Gina was super lovely, patient and friendly! She even did a private class for us, because Tess' box didn't arrive in time. We had a wonderful afternoon learning about air plants, sharing stories and making polymer clay planters. I was also really impressed with how many little extra goodies/decorations Gina popped in the box for us - made it all the more unique and special! Thanks Gina!

Hand Building with Clay Workshop



We participated on this workshop with three ladies and we enjoyed it a lot! Daisy was very easy going and helpful to make ourselves great pots! It was more difficult than we thought. We almost ran out of time, but Daisy did everything she could to make everyone succeed and to make sure everyone left with a good feeling about their creations.

This online class was so fun. The box of supplies came quickly and had almost everything I needed for the course, just needed some basic household items (spoon and cling film) that I already had. Blair was a wonderful teacher, she did a great job explaining and showing details on the camera. The kit came with enough materials to make at least 9 small succulents pots (for my first one I made a small garden with three plants). I’m planning to turn mine into magnets and brooches. I highly recommend this class! Would make a great gift, too.
