What a wonderful community of creative people! I joined MAEK a few months ago and am stoked to have found a studio that offers educational courses, all the supplies and equipment you need as well as key access after a certain amount of hours. I’ve very much appreciated the staffed hours that gives us access to guidance and education on whatever you’re working on at the moment. It’s nice to get in that free flow state of creativity but also have someone around to answer your questions or guide you when you get stumped or are trying something new.I highly recommend this studio to anyone who is new or experienced. The community is wonderful and the studio is great.

Love this studio! The atmosphere at Maek Friends is warm, creative, and welcoming. By far the best pottery studio in town. Great equipment, a supportive community of makers, and just an all-around joy to spend time in. Even if you’re not in OB, I come in from North Park and it’s always worth the drive!

I recently became a new member and I’m falling in love. Pottery has become my new thing lately :) I lose hours at the wheel without noticing. It’s like meditation through your hands. Something about it just clicks for me.If you want a creative outlet that gets you out of your head, I can’t recommend this place enough.

Maek Friends succeeds in helping people of all skill levels be creative and continue to learn. The staff are attentive, supercompetent and friendly. The members are welcoming. To top it all off, the best coffee can be handed to you through a large hole in the wall from next door. Bliss.

Such an amazing community! I started with zero experience and now feel super comfortable on my own. This is a great space to get your hands dirty and play without consequence, and make some really cool art pieces in the process
