I attended Wheel in a Day and absolutely loved it! The time went so quickly and it was amazing how quickly you start to feel comfortable and confident on the wheel with Wendy there. She is one talented artist and the studio has a beautiful view. The food and company were excellent. Highly recommend!”

Thanks for all the great instruction and advice Wendy
