SMAart Gallery and Studio at 1045 Sutter Street offers wheel throwing, handbuilding, sculpture, and Raku firing classes in a gallery setting in Nob Hill, with sessions ranging from one-day drop-ins to four-week and six-week courses for adults of every skill level. The one-day Raku class is a dramatic outdoor firing where pieces are pulled glowing from the kiln and placed in a reduction chamber, producing unique metallic and crackle effects that cannot be replicated in a standard kiln. With a 4.5-star rating on Yelp across nearly 60 reviews, it is one of the most distinctive ceramics studios in the city.
