    The class was fun but I didn't feel like I learned anything new. I would've liked to see a few more techniques of how they make stuff in the studio and a bit of information about the glazing process. It was definitely not worth 125. And I wouldn't recommend this class to anyone

    Very fun and easy to follow! Thank you for a great experience!
  • Couples Night - Handbuilding Pottery

    This was a fun way to spend a couple of hours and i like that it culminates with you each making something you can have in your home. Maybe not to share with guests(i'm not an artist) but its a nice keepsake from a fun date night.

    The class was okay, it was pretty crowded for such a small workspace & the students kept getting in each other's way. The teacher was kind and informative but there wasn't enough space to really roll out the clay comfortably. I would recommend setting the limit at 3-4 couples, instead of the 5 that were there. Also, the first time we booked the class, it was cancelled day off. Not a fantastic experience overall.
