    This review is long overdue, but I thoroughly enjoyed this class. The instructor was patient, helpful, and very approachable.

    This class gave me a great introduction to working with metal clay. I chose to work with the silver metal clay (copper was also an option) and created a wonderful bead I will never forget! The metal clay is great for making unique jewelry pieces.

    It was so much fun. I highly recommend it as a way to try throwing pottery at least once!

    This class is great! Veva is very knowledgeable about pottery and instructs in a very laid back style. She was a great help for my group who had absolutely no experience with the wheel before. You get tons of time to make multiple projects and play around with forming the clay in different way! Definitely a good intro class!

    Great class! Throwing a pot on a potter's wheel wasn't as hard as I thought it would be! I was able to finish class having made two admittedly simple (and maybe a little bit lopsided) bowls, which was more than I thought I'd be able to do in a beginners class. The second bowl is an extra $5.

    I LOVED this class. Veva is sweet and patient and über-helpful! I'd take the class again just to make more pottery with her.

    Great class. Veva was a perfect teacher she walked us through each step and then let us take our helm at the wheel helping out when we need her to. Class size was perfect, I'm looking forward to going back again soon.

    I have always wanted to take a class in using the wheel, but couldn't find space to make a commitment, so this class was the perfect opportunity to see if it was something I liked. Veva was a great teacher in that she gave me the basics of what I needed to be successful and also let me explore the wheel on my own. Her studio has a very calm, clean and pleasant atmosphere. I would definitely take the class again.

    We thoroughly enjoyed this class! Veva is a fantastic teacher and did a good job sharing her knowledge with us. Regardless of your skill level, you will leave with a decent piece of art. We had a lot of fun and can't wait to take more classes with Veva! :)

    What a great experience. The laid back approach & environment was great. Lots of encouragement was provided. It's something I'd love to do again, and would definitely recommend. Also the location is easy to get to. It's not far from public transportation, is on a bike route, and also has plenty of street parking.

    Laid-back but very helpful class. Excellent demonstration and generous amounts of time to practice with as much instructor presence as desired.

    From Teacher:

    Thanks Monica! I hope to see you again for a longer class!
