We embarked on a pottery journey at The Studio Fairfield! From the moment we stepped in, the warm welcome from the staff set the tone for a delightful experience. The Studio is not just a pottery place; it’s a place for unleashing your artistic side.
Guided by their knowledgeable and friendly staff, we dove into the intricate process of crafting the perfect pottery. We started with the basics and gradually formed beautiful bowls! The step-by-step instructions were clear, making it accessible for both beginners and those with some pottery experience.
One of the highlights was choosing the glaze for our creations. The array of colors and finishes allowed us to personalize our pieces, and the anticipation of the final result added an extra layer of excitement to the experience. What truly stood out was the incredible support from the staff. Their expertise and willingness to guide us through everything ensured that our pottery turned out far better than we could have imagined.
The Studio offers a variety of classes, catering to all age groups. Kid and teen classes provide a nurturing environment for young artists to flourish, while adult classes and private lessons offer a more personalized and in-depth exploration of pottery crafting. The private lessons are $90 per hour, which is a worthy investment for unlocking your artistic talents!
Our visit to The Studio Fairfield was not just about creating pottery; it was about discovering the joy of making something beautiful with our own hands. If you’re in search of a place to ignite your creativity and have a hands-on, fun-filled artistic adventure, The Studio Fairfield is undoubtedly the place to be.

Hi everyone! My name is Kirsten Horlbeck, one of the interns at 203 local. I was born and raised in Norwell, Massachusetts and I spend most of my time on Cape Cod where I'm on the beach 24/7. I decided to pursue my academic career at Fairfield University in CT, where I'm currently studying communications with a minor in psychology. I'm currently a senior graduating in May 2024! I decided to take on this internship at 203 local to enhance my marketing and communication skills and so far it has helped me decide which career path I would like to enter. A few fun facts about me is that I am one of five and have a twin sister! I also have a cat named Milo and two dogs, Jetti and Cash. I have always loved to travel and took that passion abroad where I spent 4 months in Florence, Italy. That experience is one I'll never forget and has taught me so much, I always highly recommend going to everyone here at Fairfield! Alongside traveling, I love to try new things that are out of my comfort zone such as foods i've never had. I'm a huge seafood lover…
