“Highly recommend the pottery class with Grace! She is so knowledgeable, passionate and patient (I have never thrown before and she made me feel so comfortable). The studio is an experience in itself- a cosy space with beautiful views of the hinterland.
I received my mugs and bowls so quick and absolutely love the new additions to my kitchen !!”
