Absolutely loved this workshop! I attended with my boyfriend and neither of us had done pottery before. Rosa was an excellent teacher and there were lots of helpers who would walk around and give a helping hand if you were struggling. The class was quite full on the day we attended however you wouldn’t notice because if you ever needed help you’d be attended to instantly. We made lots more pieces than I was expecting - we attended the 3 hour workshop and made 4 each but you could make more if you were quicker. The 3 hour workshop consists of ~2 hours of pottery using the wheel and ~1 hour of free hand pottery. I would highly recommend this session. At the end you pay £5 for each piece you want to keep which I think is fair as they will glaze them for you (blue, white or transparent) and add a handle if you want it to be a mug. I loved this class and think the price was very fair for what you get! Would recommend to anyone.

A lovely experience! Did some fun learning in a cool and calm environment. The instructor was friendly- she gave clear instructions and guided us throughout. There were also other instructors there to assist. I can’t wait to see the final products.
