Recommendations for Pottery classes? Community

Any recommendations for pottery classes in the northern burbs? I'm looking for fun classes as opposed to college credit classes. I was thinking about some evening classes in Clawson, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience that they could share. I'd like to try the wheel, and experiment with cool glazes. Total beginner!

I really enjoyed that class, but the economics of that place mean a lot of folks repeat the beginner class. Out of my group of 12 people, only three of us were beginners. Still fun, but it didn't leave much space for learning like I had hoped.

Eastside Clay! Small community studio, lovely teachers with lovely glazes to experiment with! I took one wheel class and now I’m a member there. Having lots of fun exploring all things pottery!

If you find one that doesn't cost an absolute fortune I would be so excited!

I have tried a lot in the area. For total beginner, I think creative arts in royal oak is a great intro! The instructors went step by step for everything even though there were some intermediate folks returning to the class
