Past student comments:
    "
I had a little bit of pottery experience years ago and loved it.  I wasn't sure what to expect right away, but the first second I met you and stepped foot in your studio I knew I had signed up for something great.  I learned so much in eight weeks from you. I like your teaching style very much....relaxed, but genuinely showing us how to grow as an artist.  It is wonderful to have a teacher that is so very innovative and talented.  I loved the spray glaze the best...so unique!  Thank you from your student who always tried to use a little more than 2 pounds of clay!!'

"Dear Barry, I began Barry's pottery class eight weeks ago.  At the time I knew I enjoyed owning and using pottery, but never imagined I would ever  be  able to make pottery.  With Barry's easy teaching style and  individualized attention, I was amazed at how quickly I began learning the techniques and I began creating pieces the very first session!
Barry is a talented artist and skilled instructor.  I had a great time learning at his studio and would enthusiastically recommend this class!
" Dr. Leslie Spangler

      "Barry, Thank you so much for allowing me to attend your class. Some things came back to me from 20 years ago, but I can honestly say that I learned much in your class about technique(even if it was late in the game) I also appreciated you sharing your various techniques. Thank you for your patience and commitment. I really appreciate you sharing your studio and talent with me. I really enjoyed the working enviroment and the time spent with you. I have spoke to several people about the class and you and recommended you highly."  Dani Meyer
