Whilst the activity was new & fun, the whole experience feels let down because of the host who wasn't around & mostly attended to her owns tasks. The explanation of how everything is done felt lackluster, the host mentioned how "air pocket" would probably break the ceramics, but left us (first timers) to ensure there are no air pockets in the clay. Hardly bothered to check on things & just rushed to finish the class.

Making our own ceramic bowl & plates. Indulging in the experience.
