Porcelain handbuilding
- I loved Antoinette's energy and her love of the medium shined through in every video. Excellent information. I think I learned a lot of good information that will finally enable me to break out of my rut of only making slump-molded bowls. (Karen P. New Jersey, USA)
- Fantastic class. Curt was a most generous instructor. Sharing all he can, and all the while encouraging students to ask questions, share thoughts and photos, and to explore more about the materials and methods that he presented. Very nicely video taped as well. I enjoyed the clam and steady rhythm with which the class was presented. (Erin D. Arizona, USA)
- Antoinette was very easy to follow. She gave clear directions and was very good about answering all questions. I have been a potter for more than forty years and was very impressed with her skills as a teacher and as a potter. Antoinette’s own work is exquisite. She very generously shared her knowledge with the class. I learned far more than I had expected to. It is not often one gets the opportunity take a class with such an outstanding teacher and I was delighted to have been able to participate. (Lynda H. Saskatchewan, Canada)
