I had a wonderful experience in the pottery class, and I’m so glad I decided to take it. Rosa was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about the craft, which made the learning process enjoyable and inspiring. She provided clear step-by-step instructions while also allowing us the freedom to explore our creativity. Throughout the class, we worked on various pottery techniques, starting with shaping clay by hand and moving on to the potter’s wheel. Rosa was always there to offer guidance, correct our techniques, and encourage us when things didn't go as planned. What I liked most was the supportive atmosphere she created, which made it easy to experiment and make mistakes without feeling self-conscious. She was also very attentive to each student, providing personalized feedback to help us improve. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I learned a lot in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

I’ve been taking the 6wk intro to pottery class! It’s been very enjoyable and I learned a lot! Planning to sign up for another class/membership soon! Best part is I got to come in during open studio hours to continue my practice and throw more pieces. Took the class with Ann Marie and Sasi, they are both awesome!!!

I was celebrating my wife’s birthday and we chose to make it a family activity. Along with two of my kids we had an amazing experience and it will live as a beautiful memory for many many years to come. Victor is an amazing instructor and so courteous and caring. He made sure that all of us were following along and having fun. My little ones were amazed on what they could achieve with their bare hands, and this was all made possible with the easy instructions that Victor provided .

Lovely first experience throwing on the wheel! Sasi was very patient and attentive to all the students in the class and helped us out when we were struggling. I’m so inspired by all the beautiful work in the studio and can’t wait to take my next class! :)
