For our 9th Anniversary my husband gifted us with a pottery session with Terry- we both agreed that it was the most meaningful and enjoyable anniversary experience weve had! Terry is friendly, kind and patient, as well as a gifted artist. I was concerned before we arrived about my ability to throw a pot on a wheel- but after meeting Terry, I had the confidence and peace to enjoy the process. Im so grateful for the experience, thank you Terry!
