Wow, we had a great time. The teacher was encouraging and gentle in her critique of our creations. This is a very practical course in that we learned skills to build useable vessels (once they’re fired for us by Andrea). I totally recommend ‘hand building pottery’ with Andrea.

This was a private class in the teacher's fascinating bijoux home studio. I understand Gin travels to your place for classes of 2 or more.

Gin was a communicative and knowledgeable instructor. Her knowledge spans a vast range of art and craft skills. The lampshade making class was concise and thorough. I have left with the skill to replicate more lampshades at a later date and lots of inspiration for more.

I just love my lampshade. It's such a pretty, quirky improvement for the base. What an immensely valuable skill to have learned and Gin couldn't have been lovelier.
