"Geri was very accomodating, naturally enthusiastic about her subject and adapted to everyone's needs in our family. We booked a session with very little notice and managed to get simple but classic dishes made in the limited window we had available in Devizes. The studio was well equipped and had examples for inspiration. I look forward to booking another session with Geri in the future. My daughter left her watch and Geri kindly ensured she would send this back with our pottery as a kind gesture. thank you"

"Thank you Amie, so please you enjoyed your session. Your work will be ready shortly. Geri"
