KIND WORDS

  • "We recently celebrated our team Christmas party at Silt Studio. We did both hand building & wheel throwing. Everyone had such a great time, and we love our works of art! We definitely want to come back and make other creations! Thank you for having us Lara & Seth!"

    Alana Kennedy

  • "I feel so lucky to live in a town that has so many wildly creative, talented, as well as kind and generous people. I am not an artist but I am a “maker” at heart and love all things creative. Finally locking in a hand-building session with a friend at the studio was the best way to start 2026 for me. It was so good I jumped at the next opportunity 2 weeks later. Quite easily the most fun 4 hours of my summer holidays. It brought me a lot of joy which is what making art should be like"

    Gertrudes Mitchell

  • "Absolutely love this place! Silt hosted a a group of 12 of us, all complete beginners. We all managed to create a piece that we were proud of. Lara was wonderful, guiding us patiently through each step. We all had so much fun! The studio space is gorgeous, and perfect for any group activity. I'll definitely be back."

    Madi Gough
