Amanda Amanda Silk Ceramics is brilliant - skilled, patient, kind and a natural teacher. She created such a relaxed learning space and I can’t recommend her classes enough. There was a steadiness to the focus, a calming of energy and a reminder that presence takes many forms. Grateful to Amanda for the expert guidance.
