CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Just wanted to thank you for the three bowls you made for me. They were AMAZING!!!!! The color "speckled blue heaven w/cobalt" was so pretty and liked by the three men in my life. " |
I Bought a wonderful ceramic coffee mug at the Wichita Falls Farmer’s Market. Called Winter Wood & Lava Flux. I just love it. " |
Had Carol come out for my daughter’s 10th birthday party. Carol and her husband set up, instructed 12 girls on ceramic painting, and cleaned up! I was able to relax with the other parents. Best birthday party I’ve ever hosted!"
