"Private lesson yesterday was fabulous."
I just have to say, my son's private lesson yesterday was fabulous. He's 21, non-verbal, and autistic. I've been wanting to try new things with him, and I'm so glad we found Good Dirt. Thank you for providing opportunities for families like ours "to grow".
"For a first timer it was perfect."
Amazing fun. The staff are fun, knowledgeable, engaging. They make what is an already great experience into something genuinely memorable. This was our first trip here and it definitely won’t be our last. The studio is nice and light, for a first timer it was perfect.
"I highly recommend signing up!"
Such a fun, awesome and rare experience!! My 17 year old granddaughter and I did a "date night" for her birthday and we both loved it!! Looking forward to picking up our pieces soon 🙌. Yesenia, our instructor was absolutely THE BEST!!! So friendly, patient, informative and helpful. I highly recommend signing up. 👍👍 Come ready to get dirty. 😁
"We absolutely loved it!"
Booked a try night for my husband & I and we absolutely loved it! Jordan did a great job teaching the class and was such a joy to work with - as were the other employees! 10/10 recommend!
"I would give 10 stars if I could."
Excellent experience, I would give 10 stars if I could. We had Diego as an instructor, he is very patient and easy going. I highly recommend this place!
"Challenging, yet satisfying."
Such a great experience! I went to a Try Night and had a lot of fun. It was challenging yet satisfying seeing your piece find shape in real time. I would totally recommend as a solo experience or as a group. I can't wait to pick up my pieces in a few weeks!
"Already planning to go back."
So much fun! My husband and I went for a try night, and we had such a blast. Diego was our instructor and he was super cool and helpful! Already planning to go back!
"Great place for art & fun."
Great place for art and fun! Very nice owners! They will always treat you right.
"The studio is adorable."
I took my mom to a Try Night as a Mother's Day gift and we had SO much fun! First off - the studio is adorable. On top of that, the employees are so friendly and create such an enjoyable environment... even if you've never touched clay before! Great memories made and 10/10 experience!
"My son is already begging to attend the next camp."
My nine-year-old son recently took a winter camp class at this studio. It was an amazing experience. He made items that were just so cool and had a blast doing it. The instructor is so kind and was great with the kids. My son is already begging to attend the next camp. The facility was extremely clean and the decor was very cute.
