I enjoyed your workshop so much! Everything was perfect that day, the company of the other potters, the setting, the lovely lunch, being surrounded by your work, and getting to work with the lovely clay. It was truly one of the highlights of my year in the Burren. I can’t thank you enough. Best Regards, Rhonda
