WHAT STUDENTS SAY ABOUT OUR POTTERY CLASSES…

I can't say enough good things about Little Sparrow Ceramics. Margaret and Jonah are incredibly talented ceramic artists; they share their knowledge and experience generously. The studio is beautiful, the vibe is inspiring and extremely pleasant. I have had so much fun learning how to build ceramic sculptures with their guidance and encouragement!

I’m torn between telling the world about this incredible place and keeping it all to myself! But I’ll do the right thing and put the word out on this gem of a pottery studio. I began taking one on one wheel lessons with Jonah. I have experience from college but it was a great refresher and he’s a true expert.
Flash forward a year and Little Sparrows open studios is my weekly refuge. It has everything I would want to produce my colorful, quirky cups and mugs with cat decor and occasionally the more traditional piece. I share the time and space with an eclectic and kind group of artists and we all draw inspiration from each other. And Margaret is both an incredibly talented artists and a fun and approachable person happy to share her knowledge. So thrilled I found this place!

I love my time in this bright studio packed with tools, glazes, help and camaraderie! Time goes by too fast! I can’t wait to go back each week. There is every level of talent and individuality is celebrated.

I had no ceramics experience before taking classes at Little Sparrow and I had a great time and created some really beautiful mugs, bowls and other creations over the course of 6 classes with guidance from Peggy and Jonah. I really appreciated the freedom to experiment and play while having guidance available on request. I highly recommend this studio!

Little Sparrow is a jewel, I am so glad I found the studio. It is a beautiful, light-filled space with everything available to students. I have been to open studio, Jonah's wheel class and a hand building class and they were all fantastic. While I am very much a beginner I saw people of all skill levels. Margaret is an accessible and supportive resource, and if my schedule were more flexible I would be there more often!
