Loved:
The class was well organized with clear instruction. A/D asked each student what their goals were for the class and made sure to incorporate teaching those methods into different session. This was really well managed with students at all levels. The studio is a wonderful space and has become a community. The techs are always kind and really helpful.
Improvements:
Students are finding bits of wood, plastic, maybe plaster or other material in the clay. This was not something I noticed in previous semesters. Shelf space, wooden boards, and wheel bats can be tough to find.

Improvements:
Just felt really unorganized and unstructured. Instructor was late for a class and we started nearly 30 mins late. No real teaching plan for the course, so ended up skipping most classes and using studio time.

Fun class and Zoya was a great instructor! This was an all levels class and Zoya did a great job attending to the various skill levels/experience of the students. I personally improved so much since the first class and left with some great pieces and a new hobby!
Improvements:
No improvements - maybe just a longer course :)

Zoya is a fantastic instructor. She's very hands on, and gives helpful advice/tips. Both my throwing and trimming improved quite a bit during the 6 week class. Would take another class with her.
