Ceramic Social In-Person (6 Sessions)
“It’s been a very long time since I have been creative with ceramics (since art class in high school almost 20 years ago) and recently decided I needed a creative outlet to balance my crazy work life. I found Elizabeth’s “Ceramic Social” and couldn’t be happier with the class. She has a super cool studio in Venice and the class is a ton of fun with a super laid back vibe. Her instruction is great (and her personal art work is incredible) and she’ll teach you how to build whatever vision/ideas you have in your head. I’ve personally made some aggressively large pieces that I would not have been able to do without her instruction. I’d say the class is great for all levels: People who have no experience building clay, people who do, and everyone in between. For the inexperienced, she’s great at giving suggestions and instruction (by example) for first time pieces/projects. Bonus: I’ve met some really cool people there as well, that I would not have, hadn’t I taken her class -
