Lauren and Emma went above and beyond to accommodate me and my wife for a throwing session this past weekend. It really speaks volumes to the community and to this establishment that they are willing to work around their schedules to introduce newbies like us to the art of pottery!
My wife and I decided to visit Waco for the weekend and has always wanted to try her hand in pottery since I can remember. I looked online to see that there were no available times for a class/session when we were in town, but I decided to inquire anyway. Lauren messaged me back to let me know that she had reached out to one of the artists that was able to work with our schedule and this will be the origin story for my wife's enthusiasm for pottery!
Emma was kind, patient, and very encouraging to us during our session and it shows that she has such an amazing talent for teaching and love for her art. There were other artists working on projects while we were there which made it feel so organic. This experience felt as though it was catered to us, but with so much character, yet very familiar.
If you are ever in the area and want to try your hand in learning, I would highly recommend Black Oak Art. On our drive home, my wife decided to buy a throwing wheel because it was so much fun!
Thank you Lauren and Emma for the wonderful experience!
