About this course
What learners say
★★★★★ 4.5 · 2 reviews
Hand-building only, which is clear beforehand
If you came hoping to throw, this is not that course. For what it is, it is thorough and unhurried.
Small enough that the tutor can see your hands
That turns out to be the whole thing. Corrections happen in the moment rather than a week later on a photograph.
