Big thank you to Andy and Anya for making all this happen.

The hospitality was amazing the food is excellent. The morning yoga on the top terrace is very pleasant. I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys ceramic pottery the studio is open 24 hours you. We were very lucky because the other guest that were here while we were staying are so much fun to be around. The aura family took care of all our needs while we are staying here as there guest.

Andy is not only a gifted artist but an exceptional teacher, and getting a session with Au was such a wonderful bonus! Anya is a total delight and the ultimate troubleshooter when you need a hand.
Sharing beautifully curated meals with our hosts made every evening feel special, and the yoga sessions were truly like nothing I’ve ever experienced.
Grateful for every moment, memory, and piece created here. Thank you, team Aura! ✨🌿 Potter’s Paradise!

Was so wonderful to be able to take three weeks out if real life and be in creative bliss. Food was beyond delicious every meal (still thinking about the chocolate weeks later) and the company both human and dog was unmatched, have created lasting memories and connections through Aura with people from so many different parts of the world. Andy and Anya have created such a special place and experience, they along with everyone there have really helped me grow as an artist and given me so much confidence. Having Andy to bounce ideas off of and get tips and tricks from has been such a privilege. Would recommend Aura to everyone who wants to have a creative get away, weather you have experience or are a beginner!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dear Andy
It was such an amazing week that I had
I really didn’t realised how fast these 7 days were !
It was a pleasure to sit with you at the dining table with fun and amazing new conversation
There was so much to learn
The food was great … thanks for my allergy friendly food.
Also I was the one who always sneak in and ask for extra chocolate
I really loved the way you give the flexibility to work in the studio like I could even sleep there !
It is an artist heaven ! Trust me !

Andy , you , Leti , Naomi were so great !
I didn’t knew I could do so much with Clay and at the end of the I didn’t even realised I made that and the feeling
Also I use my phone a lot daily and it was the best detox I could get my screen time was literally an hour

See you super soon !
Now I know where I need to go for my next staycation

So much love to you
