Student Testimonials
Mike S., Rochester NY: I have been attending "The studio" over 2 yrs now and still find it a rewarding experience. Every session I still continue to learn new techniques and methods to miraculously conform clay into wonderful objects of art. I know there are other area studios with similar offerings, however, I think The STUDIO is by far the very best!
Barb P., Rochester NY: No matter how long you’ve worked in clay, Sharon will help you discover new techniques and will encourage you to explore new ideas independently. The environment in The Studio is warm and friendly. It is one of my favorite places to be.
