Amazing community space that provides support and guidance but also the freedom to be able to just go for it. Thanks

I have completed a hand building class with Karin and two classes on the wheel with both Margaret and Jolie. They are all amazing teachers and I can't recommend them more highly. I also attend the members Wednesday morning group session, with a shared lunch along with my Mother and it's highlight of our week. 馃槉 鉂わ笍

This is an appreciation post for Jolie & her Friday night classes at Craft Potters, Ranzau Road, Hope This is the best $25 I've spent in a long time! Only 4 of us there tonight, 3 members & my partner Richard who is a complete beginner. We all wanted to do & try different things but Jolie handled it like a pro & everyone created pieces they were stoked with. I highly, highly recommend these Friday night classes & Jolie's expertise as a tutor 馃挏

Enjoying creating here ! It鈥檚 a wonderful studio space, very bright and open. I鈥檝e learnt so much from the other members who have a real love of clay and for passing on tips and tricks to help each other. Raku days are high energy, members shared lunch Wednesday is delicious and chatty, and lots of quiet space over week days and the weekend to have time for yourself to pot and breathe.
