I’ve enjoyed weekly pottery sessions at Silky Shapes for over a year - starting out as a complete beginner. It’s a very relaxed and friendly studio that has allowed me to develop and find my own ceramic style. Great for de-stressing after a busy week at work. Yegana is a very patient and encouraging coach - I’m so happy to have taken classes from her.

I've been learning from Yegana for a few years now, and am constantly amazed at her patience and passion. I wanted to try pottery for years, and she was instantly so friendly and helpful, and a great teacher. She is generous and patient and helps you with everything you want to learn. I highly recommend her classes. A gorgeous space, easy to find and get to, and a studio environment that is comfortable and welcoming.
