Excellent day of pottery! - I had a wonderful day on this experience. The day was well organised, demonstration and explanations were clear. I have done a little bit of pottery in the past but learned parts of hand building and making that I haven't done before. The guide and teachers were very warm and friendly and I will be really looking forward so to seeing how the pieces I made turn out once they are finished.
