2- Hour Pottery Workshop and Studio Tour in Ojai

Overview

Ojai has a 100-year history of ceramics. Our studio, located a mile from the city center, is surrounded by nature, in the midst of a fruit orchard.

We are a working studio for many of the great artists in the Ojai Valley. Visitors may watch potters work, and may "try their hand" at a range of techniques. After making their pottery, they may may pay a small fee for our staff to trim, glaze and high-fire the work. This "finishing" work takes about 3 weeks. Visitors may also come back to glaze their OWN work. There is no charge for this. AND we will even ship your pieces anywhere in the country...

The staff was incredibly helpful in every way. Aaron etc. offered exactly the level of help you requested as you learned on the wheel, which for me was substantial and appreciated. We were able to make a couple of pieces each, that the shop will fire and glaze for us because we’re from out of town and are unable to return to finish the process. Robin, the owner, is a gem, who gave us an informative tour, including history of the facility.

We had a wonderful afternoon learning how to throw pots. Highly recommend! Our instructor was very patient and helped when we asked for assistance. Our pottery was shipped to my home about 3 weeks later What a great experience!

My mother has terminal messtastic breast cancer, throughout her bones etc. Was looking for things to do. Since she using a wheelchair, I thought this might be something new she could enjoy on our trip to Solvang. Later realized the place isn’t ADA compliant-not wheelchair accessible and she probably wouldn’t be able to do it. When I realized this, it was the night before (bought it on line late the night before seeing the lack of accessibility (not even 24 hours later) they were closed. Called first thing in the morning. Spoke to a nice woman who said the office to do refunds didn’t open until 10 and made is sound like I would be refunded. I apologized 2x taking responsibility for my part in this (ordering late, getting off work after they closed thereby missing the “cancellation window-in part because I bought the tickets late at night, the night before. Anyway, she voiced understanding etc and said I would get an email when the office opened and processed my request she submitted. Instead got not ONE but TWO “sorry denied your request” emails. I responded to the first explaining my part in this, apologizing again and said I didn’t originally see the very bottom of the web page saying no wheel chair accessibility, not for people with this limitation or that one etc. That’s when I got the second email that says they reviewed everything and “refund denied.” So, I figured I had to eat the $130. Ok with it because it was my fault I ordered late at night, worked the whole next day and not u til home, excitedly reviewing location, hours etc so we could leave in the morning, that I realized the problem. Why I am leaving this negative review however is because i didn’t just blow off the event and choose not to go or forget or whatever. There page said “wheel chair” inaccessible. That’s a then problem. Yes, I didn’t see it. That’s important info. Maybe that should be a disclaimer before payment is accepted??
