I was one of the first ten members at Clayline. I had been a member at two other studios but they pale beside Clayline.
The studio is organized with good water supply, efficient storage for green ware, bisque and glaze ready ware. The clay and Glaze double trap sinks make clean up a breeze. There are 18 glazes that are beautiful and produce real vibrant colours. Need advise, ask any staff at member, they will share their knowledge. Want to see how I glazed a really nice piece, just ask, the studio is about sharing potting experiences.
The hand building area is a little dark for me, but all other aspects of the studio are well thought out. The members area has secure and adequate storage for tools and personal belongings. Don’t need to worry about keys, you have an access code. Don’t need to worry about paper invoices, they use electronic invoice and payment.
WOW, four days later and the hand building area is bright. Well done Clayline, you rock.
I had the opportunity to use the studio for a month and the space and the owners are wonderful! The studio is clean with plenty of wheels, glazes and tools for members to use. The owners were very accommodating, helpful with any questions and happy to give tips to improve throwing and glazing skills. Wish I lived in kelowna, but definitely recommend this studio to anyone interested in pottery or already a pro!
The four owners are phenomenal, always willing to share their knowledge and help you improve. The studio is big, and well laid out, and has such a relaxing vibe. Everyone you meet is exceptionally friendly, but you can also get into your own headspace and relax while you throw your pots if you want too. It's my favourite place in Kelowna and I highly recommend it to anyone on their ceramics journey, all levels of experience are catered for here :)
