Maker Reviews

I booked a private session for my 30th birthday as a treat to myself and it was genuinely one of the best things I have ever done. Two and a half hours of Sarah's complete attention - she taught me exactly what I wanted to learn, helped me make a piece I had been imagining for months, and made the whole experience feel special and personal in a way that a group class never could. The piece came back glazed and is now the most meaningful thing in my home.

Private Session

I had done several group sessions and was stuck on the same centering problem every time. I booked a private session specifically to work on it and Sarah fixed it in twenty minutes. Twenty minutes. After months of struggling in group sessions she watched me throw twice, identified exactly what I was doing wrong, and showed me one small adjustment that changed everything. The rest of the session I spent making the best pieces I have ever thrown. Worth every penny.

Private Session

I gifted my mother a private session for her 60th birthday and she called me immediately after to tell me it was the best gift she had ever received. She had never done pottery before and was nervous about a group class — the private session gave her the gentler, more personal introduction she needed. Sarah was wonderful with her. She came home with a small vase she made herself and talks about it to everyone.
