Planning a pottery class for two in New York? This guide lists ten studios in the order of our ranking, with what each one states about class length, group size, scheduling and booking. A shared session usually means working side by side at the wheel or a hand-building table while an instructor guides you through shaping clay. Where a studio does not state something, such as a couples package, a price per couple or a booking lead time, this guide leaves it out. Confirm current prices and open time slots directly with each studio before you plan a date.
