“We had so much fun!! Ariana’s class offered the perfect environment to joyfully learn the basic tenants of wheel throwing and have a chance to create simple works on the wheel on the first day!
Ariana is patient and warm in her instruction and guidance throughout the session. Highly recommend to anyone who has always wanted to try pottery or even intermediate potters looking for cozy and friendly studio space”
