    Best day ever!

    Had an amazing day with Ruth and Tay. Just a small class so even better. I feel like I learnt so much and I really can't wait to have another go! Thank you Ruth for the support, inspiration and helping me to make something I can be really proud of. Highly recommend you try this workshop.

    Fabulous creative day!

    Many thanks to Ruth for such a special day creating beautiful things! Ruth was a great teacher, and explained everything very clearly in layman’s terms so that we could understand all the tools and techniques, even though there was a lot to take in.
    We very much enjoyed the creative process. Ruth was helpful to push us to try things when we didn’t feel so confident, but stepped in to guide when we needed it. We’re looking forward to seeing the finished products!

    Amazing

    Very enjoyable day. Ruth was a very patient teacher. I find that my attention span has reduced with age and illness but I was able to produce (with Ruth's help) a very passable item. Looking forward to collecting it when it is fired.
