We had such a fun experience learning how to throw and hand build pottery with our lovely teacher. Sampada created a relaxed atmosphere but was also so informative and helpful which made for a great first time experience. Definitely want to take up pottery after this and would recommend this experience to others.

Absolutely beautiful class. The venue is calming and has a lovely view over the river. We learnt so much in the class and I felt like I walked away with a new skill. Love the time spent in both sections, wheel throwing and hand building with clay. Nothing felt rushed and the teacher was incredibly patience with us and knowledgeable. Thanks so much for the unforgettable experience. I’ll be coming back for sure !

Really enjoyed this experience which we did for my mums birthday (76). The teacher - Anastasia- was so lovely, kind and patient. Enjoyed making the items out of clay and the pottery wheel was a lot of fun. Looking forward to collecting our thrown pots once they are glazed. Would recommend to anyone - great fun!! 3 hours went so fast!!
