Get to know us
This is what our students say about Hola Lola Studio
"I was looking for a creative outlet that would get me out of the house after work. I was looking for a sense of community and love that pottery can be such a social activity. It’s given me the opportunity to meet new people in a new country and feel like I’m apart of a little family."
"Generally speaking, the sessions feel meditative- they help to disconnect from the daily activities and focus on the moment.
I felt a bit anxious at first because it is quite hard haha but it is really relaxing when I’m focusing on making the piece
Working with the clay is super soothing – sometimes I’m so in my head and anxious from a week of work but the clay makes you pay attention to it and when something goes right it feels totally triumphant!"
"There was nothing very surprising. I guess maybe just how difficult it was to start because videos on social media make it look very effortless haha
I’ve noticed that I’m getting better at accepting some imperfections in the other things I do. I’m way more forgiving if something doesn’t go as planned and more able to see the imperfections as part of the process of learning a new skill."
"I like that there’s always room for growth. There doesn’t seem to be one way to approach pottery and the teachers are always exploring new techniques to help us find our own unique styles. The classes are very welcoming - we always play music, chat about our lives, and share tips with each other. I love how this class has drawn in so many people from all over the world who want to try pottery!
It’s meditative, I enjoy them and I want to enjoy them.
I like that everyone is quite casual in class and seems to know each other. Seems like there are a lot of returning students
The instructor is great – even when I come out of class empty handed, I still feel like I’ve learned something and challenged myself and enjoyed being there."
