What Ruthie's students are saying
"Such good training. I really like how the projects get broken down into sets of skills to focus on one by one and how you address issues that might come up throughout the videos and then answer more questions in the live segments. It's brilliant. I looked at a few courses before deciding to try yours and have been really thrilled by your approach and ideas and appreciation of how individual goals might differ. I'm just waiting for my juicer to get fired but was so shocked I'd been able to make it that I made a second one. And there are so many more projects on your site!

"I have done many in-person classes this year, and nothing has provided me the most guidance, and invaluable advice like your tutorials and videos do. I will be referring my friends that try pottery directly to your website! Even as I get comfortable in the craft, I think I will always refer back to your programs here.
Thank you, thank you thank you!!"

"Ruthie has a way of teaching in class that makes it easy to understand. Her passion and personality comes across with every project and her ability to relay technique, problem solving and so many details about throwing a successful pot has transformed me from a "wanna be" to a potter."
