Auzzie is a fantastic teacher, she made the steps very clear and made us all feel successful with our pots. Fun! -
Beginner Wheel Throwing
This class and the studio were great. The instructor, Becca, is incredible. She is a skilled ceramicist and instructor. Instruction was well paced and everyone in the class seemed to be having fun, even my husband whom I dragged to take a class with me! This is the second class I’ve taken at Element Art Center (the other was stained glass) and I’d take a class again. Talented instructors in a fun and safe space. -
Ceramic Charcuterie Board
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the ceramic charcuterie platter class. Teacher was great and value for the tuition cost was terrific. Watching your site for future classes of interest to us. -

Nudge Ceramic Charcuterie Board
I took this class Sunday December 14. The instructors were great and so helpful. I didn’t have any wine as I was driving, but there was a plentiful spread of drinks and snacks for anyone who wanted to partake. Making the charcuterie board was so much fun, I can’t wait to see what it looks like. I highly recommend this class or others like it as a group or date activity. The center is also located in Chinatown surrounded by a lot of great restaurants. -
Beginner Wheel Throwing
This class was really fun. Chloe, our instructor, was so kind and extremely supportive. She is an excellent instructor. Everything was kept running on time, everyone had a complete project and time to choose their glaze. She broke down the process and helped us all feel confident using the wheel and sculpting our items. She learned and remembered everyone’s names as well which was so impressive! I would definitely recommend taking other classes with her at the Elementary Art Center. -
Slab Built Mug
I've taken many classes in verious venues around L.A. and this was by far my favorite. The teacher (Nicole) was great--able to demonstrate the project in a very easy to understand way, ready with solutions to individual goals, has an opinion if you want one, and generally made the class very easy-going and fun. Highly recommend!! -

Beginning Wheel Throwing
Michael curated a wonderful experience. He gave us the resources, class breakdown, a demo, and helped all of us every step of the way. Michael was incredibly patient and I never felt rushed in the 2 hours. I really appreciate that he helped me get my piece to look how I envisioned, and also kindly explained what to expect when working with clay. I’m excited to see it finished and look forward to another class! -
Adventures in Clay
Stacey taught us so much. Great class‼️‼️‼️‼️ -
Pottery Making
It was a fun class, nice group and the teacher was very patient. He didn’t mind showing us several times how to center the clay and how to manipulate with teknique how to make the clay do what we asked. It was challenging but I think we all made some interesting vessels to take home. I will continue to take more classes, I want to get good at it. Great experience. -

Ceramic Social In-Person (6 Sessions)
“It’s been a very long time since I have been creative with ceramics (since art class in high school almost 20 years ago) and recently decided I needed a creative outlet to balance my crazy work life. I found Elizabeth’s “Ceramic Social” and couldn’t be happier with the class. She has a super cool studio in Venice and the class is a ton of fun with a super laid back vibe. Her instruction is great (and her personal art work is incredible) and she’ll teach you how to build whatever vision/ideas you have in your head. I’ve personally made some aggressively large pieces that I would not have been able to do without her instruction. I’d say the class is great for all levels: People who have no experience building clay, people who do, and everyone in between. For the inexperienced, she’s great at giving suggestions and instruction (by example) for first time pieces/projects. Bonus: I’ve met some really cool people there as well, that I would not have, hadn’t I taken her class -
Beginner's Workshop
This class is brilliant. Loved the teacher and the studio. It's really worth it since you can use the studio at any time during the month of the workshop too -
One Timers Intro to Pottery
Half of time in the wheel, the other half doing hand pottery. Great initial exposure to both! -
Beginner's Workshop
Absolutely worth the money. You basically become a member of the studio for the duration of your class, but without the need to pay for any supplies! You have full access to all the wheels, as much clay as you can possibly need, and you can make as many things as you have time for! You can come early, and stay hours after class ends. My only note for future students is to schedule your classes during the cooler months! I took class during the summer, and the studio isn't air conditioned and they keep it at 70% + humidity, so it was a bit exhausting. But I'd recommend it to anyone in the area looking to get into Pottery! This class is really what you make it, with tons of freedom to create whatever you want to, and the instructors to help you get there. -

Sunday Morning Beginning Wheel Throwing
Destiny was amazing! She was patient and really took the time to guide us (all 3 of us had never done this before). If we didn't like how our clay was shaping up, she would show us how to get what we wanted. Such a great class and we can't wait to see how it turns out!! -
