Our instructor Beth was friendly. The pottery wheel and shaping equipments were easy to use. We were given plenty of time to indulge in our creative headspace. The experience matched the descriptions quite well and overall good value for the price.
Ricardo is an amazing host and teacher, we had a great time learning how to "Wheel Throw". Basically Ricardo taught us how to model some clay in to something that we were happy with. He is a master potter and his skill is incredible, he made us feel so comfortable while we tried to create our master pieces. We really enjoyed this and will go home with some creations that we made. I recommend that you all give this a go. We both want to try this again.
