This class was FUN FUN FUN! Our instructor, Lauren, was informative, patient, encouraging and personable. I recommend, however, trimming your fingernails fairly short before you go. I failed to do this and my nails sabotaged some of my creativity until I finally ripped them off. The Create in Clay class is not suitable for people who have serious back problems. If you can lean over with elbows on thighs for prolonged minutes then you will be fine, but my friend who has steel rods and a fused spine at her waist suffered to get through. She still had fun. If it weren't for the fact that I travel in my RV year round, I'd be down at Create in Clay making something new every month.
