Erica’s pottery class is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the space feels peaceful and welcoming — it’s the perfect environment to unwind and get creative. I came in with absolutely no experience, but Erica is an incredible instructor who makes the learning process feel exciting and accessible. Her classes are structured in a way that gives you the freedom to explore while still feeling completely supported. She’s always there with guidance, encouragement, and expert tips, and you end up learning so much without even realizing it. It’s become something I genuinely look forward to every week — a highlight in my routine. I’d highly recommend signing up for a term class if you’re looking to try something new, de-stress, or just enjoy the joy of making something with your hands.

What a relaxing Saturday morning. Erica has created a very inviting and warm space as has a very relaxed way of teaching.
Never tried this before and was well worth it. So, there were 5 of us in the group, so quite small and made bowls which was a great intro. From scratch, rolling the clay, all the way through to painting. With plenty of guidance along the way, but also freedom to in any creative direction.
Definitely a place I’d like to go back to for a few hours and look at doing more of an art piece given there is so much inspiration inside.

Ayni's Pottery has been my favorite place this year. Erica's classes are peaceful, fun, very rewarding and something I look forward to each week.
I especially like the freedom, transparency and motivation Erica establishes in her classes. A project you have in mind might not work, but rather than being discouraged, the mystery outcome is only used as a motivator.
Highly recommend this studio for anyone looking to make new friends (with both people and clay..)

Erica is an experienced potter and caring teacher, she is always keeping an eye on you, I was surprised how she was able to look after everyone in the class, I didn't feel neglected like it could happen in other group classes, she makes sure to have small groups so she can pay attention to each one of us fully. There were beginners like me and advanced students and she could cater well each one of us. The classes were very nice, included our own reflections, working with clay was a mindfulness exercise for me, a great way to get out of my mental space and connect to the here and now where we can easily lose track of time. I recommend the experience and the teacher, she guides u with so much aroha. Thank you Erica.

Eri (teacher) is so sweet and down to earth, she is so helpful with making every piece you create turn out exactly the way you imagined. The environment which we do pottery from is so relaxing and she offers complimentary tea and plays relaxing music as you have fun and create! I could not have asked for a better experience, this class has made me fall in love with the art of pottery.
