Great course! I’ve done this course 4 times and every time I’ve learnt something new. It’s been a great way to develop my skills. Would recommend for beginners of any level.

I have loved this course. It has taught me a lot about the possibilities and limitations of the craft. Through my six weeks I have learned to let go when a piece gets away from you,celebrate mistakes and see the value in acomplishing small goals. Cassie is a great teacher full of patience and practical advice. I will be back in term 4!

This was my second term at Sarah Schembri’s studio. Pottery is such a great way to switch off all other stressors and focus on the now. I learnt so much with Cassie and our class had an awesome vibe. 🫶
