Elena is an artist's mind contained in potter's body. She is inspiring and a great teacher. I enjoyed every bit of my course!

Elena was excellent during our 3 hour session, she gave us great guidance and let our bowls become their own! Will be coming back to hopefully build the skill set to make something more refined!

Brilliant teacher, loads of paitience and made learning something completely new really fun. Elena was polite, well spoken and full of enthusiasm for her art. We throughly enjoyed the class and really happy with what we made (even for someone with no artistic ability!). Will definitely be going for another class!

Elena, is an incredibly talented ceramics artists and a fantastic teacher. She is really patient, great at explaining the different techniques and is so knowledgable about everything to do with clay. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be doing more classes in the future.
