Had a great time with the entire family. The instruction was great and it was super cool being able to work in the studio amongst the artists for a couple hours. We were all super thrilled with our finished pieces, even if it meant destroying them at the end!

Had a super fun experience at Paseo!!! We got to learn the basics about throwing pottery on a wheel, and it inspired both of us to take a series of classes once we got back home to Colorado! Thank you Paseo--and Aio for the fun class!!
