Great workshop, she's so generous and clear about her process. Thanks to both you and Candice for putting this on!

Trying right now to make what I learned! Wish Candice was next to me!!

Candice Methe is a gifted and generous teacher! The workshop surpassed my expectations.

Love it O already implemented the technique! Was fun and easy!!

Loved this workshop! Candice is such a great teacher, and generous with her knowledge. Thank you!

This was my first foray into online workshops and I am so hooked now. Candice did an exceptional job being connected to her audience and providing so many tips to improve my coil building. Tips that I can and have already incorporated. Naomi was a wonderful facilitator making sure questions were answered and keeping everything moving along smoothly for the workshop. I highly reccommend taking Naomi's workshops.

Candice is so inspirational! Her instructions are clear but also open ended enough to trigger new (to me) ideas. . I couldn’t wait to get into the studio and try them out!

Well-organized and informative virtual workshop. Candice leaned into her philosophies and practices, which lent to an enriching experience. Naomi filtered through questions and comments to distill the excitement and provide the most valuable information. It was a privilege to witness. Thank you.

I loved the workshop, she was generous and sharing. I'm inspired to try building larger now using a few of her tips. Especially the lids!
thanks so much!

Really great workshop. So much information and sharing of techniques that two hours could have been a whole day!

I loved this workshop. Candice did an excellent job sharing her insights and techniques. The insert lid and the Armadillo pot were astounding. This workshop really lifed my spirits during these dark times. Keep doing what you do, it is making the world a better place.

Very valuable workshop especially the ease with which the presenter shared her working process. I've not tried it yet but I am psyched to try working from the
bottom up and reviewing her process on the video.

The monthly membership has been great. I am not always able to make it to the live events so this gives me a way to fit it into my schedule. I can also take a deeper dive into workshops by rewatching some of all of the workshop.

I have been a member since early on with Naomi’s membership opportunity. her thoughtful and generous teaching style of technique and form considerations have made a huge difference in my hand building. The expanding library of workshops available to me to watch and rewatch is so helpful. The artists are fabulous and, like Naomi, very generous in sharing. As I just recently retired, I feel a bit rusty in the studio, the workshops are helping me get back into the mud with confidence. I look forward to engaging more with other members and all-of the platforms offered. Bravo, Naomi!! Keep up the great work!

So helpful to spend 2 hours concentrating on handles. Great explanations and helpful to see in real time. Also really liked seeing all of the different options.

So many things Naomi shared - by showing them in plain view (great lighting and camera angles)- made so much sense. Starting with taking a good look at various finished bowls, and emphasizing the importance of feel and shape, has made me pay more attention all week . . . and this will continue. Watching the demos validated many ways I already work - trying things out en route to becoming decisive. So helpful for those of us working on our own. I also carried the positive atmosphere of the course back to the studio with me.

I have made several pieces using this technique. I used Cone 10 clay and fired them in a Manabigama, single chamber wood kiln.

As a potter who sometimes grapples with the dynamics of design I found this workshop to be super helpful. It gave me ideas on design and more importantly placement. I highly recommend this workshop.

Absolutely loved this course. I actually now enjoy making mug handles and feel so much better about them. It definitely stepped up my handle game. I feel in control of how they turn out. I also loved all the ways Naomi showed to alter them so they aren’t just the typical straight handle. The best mug handle course!

Great content and info

Very nice presentation.I really enjoyed it and will look forward to taking more of your workshops.Thank you

I love everything about the membership! I have watched several of the workshops already and they’re fabulous. I actually watched Jen’s template making workshop twice! Just finished one of Naomi’s courses and was blown away by the large coil built basket with double handles. A beautiful vision and skillfully executed - so much knowledge conveyed!! Excellent all around. It was definitely worth the wait for membership doors to open. Karen Briggs

I enjoy Naomi's workshops as they are down to earth with realistic and insightful information. I was aware of the general concepts for handles however I found watching how she used different tools to be helpful. I am still trying to find ways to finesse the the joins so they are not messy.

great workshop. inspired me to throw a bunch of mugs to try out Naomi’s techniques. thank you. and thank you for using your platform to promote history and humanitarian politics. it’s painfully absent in the US

I learned a lot in this workshop. Naomi has a clear way of describing and demonstrating several different techniques in making handles. Her pace and depth of knowledge she shared left me open and ready to have a different experience with handles. A very strong recommendation to anyone wanting to learn more about handles.
