner and I did the Friday date night class and had an amazing experience! They do a great job of helping every step of the way (if you need it). My only wish is that we had more time during our session for more fun! We will definitely be back!

We love Pinch! 🤍 I booked a private class for my boyfriend’s birthday and it was so much fun. Our instructor and her assistant were extremely helpful in giving us a brief introduction to pottery and the throwing wheel. My boyfriend has some experience in pottery so he absolutely killed it, I can’t say the same for myself haha. Nonetheless our instructor consistently insured us to not shoot for perfection as getting familiar with the clay and wheel is simply meant to be fun and an introduction to pottery. She was completely right. Many slightly messy (but fun) mistakes happened, as she predicted, but you just keep on going! Once we cleaned up she gave us information about what our pottery will go through the next couple weeks in regards to cleaning up the pottery, glazing and firing it. We got to choose our colors for the pottery we chose to keep and we were off! A few things I would like to add is that the website and emailed information about your private or communal class is extremely informative, most if not all of your questions can be answered on the FAQ section on their website or in your email when booking. The ladies were also very nice, they even recommended a breakfast spot to go to after which is now our go to spot when we’re near downtown. Overall we will be back and loved our experience with Pinch Pottery Studio. My birthday boy loved it so much he want’s to pick up pottery again and is even looking for a tabletop throwing wheel to start practicing again. Thank you ladies at Pinch for such a memorable time and helping us create little pieces we will remember forever. (My boyfriend made the pink little dish that now houses my cute hair clips 🤍)

My boyfriend Robert and I had such a fun and memorable experience at Pinch Pottery Studio! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how cute and clean the space was. Our instructor, Jiwon, was absolutely wonderful, so knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely sweet. She made the whole process feel easy and enjoyable, even for beginners like us. It was the perfect date activity, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a creative and relaxing experience! ❤️

We went here for the Friday night couples BYOB pottery class. The class was great, and the instructor was very patient with all of us 1st time beginners. So much fun, then we went to dinner in the Gaslamp afterward. Perfect date night! Our items were ready for pickup up at the studio about 6 weeks later. They can ship to you if you can't pick up. We're already planning our next visit!
