First, I LOVE my mug - it's a little too big, it's a little too thick to drink from, but i love using it very very much and it brings me a lot of joy! Second, but really part of the first - I love my mug so much because of the experience that i had making it! Eleni is wonderful at explaining technique and supporting each person's interpretation of their creation (and of the technique she is teaching). It was a WONDERFUL way to spend an evening!
