My daughter and her friends really enjoyed taking this class with Seda. She was a patient and thorough teacher, and provided plenty of materials and tools, including colored clay, which we hadn’t heard of before. The classroom was zen-like and cozy.

Seda ran our class and she was fantastic, really took the time to help everyone and was really friendly! You can also make a bunch of little things which is nice and there’s different colored clay (:

We ended up making a bookend, espresso cup and saucer, and jewelry plate

Great relaxing class, everything was provided so you just have to show up. The teacher was really patient with all the students and gave us tips to help make our vision even better.

We had a great time! The class was so creatively fulfilling, and the instructor was so helpful.

Had a great time at the hand building ceramics class. Bat Haus was prompt in accommodating my request for a group workshop. Because this was a one day workshop, we weren't aiming for perfection but just learn some basics and have fun and the instructor was perfect for that. Thorough, patient and fun, she helped salvage struggling pieces, offering great advice on design and technique while encouraging us to experiment. The location was great, and we got a beautiful studio space downstairs to ourselves.

I took my daughter to a hand crafting ceramics class with Seda! The class was awesome! Seda was very professional, detailed in her explanations, and very engaging. She had a smile on her face during the entire class and spent a good amount of time with every student. She demonstrated different techniques, offered suggestions and encouraged her students to explore and experiment with the materials and shapes. We will definitely come again!❤
