- 5/5 from Lily Nguyen, attended Jul 2026: Tania is an amazing teacher who is very supportive and skilled. I received the beginner course as a birthday gift and it was very well spent as I could book when it suited my schedule best During the 8 weeks you go through two cycles of throwing (twice), trimming and glazing, which was all a great learning experience. I’m already taking a look at doing the beyond the basic classes next!
