Autumn is amazing. She is so encouraging and supportive. We absolutely loved our experience with her and also loved the pieces we created. I really can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our class. It was meditative, creative and artistic. I highly recommend Autumn’s private pottery experience.Updating to add that the final product came out beautiful and was packed and shipped with loving care. It is a great keepsake of a really fun experience.

I received a lesson with Autumn as a birthday gift and had an amazing time. Her studio was cozy and clean, and I felt comfortable doing a private lesson there. I also liked that she accepts small groups, it was really fun to do it with my boyfriend! She was super friendly and encouraging and made me feel comfortable to ask questions, make mistakes, and enjoy my time on the wheel. The lesson was really informative and I felt like I learned so much after just one session. This was my first time making pottery on a wheel and I think Autumn made it very approachable for beginners! If you’re looking for a fun activity or a new hobby, I would definitely recommend taking a class with her :)

Autumn is an incredible instructor and is so knowledgable. The class is really hands on and she only helps with slight adjustments. My piece turned out SOO cute, I love it and it definitely made me want to get into pottery more. The class is super fun and is great for even just a fun outing. I 10000% recommend this class and especially Autumn instructing it!

I was excited to have my first pottery class experience and Autumn did not disappoint. Her knowledge and genuine care in teaching and giving the participants what instruction they individually need far exceeded my expectations. Learned the basics of wheel pottery and got to create my own memorable pottery piece. Lovely studio, very fun experience!

Autumn is an amazing instructor! She’s so kind and makes you feel right at home in her studio, which is situated on a beautiful property in Napa Valley. She is thorough and encouraging with her instruction, you can tell she loves what she does and also loves to share her craft with other. My dad took a class with Autumn for his birthday and he had the best time.

We attended as part of our girls trip to the area, and by the time we were done I was pricing pottery wheels ;). We had such a wonderful time creating our pieces and learning how to use the pottery wheel and work with the clay. Autumn was really helpful, we learned a ton, and the experience was a great value. I highly recommend the Dirt Culture Clay Studio!

My husband and I had the pleasure of taking a class with Autumn! Such a great experience! Being a beginner and having no idea what I’m doing, she had so much patience and helpful tips for what I was looking to create. Plus she has an awesome personality/sense of humor so kept things fun! Highly recommend taking one of her classes, you won’t be disappointed!!

One of the coolest experiences. Autumn made us feel like we were at a friend’s house learning a cool new skill. We had never met but she made us feel like we were right at home.What started off as a fun date night idea turned into inspiration and a love for pottery. I am a therapist and have been working on my pottery skills to use with clients. This idea originated from a night with Dirt Culture Clay Studio’s. She made it seem and feel easy. We left truly inspired.I followed her Instagram account @culture.dirt and was even more amazed and inspired by the art she is capable of producing. If you’re looking for a fun date night, or you want to dive deeper into your pottery skills, this place is the place to go! You will enjoy it and look back on it for years to come!

I ordered a pot and a candle stick on 12/19/23 and they arrived 3 days later. I couldn’t believe how quickly they arrived right before Christmas. They add so much charm to our little space. I absolutely love them!

I took a 1:1 pottery lesson with Autumn and it was amazing! She is very knowledgeable when it comes to ceramics. Her classes are perfect for a date night or for anyone who is interested in learning the basics on the wheel. Cannot recommend her enough!

My friend and I took a pottery class with Autumn and it was wonderful. She is a lovely host and instructor. You’ll walk away with a unique experience and a new accent piece for your home. I highly recommend her and the class!

Autumn was great. This was a lot of fun to get to try making a piece on a pottery wheel with a really nice and knowledgeable teacher. Her property and dog are also lovely.
