    This was a great class. Our instructor showed us a few techniques so we could make some nice pieces ( I made 3 bowls). It was so much fun to play with clay and make something. I had a great time. The instructor was awesome. There were plenty of supplies and everything was set up nicely for us to work.

    First, I LOVE my mug - it's a little too big, it's a little too thick to drink from, but i love using it very very much and it brings me a lot of joy! Second, but really part of the first - I love my mug so much because of the experience that i had making it! Eleni is wonderful at explaining technique and supporting each person's interpretation of their creation (and of the technique she is teaching). It was a WONDERFUL way to spend an evening!

    My friends and I had so much fun taking this course. None of us had really worked with ceramics since high school. It was really neat getting the chance to play around with dyed clay. Eleni was knowledgeable, helpful, and an all around super cool person. I can't wait to see how our dolls turned out once they're fired and assembled.
