Sampada is a brilliant teacher, super patient with a complete beginner like me but also really willing to help and provide tips and tricks. The course is the ideal length and structure and sets you up perfectly to be confident on the wheel. Couldn't recommend enough!

Had such a lovely time over the four week course. Sampada is so patient and such a great teacher. Absolutely loved week 2 and having a long session on the wheel. Would do it all again for sure!
