Sari Api Ceramics Studio

I spent many happy and memorable days over 3 weeks at Sari Api. While there are different class options, I opted for personal lessons as I was keen to specifically learn the throwing method on the wheel.

Suzan is a wonderful teacher - skilful, generous in sharing her knowledge and customised her lessons to my level of expertise and interest. She knows how to push and challenge you and analyses each successful piece - and importantly, every piece that did not transform from a lump of clay to a recognisable pot. Could not be happier with the final results from the kiln.

That each session is sprinkled with humour and laughter makes the time move along fast. Agus, her able assistant, is supportive and friendly and super helpful. Her showroom of studio pieces at her showroom in Ubud is brilliant. Waiting to return.

Strongly recommended.

Love this place! Their kids classes are great - perfect idea for Saturday morning activities with kids!

Very good studio. Susanna is good teacher and there is friendly personal)

They have class and open studio

Missing Sari Api so much! I came here for a week full course and ended up coming every day for 3 weeks! Lovely staff, Suzanne is a really good teacher, she speaks a lot of languages and the vibe of the studio is definetly the best. Thank you for everything, I will come back for sure!

Great 1.5 hour for the children to create whatever they want from clay. Parents observed, some were helping. It take min 3 weeks to get our creations back burnt. Max 25 children but only first 15 get to have a go on the spinning wheel. Cool experience. Very friendly staff with very good English.

Our children did a class here, got to use a proper potters wheel as well as creating by hand, and had a great time.

Absolutely loved Suzan and this 3 hour workshop. She is a gorgeous fun human who has so much knowledge and wants to share it all. She explains everything in detail while also giving you as much time to play and make as many pieces as you can in the time. Worth the money and your time! I’ll be back soon x

Great for kids classes, ours loved it. Try to do this activity at the beginning of your trip so your work is dry and ready for you to pick it up. I will be interestewin the adult classes next time we visit Ubud

I wanted to book a class - first nobody replied and even during opening hours I could not reach anybody on the phone. Then they wrote me back after the class started, that I could have participated but now its too late. The next class that should happen according to their scedule they said is not taking place so they suggested me (after hours of waiting for a reply) to come the the following day and pay extra for that. This class though they also cancelled on me 30min before it should start. Never experienced a worse communication with clients. And the thing is run by a Swiss lady (who charges twice the amount you would normally pay here for anything) so it can not be blamed on a different perception of time due to culture or something. By the way I went there by foot (its outside town) also because I thought maybe its easier to clear things in person - but nobody was there even though it was during their opening hours. What a waste of time in my holidays.

Agus and Anggie are delightful. Their instructions were easy to follow and enabled a really fun experience. It costs approx $50 to post four pieces back to Australia if you aren't in Ubud to do the firing (min stay 3 weeks). I will be recommending the ceramics class to all of my friends and family!

Excellent, loosely guided classes for children, in ceramic art, including time on the wheel, every Saturday, 10: 30 till 12: 00. Superb!
