I purchased the Studio License as well to use in my community studio classes, and these templates have been an invaluable resource so far. They are easy to use, instructions are clear, and my students and I really like the forms.

FIVE Stars all the way! A fantastic resource for all potters. Thank you for sharing * * * * *
