"I believe that pottery is not just about creating beautiful objects—it's about connecting with our ancestral traditions and finding a meditative space in our busy modern lives."

"For me, working with clay is more than just creating—it's a dialogue with the four elements of nature. From the moment you touch the clay, it gives back a quiet, grounding energy that heals and inspires."

"Incredible experience. The studio was very cozy and aesthetic. The instructors were kind, and definitely very knowledgeable. I attended their pottery hand building techniques workshop and built my own bowl. Can't wait for them to fire and glaze it so I can take it home with me! I will definitely come back here soon."

"Marjan is such a talented and patient teacher. The atmosphere at Lemarsis Pottery Studio is warm and creative, and I really enjoyed the hands-on experience of making pottery. It's the perfect place to relax, learn, and create something beautiful. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to explore art in a friendly environment."

"I just finished a 3-session workshop here and loved it! I originally signed up for wheel throwing, but the pottery wheel is much harder than it looks. If you're results-oriented, I'd recommend the hand-building workshop instead."
