What Ruthie's students are saying

"Without Twisted Clay, I probably would have stopped trying to master the wheel. I have real projects that help show me how I’ve progressed in my learning journey. The instructions are easy to digest and I love being able to rewind certain parts over and over until I get it right!"

~ Kelli W.

"Twisted Clay’s classes and foundation skills are a wonderful way to level up your skills, even if you’re travelling and not at your wheel."

~ Adele B.

"Ruthie is a very talented and patient teacher with a great deal of experience and a willingness to share her knowledge. I have taken lots of classes in person and find that Ruthie's methods suit my needs more than most."

~ John P.
