*** Please note that due to the nature of clay, results may differ from expectation, including but not limited to:
- Glaze may vary from examples and are for reference only
- Texture created may not shown in the final result
- Pots will appear smaller from what you created from class, since clay have a 15% shrinkage

Fabulous class. Very friendly, patient and fun people. We learnt to throw pots and make coil pots and could pay a bit extra to have them fired and glazed to pick up in three weeks. Would thoroughly recommend it.

The teaching staff were so nice and helpful. They had 3 teachers for 10 of us, so we didn't have to wait to get support or advice on our work. The venue was really nice and clean. The founder and his dad rebuilt the place from scratch all by themselves during lockdown (impressive!). Student artwork was displayed all around the venue, and honestly, the pieces were so well executed, which showcases their talent as teachers.

I booked this as a joint birthday present for myself and my cousin and it was a lovely experience. The ambiance is very artistic and rustic and teaching team is fantastic: very knowledgeable and friendly. They are also generous with the clay to allow for beginners mistakes and with time at the wheel. The cost to have your pieces glazed is reasonable.

Great and inspiring studio set up with a generous amount of materials and individual space. Very approachable, knowledgable and supportive tutor Nam. I can’t believe I’ve grown my first ever bowl, can’t wait to see it glazed.

Great teaching, atmosphere, studio. It was a ton of fun! Only negative is it's a bit far out of the way, but make a day trip of it to Stoke Newtington with brunch and stroll.
