What my students say
  • I loved taking the beginner workshop! I enjoyed the creative atmosphere and individuality that Nadia encourages in her classes.
    From the same techniques, each student created such different pieces, all of which were so impressive. My favourite part was using slips and glazes, something unique to Nadia's workshops as many studios don't focus on glazes for beginners. Seeing the final products was amazing - I was surprised that the item I had the least expectations of was my absolute favourite.

  • I want to thank you for the amazing ceramic workshop that I had with you!
    I didn't play with clay before this workshop and I thought it's not for me because I am not an artist and I don't have any pottery background, coloring or painting but after this workshop I feel it's not required to be an artist or having any background, I just need to be myself and unleash my passion and imagination.
    Somaya Rayan
  • I always felt that I am not an artist even when I tried many many different things, but now with the clay and shapes and abstract colors I do feel like I found my art type!
    It was very therapeutic for me, l was totally focused on the project and the class being small also helps, it's not messy and the explanations are amazing.
    Camila Ribeiro
  • The first class for me was like meditation. Because she is not only allows you to create wherever you want because she is very supportive about what. She teaches not only just to use the material to create, but also to let the material guide you on the way to do that. So it is a very special process.
