Recent reviews of Hand Building Pottery Course
- 5/5 from Sarah Marshall, attended Apr 2026: Absolutely loved this 5 week course. Jen is so supportive and strikes the perfect balance between letting you make your own creative choices and providing feedback and advice when it is needed. Can’t wait to come back and do some more pottery!
- 5/5 from Krystal Taylor Docker, attended Feb 2026: Molly was really encouraging and supportive of everyones creativity and ideas. She did everything she could to help our ideas come to life. I really enjoyed the course :)
- 5/5 from Melanie Ngo, attended Oct 2024: Lesley is a wonderful and patient teacher with so much knowledge. I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and hope to have her guidance again in the future. Thank you!!!
- 5/5 from Kelsey Garlick, attended Aug 2024: Loved it! Instructor Lesley was very knowledgeable and took pains to make sure we all had projects we actually wanted to work on. She went above and beyond, especially when she didn’t just tell me how to make a pregnancy belly cast but actually made it with me in class!
- 5/5 from Simone Kelly, attended Jun 2023: Mahalia is a gem. So kind and patient and calm. Nothing was wrong, mistakes were praised and fixed easily. She even stayed back my last session so I could get my glazing just right! And I want to make tiles so Mahalia started playing around with casts for me so she can help me. It's that kind of care that you become loyal to. I'll definitely be back for more classes.
- 5/5 from Braden McPherson, attended Jun 2023: I loved how free-flowing and self directed the class was. Mahalia was a wonderful teacher who enjoyed and respected the individual style of everyone in the class, but was always there to teach technique and offer guidance and ideas.
