Wendy and Eric are two incredible people. They are kind, attentive to every detail, and to everyone's expectations, while fully sharing their passion, expertise, and what makes their workshop a magical place. Wendy is an excellent teacher, and she accompanied me perfectly throughout all my sessions. I am extremely happy with this experience, and it has touched me deeply on many levels. The workshop is very well-equipped, functional, and it feels good to be there. I recommend it to anyone who wants to have a good time learning ceramics or improving their skills.

Hello to everyone who considers enrolling in a course at Taller Gingel's ceramics classes !
The week we spent with Wendy and Eric doing this course was so fun and interesting that we consider repeating it next year. They were so very involved with what we were doing and enthousiast throughout all our pieces of work. Even if our projects were a bit extravagant, they went with it anyway and encouraged us to follow our ideas. Nothing to say that enrolling in this course means you can come up with your own ideas and techniques you look forward to with no problem. And if you don't, no problem, they'll have ideas.
Overall the ambiance was great in the work-shop, with Eric being the funniest ceramic teacher (Now's all the best songs as well ) and Wendy the sweetest and caring .
WARNING: If you enroll in this course, YOU WILL DRINK WATER. They will make sure about that. (Best free filtered water in all of Barcelona).
Ether-ways we thank both of them for that great week of internship and we recommend it to anyone interested in ceramic classes.
Hope to see them again very soon.

I had the opportunity to attend a one-week workshop at Taller Gingell, and the amount of knowledge I gained in such a short time was remarkable. Eric and Wendy, the instructors, were not only welcoming but also incredibly helpful. They encouraged me to ask questions and were consistently enthusiastic about providing feedback and sharing their thoughts. Wendy's extensive expertise in the material ensured that she guided me thoroughly throughout the entire process. Eric, on the other hand, was helpful in addressing technical aspects and offering practical solutions. I wholeheartedly recommend booking a workshop with this studio as it guarantees a fantastic experience filled with valuable learning opportunities.

Wendy and Eric know what they are doing! I enjoyed my time so much, it was very relxing, but at the same time very useful and fun!
Wendy makes this course very enjoyable and easy to follow with her step by step teaching style!
They make sure that you feel comfortable and give you tips on how to improve your piece of ceramic because they really want you to be satisfied.
Every detail of the workshop is perfectly planned and organised and it is obvious that they put a lot of effort in it.
All the recommendations for this ceramic course!

Wendy and Eric are as generous with their time as they are welcoming, I felt right at home for the whole course and our classes were full of chatter and laughs. On top of being an incredible ceramicist Wendy is an excellent teacher, I really felt like she adapted the classes to suit everyones pace, and if I could I would take all of her pieces home with me as they are so beautiful!
They’ve really got a great studio going on there and I would highly recommend doing a course there to anyone. I look forward to being able to do another course again soon!
