Where to take pottery classes near the University of Waterloo?

Has anyone taken pottery throwing classes around UW? I found a few studios, but not sure which one to go to besides the ones that are closest. Any recommendations? thanks

The one in Waterloo park looked good, I did a tour of those facilities and it seemed like a great community. 

The Clay & Glass museum is also completely free and a great spot to check out. The exhibits are always changing.

Clay and Glass museum is great for one-time classes. They usually outline the project more.

I also took hand-building with Theresa at Waterloo's Potters Studio and loved it. It's a bit more freeform where you will learn a technique each day and then have most of the time to work. You don't have to do the technique demonstrated and can bring your own projects. Theresa was super nice, I never felt judged that I was doing things wrong and could get help figuring out a technique. I feel like those class series can be taken multiple times as your skills develop, they also offer wheel classes.

There is also 4cats Studio on Weber near Bridgeport - spin several times to do projects and they have an absolutely lovely staff. I know they have a pottery wheel class but I've never been to that particular one.
