Great workshop with a lot packed in. Suitable for beginners and those with a little experience. Teachers we friendly, warm and on hand when your wheel throwing got a little wobbly. Everything was explained clearly and you got the opportunity to make between 3-4 pieces. Studio was lovely with lots of ceramics on display for inspiration. I would highly recommend.

It was really a great class, the teachers were very supportive and made sure I was able to take something home that I could call mine and looked somewhat decent for my first time!

Amy and Cherry were lovely teachers. It was really informative, well paced and gave you a good opportunity to really muck in and let your artistic juices take over! The building is quite cold so I recommend wearing a few layers and taking a flask of tea!

The staff and teacher were really nice and helpful, she covered the basics and got the time to make 3 wheel thrown pieces and 1 hand moulded piece. You pay extra for the pieces you want to keep and you can choose what colour glaze you want. It was really fun and I defo reccomend!
