  • Chiara rated it ★★★★★

    Pink Ember Studio is such a welcoming space and the class was a perfect mix of thorough teaching, with a relaxed attitude. The teachers are obviously experts, and have the ability to take each student through skill-building at their own pace. My wheel-throwing afternoons were a highlight of my week.
