we were two families with total of 5 kids visiting ranging from 2 to 10. The experience of watching David make a piece then teaching each child to make their own bowl on the wheel was incredible. David has patience for all ages and really was able to help each child create a unique piece. the studio is beautiful and has so much to look at if big and small pieces! I’d recommend making an appointment ahead to be sure to have enough time for the workshop which was so easy with a call ahead the day before. The kids learned so much while visiting and the gardens to walk around in were beautiful and inspiring!
