I highly recommend Sarah’s hand building workshop. Sarah is an excellent teacher and the environment she provides is very calm and nurturing. I was able to make many pieces and really learn a lot.

A very enjoyable couple of hours. You don't need to be super crafty to make something that looks good. Sarah is a good and encouraging teacher - the right amount of guidance, but also leaving room for you to play. There's plenty of time to make a few items - and to give up and start all over again! Soft drinks and nibbles available throughout help to stave off the hunger pangs.
