Workshop Formats That Fit Your Schedule

Every workshop at Lola Gonzalez Studio is built around a specific outcome, not a generic syllabus. You pick the format, the pace, and the project you want to finish by the end of the session.

Private One-on-One Sessions

Work directly with the instructor on a single project, whether it is a custom illustration, a ceramic piece, or a watercolor study. The session adapts to your current skill level, and you leave with a finished piece plus a short written recap of the techniques covered.

Small Group Workshops

Groups of four to six people meet for a focused afternoon on one medium, such as hand-building clay or layering watercolor washes. Each participant gets individual feedback during the session, and the small size keeps the pace comfortable for beginners.

Weekend Intensive Courses

A two-day format for those who want a deeper dive into a specific craft, from surface pattern design to portrait sketching. The first day covers fundamentals and exercises, the second day is dedicated to producing a finished piece you can take home.

Custom Family or Team Sessions

Designed for families, friend groups, or small teams that want a creative session together. The project is chosen in advance, materials are prepared for each participant, and the session ends with everyone keeping their own completed work.

Project-Based Coaching

For those who already have a project in mind but need guidance on technique, composition, or material choices. Sessions are scheduled around your progress, and the focus stays on solving the specific problems your project presents.

Material and Tool Guidance

A practical session for choosing the right supplies for your home studio. The instructor walks through paper types, paint grades, clay bodies, and tools, with recommendations based on the kind of work you want to make.

Private One-on-One

Work directly with Lola on a single project, whether it is a custom illustration, a gift commission, or a technique you want to master. Sessions are paced around your questions, and you leave with a finished piece plus notes on how to repeat the process on your own.

Book a private session

Small Group Intensive

Four to six participants meet over two afternoons to build a shared project, such as a themed set of handmade cards or a collaborative mural sketch. You get individual feedback each round, and the group setting keeps the critique honest and useful.

Reserve a group spot

Beginner Watercolor Track

A structured three-week course covering color mixing, brush control, and composition. Each week ends with a small finished study, and the final class is a review of your portfolio so you know what to practice next.

How we keep reviews honest and useful

What counts as a verified review?

Every entry is tied to a real purchase or service. We confirm the order details with the artisan before publishing, so the feedback reflects an actual transaction.

Can a review be edited after posting?

Yes, within 14 days of submission. After that, the text stays as written unless the reviewer contacts us with a clear reason, such as a follow-up experience with the same maker.

Do you accept reviews from friends or family?

We do, but the relationship is disclosed next to the rating. A review from a relative is marked as such, so readers can weigh it with that context in mind.

What happens when a business disputes a review?

The artisan can reply publicly below the review. We do not remove a review just because it is critical, but we do check that the facts match what was actually delivered.

How are star ratings calculated?

Each review carries its own star count. We do not average scores across categories, because a hand-thrown mug and a watercolor class are not measured the same way.

What is left out of the platform?

Reviews that mention pricing disputes, personal contact details, or unverifiable claims are edited before publication. The core experience stays, the noise does not.
