I absolutely loved this one-on-one workshop lead by Sandro, who was very patient, good-natured and knowledgeable. I was afraid to mess up all the time but he gave me enough confidence, corrected my mistakes, and shared his experience to make something that pleased even myself. This vase was made entirely by hand, rolling, gluing and smoothing out the edges and scratches. I am very happy with the result and the entire experience.
