YARO STUDIOS - Brooklyn, New York

Gunnar Larson

My 10 year old daughter has been doing the afterschool kids ceramics class for over a year now and she loves it! The teacher Jessica, is amazing and the creative community of Yaro is a great place for young artists to thrive. The class is the highlight of her week and it is always fun to see what fun creative ceramics have been made each week. Highly recommend!

I can't say enough good things about Yaro. The facilities are great, the staff is cool and friendly and goes above and beyond for the students and members. There's a great community feeling and lots of fun events. If you've taken ceramics classes elsewhere before but feel like you're just not getting it or you can't make any progress, you need to take a class with Evan at Yaro (and then give me one of the perfectly centered things you're now able to make as a thank you).

I took an introductory class where I learned how to set up my clay, operate a throwing wheel and sculpt a bowl. The instructor was smart and attentive, which led to everyone in the class getting personalized instruction. I made a really nice bowl that I put my crystals on.

I Love Yaro , Beautiful big open studio. Plenty of wheels to thrown on and tables to hand build. Supportive staff , willing to help you. I took a class with Evan in September and was hooked. Became a member to enjoy more studio time.

I signed up for an intro class last fall to feel creative again and I'm so happy I chose Yaro! I'm in the middle of my second semester with Nancy, who is a wonderful instructor. I truly love coming to class and open studio time - throwing little bowls on the wheel is so soothing, and it's so nice to make something with your own hands and learn new techniques.
The studio is airy, spacious, and well-maintained, the staff and other students/members form a nice community, and overall has a lovely, relaxed atmosphere.
Also good/bad for me that I have to pass Radio Bakery on the way here from the G...

Love this pottery studio! I'm currently taking a 12-week wheel throwing class with Gary and am learning so much from him and others in the class. The classes are really chill with a good balance between instructor demonstrations and individual practice. The glazes are created in-studio and they are so beautiful and unique. Everyone who works there is also extremely friendly and helpful! Highly recommend!

As someone who has a few years of ceramics experience, I find that Yaro is a really lovely place that has pretty much everything one would want out of a ceramics studio! Equipment is in great condition, good offering of glazes and a lot of workshop offerings. The membership and class options are very fair/comparable to other studios in NYC. The individual workshops are pretty dependent on the instructor, but generally, everyone who teaches there is super knowledgeable and warm.

One thing that I‘ve found to be challenging is finding open studio time when taking a semester class. The weekend spots fill up incredible fast––so if you‘re someone with a restricted schedule, that might be something to keep in mind.

Overall I highly recommend Yaro to anyone looking to further their ceramic studies. The beginners that I met during my time there also seemed to have a positive experience!

I've taken classes at a few different ceramics studios throughout Brooklyn/Manhattan, and Yaro has by far been my favorite! The staff/instructors are all helpful, patient, and kind, the community is so welcoming, and the studio itself is spacious and well-kept. I've taken three semester classes here now and have thoroughly enjoyed starting my pottery journey here. I can't recommend it enough! :')
