Best Pottery Experience Ever - Honestly this was an absolutely wonderful experience. Wendy and Eric are excellent teachers, hosts and just overall the kindest people. They tailor the lesson to your language needs and they are so patient in explaining and helping when I wanted/needed. They are so knowledgeable and fun and you can tell that they love their job and have a real passion for it. The clay and materials were wonderful and I had so many options for styling my planter. The length of time was perfect and I never felt rushed. Both offered suggestions when I needed it and were so encouraging as I was trying to make a unique style. I highly recommend taking one of their workshops. You will come out of there feeling so great.
