Two ways to start

No experience needed for either. Clay, glazing and firing are always included.

Taught by an artist, not a franchise

Marjan Hassaneini founded Lemarsis after years of exhibiting her ceramics internationally. She has collaborated with Toronto's Gardiner Museum and taught more than 1,000 students. Her classes are calm, patient and built for people who've never touched clay.

The atmosphere was super friendly and warm. Even in the very first session, I made great progress. I was really satisfied with their approach, the studio itself, and all the materials they provided. I'll definitely keep going!

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. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to explore art in a friendly environment.

I love it!!! Marjan and Nas were very kind and guided and encouraged me throughout the class. There were only about two or three other students in the same time slot as me, so the studio environment was quiet and personal.

I'd give more than five stars if I could! I had such a wonderful experience at Lemarsis pottery studio! I joined a class where I got to make a small, beautiful bowl using the pinching technique, and I loved every moment of it.

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. I will definitely come back here soon.
