My partner and I had a lovely evening class with Emilie. She quickly taught us some effective techniques then let us run wild building. Despite our ideas being quite ambitious she made sure we finished and helped us along the way so that we had a painted final article ready for the kiln. Along the way Emilie was friendly and created a great relaxing atmosphere which made celebrating a birthday very special. Thanks Emilie!

the class itself was great but the communication after wasn’t ideal, I had to chase a couple of times to collect my pieces (I think as soon as a delay was possible I should’ve been messaged) and the pick up was really delayed. I could have also done with more guidance during the class as I made a container for my pieces to go in and was told it was big enough, but sadly when I picked it up the pieces didn’t fit inside :(
