“The Pillow Box Workshop with Karen exceeded my expectations. I am a complete novice. I deeply appreciate being able to come into the workshop with no tools or knowledge of the medium and have such a good experience.”

—Pillow Box Workshop Participant
“The workshop was enlightening! Abby was so knowledgeable and helpful while making sure she made her way to each potter. It greatly added to my knowledge and confidence in how to throw and trim. The discussion among each attendant was encouraging and inspiring.”

—Jana Whittington, Ph.D.

—Pillow Box Workshop Participant
“Ezra did a great job communicating. I loved that he stopped talking at certain times to concentrate on the clay and then came back to clearly answer the question.”

—Connie Ott
“I was fascinated to watch Ezra throw with such patience and confidence.”

—Julie Ferguson
“The Production Throwing Workshop was great. I learned a more efficient way to throw bowls and the hands on trimming was especially helpful for me. It was great to work side by side with other potters.”

—Tera Crisalida
“I had a wonderful time at the Production Throwing Workshop and can't wait to work on revising my throwing technique and trimming skills. As a potter and a teacher, I found this workshop very inspiring and useful in helping me to move forward.”

—Denise Incao
“The hands-on instruction was incredibly helpful. As someone who is not a production potter, I had been worried before the class, but it turned out to be very relaxed and nonjudgmental. I learned so much more than I expected.”

—Lisa Malone
“I attended an excellent hands on sagar workshop put on by Mud Makers. This was a firing technique I had not tried before and was delighted with the finished result and the instruction I received.”

—Julie Ferguson
"Denise Incao presented the Wall Pocket Workshop with clear step-by-step directions. We all dove into the project and magic happened. I was in awe of the other participants' creativity, choices of texture, and shapes. I have since made several versions of these wall pockets using my stamps, herbs from my yard, and various glazes.”
