Springfield Pottery

Really enjoying the class on wheel throwing! Nathan is a good teacher.

Loved my experience at Springfield Pottery. Not only do they give very affordable classes, you can buy shop time to come here after you've had the classes. Nathan is a great teacher, and all in all this was a fabulous experience. If I were going to commission a piece of pottery to be made, I would have them do it. They also have several very nice pieces for sale.

I love supporting local business and especially local artists but I have lost count how many times I've tried to go into this place. There have been several pieces that I have seen in the window that I wanted to look at at but everytime I try/have tried to go in, they are closed. The hours posted on here and their Facebook page don't appear to be accurate considering I've driven by several times during their "open hours" and they have been closed.
It's extremely confusing, frustrating and honestly disappointing when you have to play hit or miss with a business.
If it's special holiday hours, special hours because of classes, or completely different hours all together, that's fine, but the business needs to make those exceptions/changes known and made clear.
Hopefully this issue gets rectified so that more people can support local businesses and artists.

I called on 4 different occasions trying to get in touch with them and they either have no voice mail if it’s outside of business hours or they just won’t return calls when I did call during opening hours. As a last resort I have also used their website to send in a form asking a question. No answer with that either. I’ve never actually been inside their business but after experiencing such unprofessional behavior, I’m not interested to.

I have never had a better pottery experience. Nathan and his team spend one on one time with every student. I enjoyed my first session so much I took 2 more sessions. The price of the sessions is more than reasonable. The studio provides you everything you need and teaches you from the ground up. And you're allowed to make and keep as many pieces as you'd like. You can also pay a small fee to come in on the weekends to keep working on your pieces. I was able to make over 7 bowls and 5-6 plates in two sessions. Along with learning wheel they taught hand building too. I have move out of state since and cannot find anything the remotely compares the greatness of Springfield Pottery and Nathan. Wonderful, peaceful, creative and working with highly skilled professionals. I 100% recommend.
