“We made 3 bowls each. The teacher, Suzan, was supportive and helpful, demonstrating the making of one first, and articulating the different steps really clearly. We then took over the wheels with Suzan continuing to offer valuable instruction while giving us space to experiment and helping us recover if those experiments went slightly askew. Highly recommend!”

“We had a wonderful time doing the beginner's pottery class for my partner's birthday! Suzan was very friendly and lovely, she was very patient with us when showing us how to initially use the wheel. The two hour slot was enough time for us to make four different pieces, highly recommend her class to anyone who doesn't know how to do pottery!”

“We had a fantastic time in our class with Susan. She was warm and accommodating and made us both feel incredible chill about it being our first time. She explained everything clearly and then left us to try new things. Can’t recommend this class enough, we have both found a new hobby from it.”

“Great class! Suzan is an amazing teacher. She provided enough guidance but also gave us the opportunity to try it by ourselves and make mistakes (and correct them). It was lovely having a private class with just the two of us - we learned a lot. I can't wait to see the end result!”
