What Ruthie's students are saying

"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."

"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."
