Ceramic throwing & painting duo workshop in Paris 20th arrondiss

Olena is totally unprofessional. She arrived more than 20 minutes late, then "taught" for 25 minutes, only to storm out of the studio, leaving us alone for most of the session. We could hear her cooking, washing up and eating from the side of the room. At the end there was no label or paper to mark our bowls and he didn't even ask us to identify what we'd done. 1 and a half months later, we asked to come back and pick them up with the glazing done, since it had been over two weeks. On the spot, she tells us we have to look for them ourselves, because she has a lot of bowls and doesn't know which is which. The mesh in the first bowl is neither done nor to be done, amateur work. The second one hasn't been done for over a month and a half. And she laughingly retorts "C'est la vie". In short, don't go.

The experience was a little bizarre, as we were left to our own devices for two hours after ten minutes of explanations. The cups at the end are beautiful, but we're not really the creators, since she ends up doing it for us, without helping us to do it ourselves... We'll try elsewhere next time.

Mixed experience Teacher wasn't very patient and didn't explain too much. The exchanges to get our parts back were rather unpleasant and the parts stained at the end. Too bad it could have been good, the studio is pretty.

Good experience where we were able to try both modeling and turning. Olena is a good listener and available to help and explain.

Good overall experience, the speaker is kind and rather reserved. On the plus side, if you have any problems, she will finalize your creation, so you can leave with a beautiful object. Negative point: Concerning the paint, she suggested a simple paint and a special paint. We chose the special paint, which requires the object to be fired beforehand, so on the suggestion of the instructor we went back to do the famous special paint. After applying the paint, when it was time to leave, we didn't appreciate being charged 10 euros per person for having chosen a special paint that required us to return. We should have said so at the outset, so that we could have made an informed decision. It's a pity, in principle, and I'm a bit disappointed by this disappointment.

Great experience, really interesting and lucrative. We had a great time with my girlfriend. Nevertheless, the welcome was a bit dubious, not very clear. The teacher didn't really instruct us on what to do. A bit lacking in music or other relaxing aspects to make the experience even more enjoyable. In general, I'd do it again, but there's always room for improvement.

We had a great time.

Thank you so much for this wonderful moment! We were very well received, this small workshop nestled in a very pleasant passage of the 20th offered us a moment of calm and sharing, you will find everything you need to try modeling and turning! A must!

A wonderful experience with Olena. It was the 1st time for my mom and me and we loved it. Olena is very kind and has very good advice. We wanted to do something more artistic and manual, so she steered us towards modeling rather than turning. Which was excellent advice because, indeed, I think we would have struggled a bit with turning. We had a fabulous three hours! Many thanks Olena :)

We loved our time with Olena. The location is also very pleasant and relaxing. We recommend +++

First experience and it was really nice!

Thank you so much for this experience, Olena was a great listener and very involved in helping us. Can't wait to get the baked results back 😀
