Your demonstrations and explanations were very clear and easy to follow.
I think you had techniques to share that were suitable for beginners to
Intermediate students and so would be suitable for a broad audience.
Thank you, Teresa. We appreciate your kind words. Providing clear, thoughtful, and well-organized instruction is always our goal, and we're so glad that came through in your experience. Happy making! <3
Another great workshop! It was super informative, kept moving along smoothly. I've still got a tab open for foam board at Home Depot because I want to get some this week lol.
Thanks so much for your kind review, Martha! We're so happy you enjoyed the workshop and are eager to try the new techniques. Let us know how it goes! Happy making 💙
Easy to follow demonstrations and very helpful content

Practical, informative, accessible, affordable-always appreciate and enjoy Naomi's workshops- I think this is the 3rd or 4th I've done - always consisitent, never disappointing
Thank you, Karin. We truly appreciate your kind words. Providing clear, thoughtful, and well-organized instruction is always our goal, and we're so glad that came through in your experience.
fantastic !
Thanks for the review! We're so glad you liked the workshop.
I really enjoyed the mold Making Workshop and getting to review the first Workshop also. I have been kept out of the studio due to almost the first 9 months of the year.
It was a nice experience and am planning to make several of the hump and slump versions. Will send some photos of my attempts. I will be doing more handbuilding and OT rehab.
Thanks so much for your kind review, Chuck! We're so happy you chose to join us in the workshop and are eager to practice your new skills. Happy making 💙
A wonderful, inspiring workshop with super clear instructions and thoughts. Can’t wait to try the fat coil method to begin with. Thank you so much
Thanks so much for your kind review, Elizabeth! We're so happy you enjoyed the workshop and are eager to try the new techniques. Let us know how it goes! Happy making 💙
I enjoyed the session a lot - learned about the free-standing method which seems so adaptable to many shapes and sizes. I am going to give that a try first I think. I am also going to do some slump molds that I can use as templates for multiples. Very well organized and presented. I'll go back to watch your original version for the hollowed-out style as well. Thanks so much.
Thanks so much for your kind review, Susan! We're so happy you enjoyed the workshop and are eager to practice your new skills. Happy making 💙
It was a great class, anxious to try some of her techniques.
Thanks so much for your kind review, Janet! We're so happy you enjoyed the workshop and are eager to learn more with us. Happy making 💙
Hello! I am living in Arizona and it so hot now. This workshop was a relief from the weather. Dehmie is so inspiring and I have been trying her hand-built projects out. I am loving the process!
Thank you, Amy! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed Dehmie’s workshop. It's lovely to know you've been putting the techniques into practice and having fun with the process. Wishing you many creative studio days ahead. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
I was very inspired and got right into my studio to start making stuff and now I can't stop!
Thank you, Lisa! What a wonderful compliment. We love hearing that the workshop inspired you to head straight into the studio and start creating. That’s such a great feeling eh? Wishing you many happy hours of experimenting and creating, and thank you for taking the time to share your experience!
I noticed that she did a lot of talking but didn’t thoroughly explain the process nor did she show the class how she used the templates. Compared with other classes I have taken from this site, the workshop Was a disappointment
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback Becky, and I'm sorry this workshop didn't meet your expectations. It was intentionally designed to cover a wide range of approaches to the topic — so it moved quickly rather than going deep on any one method. I completely understand why that was frustrating if you were hoping for more detailed instruction. It's a good reminder that we can do a better job of setting expectations upfront so you know what you're coming into. I appreciate you taking the time to let us know!
It was great. It helped me successfully pack and carry multiple (40) clay pieces my luggage. Thanks!
Thank you, Anne. We're so glad the workshop helped you safely transport your work. Successfully traveling with 40 clay pieces is quite an accomplishment! We appreciate you sharing your experience and are delighted the workshop provided practical value.
Unique tech of stiff slab construction-great presentation
Thank you, Barbara! We're happy you enjoyed the workshop and found the techniques valuable. We really appreciate your kind words about the presentation and are grateful you took the time to share your experience with us.
Loved the workshop. Dehmie did a fabulous job sharing her techniques and I so appreciated her sharing her templates too. They give me a great starting point to create my own!!
Thank you, Kristen! We're so glad you enjoyed the workshop and Dehmie’s teaching style. That’s great that the templates have given you a strong starting point for your own creations. We can't wait to see where your ideas take you!
Best workshop I've taken in a long time.
Wow, thank you so much, Heather! That means so much, and we’re delighted that you found it valuable and inspiring. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I LOVED the workshop and have already attempted a bunch of handles, both pulled and cut out (and I really prefer the feel and look of the pulled ones for my work). I'm a newbie potter, and usually do layered, textured bowls and plant pots, but have been wanting to try mugs. The handle workshop opened a whole new world for me and I'm having a ball.
Thank you, Annie! It was wonderful to read your review. We love hearing that the workshop opened up new possibilities in your work and helped you feel more confident exploring different handle-making techniques. Happy making
Always thorough, organized and clear
Thank you, Holly. We truly appreciate your kind words. Providing clear, thoughtful, and well-organized instruction is always our goal, and we're so glad that came through in your experience.
I found this session extremely helpful and learned many things about the construction of handles. The suggestion of a "handle date" in the studio and bisque firing handles to use as a reference in the future, are just two of the many highlights. I feel empowered to try new handle shapes that seemed like a mystery to me before. Handles are no longer just a necessary part of a mug; I see them as the jewelry that rounds out the whole feel of the design. Bravo! I highly encourage anyone who doesn't love making handles to take this course.
Thank you, Sarah, for such a thoughtful review. We're delighted to hear that the workshop helped demystify handle-making and gave you the confidence to explore new forms and possibilities. Your description of handles as the jewelry of a mug is delightful, and we're thrilled the course inspired you in that way.
Perfect!
Thank you, Gayle! We're so pleased you enjoyed the workshop. We appreciate your support and your review, and we hope to create with you again in the future.
I was expecting a little more varies handles, overall good workshop.
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your feedback and are happy to hear that overall you enjoyed the workshop, though I'm sorry there wasn't quite as much variety as you'd hoped for. We will keep that in mind for future updates.
Lots of great information! Can't wait to do another online class.
Thank you, Katie! We’re so glad you found the class informative and valuable. It means a lot to hear that you're looking forward to more and we’d love to welcome you again! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review
Great instruction! Thank you!
Thanks for the kind review Kelley, we're thrilled to hear that you got a lot out of the Hand-Built Bowls Workshop. Happy making
It does not appear where it should after purchase. I have been unable to locate.
Hi James, I'm so sorry that you've had trouble accessing the workshop -- thank you for bringing this to our attention. I've just sent you an email with detailed instructions for how to log into the online portal to access the workshop. If you have any other questions, or encounter further issues, please let us know and we'll be sure to get you sorted.
I love the short format. Two hours is the sweetspot for me, though I'd love to sit and watch people handbuild allllll daaaaay, This really works with busy schedules. Candice's workshop was super informative, and I walked away with some new "must-try" items on my bucket list.
Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for our workshop with Candice Methe. She really is an incredible teacher isn't she? We're so thrilled you enjoyed it and left feeling inspired
