  • 5/5 from Mandy Heather, attended Feb 2026: My son bought me a gift card for Christmas to do this course. What a great gift it was! I had a most enjoyable experience and made a great start on learning how to create hand made clay pottery. The instructor Maya was delightful company as well as being knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her craft. I was inspired by the many beautiful items she has made on display in her studio. The room was well set up with a capacity to take I think 4 people in a session, but this class I had Maya all to myself. Maya has her own kiln so can process the piece you create for you to collect later. While I had the option to paint my plate I am going back for another session to finish it! I highly recommend Maya’s classes.
  • 5/5 from Jo Sievert, attended Oct 2025: Really enjoyed my first pottery lesson with Maya and am excited about returning for another lesson. She gave me plenty of 1 on 1 guidance and shared lots of helpful tips, making the process easy and enjoyable to learn. It was a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and would highly recommend her class
  • 5/5 from Najmeh Yazdanpanah, attended Sep 2025: Such a fun pottery class! The teacher was friendly and supportive, the studio had everything we needed, and I loved creating my own piece to take home. A really enjoyable and relaxing class – highly recommend!

  • 5/5 from Ruby Black, attended Jan 2025: We had the best time making ceramics as a birthday present- it was so much fun and Maya was really lovely and informative.. such a great teacher. We were all rearing to get our hands dirty but Maya made sure we did everything correctly and that there were no cracks etc so we could get the best outcome possible. Maya even surprised us with a small birthday cake which was so kind of her! Thank you so much for having us! We will be back for sure
  • 5/5 from Angel Wong, attended Dec 2023: I went to Harmony Pottery with a few friends to celebrate my birthday. This workshop led by Maya was an exceptional experience which I thoroughly enjoyed. Maya was a great teacher who taught incredibly well to my friends and I - who were all beginners with no prior experience. She was extremely personable, warm and friendly! Her studio was so cozy and the hours genuinely flew by. I could tell that Maya was genuinely passionate about her craft and sharing this joy with others. I recommend this workshop for anyone and everyone, her prices were affordable and absolutely worth spending. Thank you so much Maya for a wonderful experience and making my birthday so special

From Architect to Artisan: The Transformative Power of Pottery
Alongside my career in architecture, I embraced my passion for art and founded Harmony Pottery—a space where creativity and connection thrive. Working with clay is more than just a craft; it’s a calming and mindful experience that helps you disconnect from daily stress and find peace in the present moment.
In my cozy studio, I invite you to discover the magic of pottery—whether you’re seeking a solo escape, a meaningful way to bond with loved ones, or a unique team-building experience. The tactile nature of shaping clay encourages self-expression, patience, and collaboration. For couples, it’s a chance to strengthen communication and create lasting memories. Families find joy in sharing hands-on fun, while groups and teams can unwind, laugh, and build stronger connections through creativity.
Each piece I craft is inspired by nature’s organic forms, blending elegance and functionality. My workshops are designed to help you tap into your creativity and leave with both a handmade keepsake and a heart full of memories.
Join me at Harmony Pottery—let’s mold, shape, and uncover the joy of creating together.
