I took a 5-day ceramics course with Catherine at Lapoterieceramics. She offered the choice to focus on hand-building or working on the potter's wheel, and I mostly worked on the wheel. It was great -- I ended up making a teapot, several plates, bowls. The class size was small enough that Catherine could offer individual help when needed, she taught us different decoration techniques, how to wedge the clay, all of it. It wasn't just about ceramics; there was also a great community vibe in her studio where we could chat and talk and create together. Another perk was the delicious lunches Catherine prepared for us—I got some fantastic recipes from her. A 10/10 experience

I took many pottery classes at Lapoterieceramics with Catherine, and I've had the chance to learn several pottery making techniques from her. Catherine is an amazing potter — not only is she incredibly skilled, but she's also super patient with her students. We covered four main techniques: wheel throwing, hand building, slab building, and pinching. With her guidance, I've made everything from vases to plates and mugs. She's really great at guiding you through the creative process and helps bring your ideas to life. Highly recommend her classes if you're looking to get into pottery!

I attended several ceramics classes at Lapoterieceramics with Catherine, and I she is fantastic, super knowledgeable. She's an incredible artist, especially when it comes to glazing – you can tell she really knows her craft. I've worked with other ceramics artists before, but listening to Catherine talk about glaze was truly captivating. The classes weren't just educational; it was a lovely group of women who I bonded with, had deep conversations, it was wonderful. Highly recommend these classes for anyone interested in pottery.

Why we created Locallista?

As expats, we understand how overwhelming it can be to settle into a new city, where even simple tasks become difficult without a network, complicated by language barriers and cultural differences. That’s why we created Locallista — a closed platform where expats connect with trusted service providers recommended by the community, ensuring clear communication in English or their native languages, making life easier.
