Workshop Reviews
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.

Thank you for an informative and interesting workshop. I found there was much to learn from Satake-san, and I was especially interested in his process for sculptural pieces with "short" clay. I thoroughly enjoyed his presentations and picked up a great deal to add to my own toolbox.
From a format standpoint, the workshop went extremely well. The camera work was good and the workspace worked well for the demonstrations. Satake-san did an excellent job of fielding questions during his demonstrations as well as explaining his processes in a clear, understandable and relatable way.
I would without hesitation consider attending future workshops, and highly recommend this experience to clay artists. It contains a great deal of useful information.
Thank you to Satake-san and the rest of his crew for an entirely satisfactory experience.

My overall impression of the workshop is that it was amazing. It's mind opening to see all the techniques you have developed, especially for people like me who have started recently. And the way you show/share with such transparency is very appreciable.
The workshop was, in every way, really worth it. I'm glad I could participate in it.
