Perfect course for a first-timer who wants to learn the basics of wheel throwing ceramics. I enjoyed the experience so much. The teachers and fellow participants were incredibly welcoming and encouraging. I finished the course with six pieces that are both beautiful and functional. Will definitely be back for the intermediate course! Thanks Pink Ember studios x

A very welcoming class and instructor. Georgia was patient and always open to showing us new techniques and helped us push our (fledgling) skills with the clay. So much fun.
