Teresa:
"I really enjoyed the course and after having read the book I found the course complimented the book really well. I feel confident to experiment now with saggar firing and also confident my electric kiln won't be damaged.
I enjoyed the graphics and the manner in which Jolanda explained and showed the various do's and dont's, along with the clear, concise instructions. Its a wonderful course that has inspired me to go ahead and use the saggar I made about a year ago."

Viktoria:
"I can say that seeing someone actually doing the process adds to the more detail given in the book."

Suki:
"I found the course interesting with clearly explained content and easy to follow video. I would recommend it to other potters."

 

Yrene:
"It was very instructive and well taught. It was concise and with no "decorative information" right to the point, (…) I learned enough to do it by myself. Thanks a lot for invest in this endeavor because sometimes books aren't enough to move learners to actually become doers."
