Class was good fun to play with the clay and see what you can come up with. Some more examples or instruction would be great of ideas of what you can do.

I booked a hand pottery class as a bachelorette party and it was soo much fun. Everyone really enjoyed themselves, starting completely from being a beginner to getting confident creating our own things. Having the teacher there to guide you was really helpful. I would definitely recommend and already thinking to come again with another group of friends
