• 5/5 from Amy Castro, attended Jan 2026: Just finished the last week of the “Try Everything” pottery class with Deep Blue Ceramics and absolutely loved it. It was such a fun, relaxed experience and a perfect introduction to different pottery techniques. Immi was incredibly patient and encouraging, explaining everything clearly and making it easy for beginners to get involved. I especially loved being able to experiment with several different styles making the whole experience feel really creative and playful rather than intimidating. The studio atmosphere was welcoming and hands-on, and it was so satisfying to actually make something yourself. I left feeling inspired and already wanting to come back and learn more.
