    I cherish my Wednesday morning classes at Elaine’s Clay Potters Studio - it is my indulging ’ME’ time to create beautiful things and to surround myself with like minded people in a wonderful environment. More than that I have learnt heaps and bounds and continue to learn something new every time, despite having worked with clay for many years. There is a very special energy in this studio which seems to calm the soul and allow our creative juices to flow freely. MY BEST!!

    Clay Potters Studio is my happy place! It is a space I go to to continuously learn about ceramics and to thoroughly enjoy the company of fellow potters. Elaine takes great care of her studio and great care of her students. I leave every class excited for the next one.
