“It is funny, because my daughter asked me to take a pottery class with her. We started with a few sessions, and I stayed with it for over a year now. Mark and Amy are very good at instruction. In fact, I’ve progressed, with their help, to the point where I’m in charge of making my daughter’s wedding centerpieces.“
