“This was so fun! I booked this for my partners bday. Our teacher, Kimya (Im SO sorry if I got that wrong!) Was amazing. So patient, knowledgeable and really made it. The setup was great - small classes, a relaxed environment and the chance to try different types of approaches. We'll absolutely be back. Thank you!”

“Seamless booking and everything in advance of the event was simple. On the night the whole thing was amazing and Kimia was a perfect host. Simple instructions, great demonstrations and extremely patient /helpful. Although group size was supposed to be large only 4 persons showed up and were able to have more focused time and engagement. First time doing wheel throwing and would highly recommend for anyone to give it a try. Did the wheel throwing and hand buidling. Will be coming back to paint the items post bisque firing.”

“Jess, our teacher, was fabulous. She conveyed lots of information very simply and made us feel excited and confident about our planned taster projects. Doing the session in a small group added to the fun, and we all produced things we wanted to take home with us (after the firing and glazing is done). Thank you!”
