What Our Amazing People Say About Still Life

"Last fall I discovered the joy of ceramics at Still Life Studio, and it has been a game changing experience for me. After taking two hand building courses, with Lucas Pincer-Flynn, I was hooked. The classes not only taught me the technical skills but also encouraged me to explore my creativity in a new medium. The supportive environment and guidance from the staff helped me grow as an artist.

I was so inspired that I became a member of the studio, and just nine months later, I'm thrilled to be showcasing my ceramic sculptures in a solo show at Bergamot Station!

The studio's community is warm, welcoming, and inclusive, bringing together like-minded artists who share ideas, inspiration, and encouragement. I'm grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this creative space and can't recommend it enough. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, this studio offers a nurturing environment to explore your artistic side. Five stars and a big thank you to the team"

BEST EXPERIENCE!! The Still Life Santa Monica team hosted my corporate group of ~50 with ease, providing what became the highlight of our annual retreat. The staff were as friendly and approachable as they were helpful, meeting each of us where we were and enabling beautiful creations along the way. The space itself is stunning, and the communication - from start to finish - has been flawless. I couldn't recommend Still Life enough!!

Still Life is a supportive, positive, environment. Staff are extremely helpful. The option of practicing everyday is an amazing option! It is impressive that students have great access to clay, tools, great selection of glaze colors, help from staff, and many hours of free practice times.

Overall, it was a great experience. There are many options and even people with some experience could benefit from taking a beginners class, as you can do your own thing in class, our sessions started with pinch pot technique, then coils, then slabs, then glazing."
