Fun Evening

I was thrilled for the opportunity to take this class and it was as fun as I had hoped. I had recently taken a wheel throwing workshop and really wanted to try hand building. I thought this was very well priced for the materials we were given to work with and for the time we had in the class.

My only criticism is the time it took to receive the pieces we made. I began to think my pieces had been lost. They did arrive eventually and nothing was broken.

Two air dry clay vases with dried flowers, and a ceramic clay tealight candle holder sitting atop a blue photo prop.
