    This course was really great! Tina has made it easy for beginners to become comfortable with working on the wheel and for first time clay experience. I've learned a lot and feel comfortable continuing my skills and working with clay. Thank you, Tina, for your patience and teachings!

    I loved the knowledge base and the method of teaching of this instructor. She was patient, problem solved with her students for approaches to alterations. I would take the class again in a heartbeat.
  • Beginner Hand-Building Workshop

    Reviewed by Kim l. on 6/2/2019
    I LOVED IT. Tina was great stressing that clay is forgiving - you dont like it, you start over. it was a comfortable, fun, relaxing time with clay. I dont consider myself to be a creative type so I made your basic bowl shapes and then i got brave, pinched a spout and put a handle on it...voila, a creamer. And you know what, i left feeling creative!! I cant wait to pick up the finished pieces and use them at my dinner table !
