“My husband and I took a private lesson with Harold and had an amazing time! We learned, laughed and made pottery we felt proud of by the end. I would highly recommend the experience to anyone, but if throwing isn't your thing he also has a lot of great handmade pottery to buy for your home!” — Whitney
