Workshop Reviews
I took the 3 days online workshop. I was a bit curious how a ceramics workshop would work just by video, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Akira Satake explained his way of working very clearly, his philosophy on aesthetics and making were inspiring, and the production was excellent: every step was clearly filmed, the sound was impeccable and all was carefully planned and ran smoothly. Thank you, Akira Satake and the Workshop Team for this experience. The workshop was very inspiring and I learned a lot.

Your workshop was just brilliant in both content and execution. You were so very generous in sharing your techniques, patient in answering questions, and most interesting when discussing your philosophy. I learned a lot and am enjoying a revitalized approach to my own work. Thank you, definitely worth getting up at 4:30 in the morning for.

Such a good and inspiring workshop, - can't imagine a workshop done better. So generous in the sharing of Mr. Satake's methods and techniques. And to me, - the best part was to hear Mr. Satake tell about his personal approach to the work with clay, and his aesthetic considerations.
Also all the technical aspects of the virtual presentation worked perfectly.
Thank you much much for this wonderful, inspiring and positive experience.
