“I went as a total beginner with no expectations. I wasn’t even that concerned about learning anything as I was only there for my mom. I am hooked!!! I loved the process, the results and if Moy could teach me to make a reasonable piece, she is a wizard. I was thrilled with how my pieces turned out.”
