Traveller reviews
This week of hand building ceramics with Wendy far surpassed my expectations. She first asked me what I was interested in learning and then designed the course especially for me. Wendy was extremely knowledgeable about each step of the process, and I found my time with her to be not only informative, but very inspiring as well. I can't wait to try out everything she taught me! I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in ceramics.
This review has been a long time coming! I absolutely enjoyed my intensive course and Taller Gingell did everything within their means to accommodate my learning experience with professional teaching and master level instruction. I highly recommend the intensive hand building course and absolutely endorse Taller Gingell! Do not leave Barcelona without attending this class, you will be forever changed and will learn everything you need to know about hand building. I enjoyed the company of Eric and Wendy, they were generous hosts and let me design my own courses. I expanded my technique and learned sculpting, hand building, mold making, and kiln testing glazes and under glazes. My ceramic ability has definitely grown during this week. Thank you Wendy, Eric and team!!! Was a week filled with wonderful experiences! I would recommend to anyone, and at any level.
The course is intensive and very well prepared! I enjoyed every moment because Wendy and Eric are great teachers, they follow everything you do and give suggestions on how to improve your ceramic skills. The atmosphere in the studio is very pleasant. All recommendations for this course :)
Incredible! I had 5 days with Wendy one to one. I just can’t recommend this course highly enough to anyone new or experienced in hand building ceramics. Wendys knowledge and her ability to teach and share her experience and expertise were outstanding. Her working studio is a great spot. I’m going home with a teapot, vase, cup and ceramic stamps that I made in completely my own style, and will be bisque fired and well packed when I pick them up in a couple of days Next time I’m in Barcelona I will be doing this course again and I can’t wait to get home now and put everything I learned into practice.
I've had a privilege to attend this ceramic course, and I definitely recommend it to everyone. Really loved the atmosphere, the help, guidance and the range of pottery <3
This is the second time that I joined the course at Taller Gingell with Wendy and Eric and I am impressed with every detail of the course! Everything is perfectly planned, every step is explained, and they make sure to really follow how you work and give you suggestions. At the end we got the photos that they took during the process. All the recommendations!
It was absolutely lovely and enjoyable. We had a lot of fun and I would recommend to both family and friends, even as a cute date idea.
Best week ever! Developed skills, created treasures and made friends in Barcelona ❤️ Would love to return and highly recommend!
