★★★★★Danielle TalleyTalk about being in the right place at the right time! While traveling from Nashville to Indiana, I found an intermediate wheel class with Eric Beale and signed up on a whim. I’m so glad I did. I felt welcomed from the moment I arrived, and in just four hours I learned techniques that will immediately improve my pottery. Eric is an excellent instructor, and this is a fantastic place to grow your skills. Highly recommend!
★★★★★8bit goldfish10/10 experience with Date night! You do a hand build, and a wheel throw. Both instructors are well versed in their craft!
★★★★★Sydney RaynorI’d give Beale Pottery 6 stars if I could 🥹 I met Eric and Milissa many years ago and their passion for pottery inspired me to take on the craft in a whole new way. They have incredible knowledge in wheel throwing, hand building, glaze formulation, surface design, firing techniques.. whatever you’re looking to learn, the Beale’s will help you achieve it! The Beale Pottery studio space is a blessing to our local arts community and it’s refreshing to have a space with likeminded people who are eager to learn and challenge themselves. If you’ve been looking for a pottery class.. this is your sign to take the leap :)
★★★★★Amy McMahonMy daughter and I joined the wheel throwing boot camp and it exceeded our expectations! I erroneously thought we would leave the class with a single finished pot however Eric instructed us on various techniques and tools to create several unique pieces. He combines the right amount of guidance and space for creative license to facilitate a relaxing yet productive experience. If meeting creative people as you gain appreciation for the art of pottery while getting your hands dirty sounds like a good time…I highly recommend you spend some time at Beale Pottery! Thanks for a wonderful experience .
★★★★★Stacey DonahueWe had the BEST time at the date night event! Clay games, wheel time, contests, food and FUN!! Milissa and Eric Beale are a "hoot and a half" as my husband would say and really know how to create a good time! They're passionate about pottery and it shows through all of their knowledge and spectacular pieces! We're so fortunate to have them in our community. 🤗 Book a workshop, go to an event, buy the pottery, you WON'T be disappointed!! ❤️
