Paint Or Stitch: 6 Studios With Regular Workshops To Keep Your Hobbies Alive!
Overview
Studio Myraa
Studio Myraa is great if you're looking for wheel pottery classes. There’s at least one workshop every month, and the vibe is straight out of an indie show. There’s no one-on-one teaching (maybe if you request a session), but you’ll get to meet like-minded people and make creative connections. Speaking of connections, all the workshops here are quite inviting, and you get to take home kitschy tableware or serveware like coffee mugs that you will learn how to make.
