This pottery class was trully amazing and worth every ££! I could not have asked for better 3 hours spent learning the craft. The venue is a beautiful, spacious ceramic studio full of inspiration and great people! Again, only good words about the main potter/teacher that showed us everything and there were others helping out during the process. The class was very informative and as a creative person that has tried multiple crafts myself I can tell, these people lead the class with big passion and they know the craft very well (I mean just look at their instagram). I had 3 tries at throwing on the weel (made a vase and 2 bowls) and later we did dry clay sculpturing. I loved it from the start to finish, my boyfriend loved it as much as I did and it was his first ever pottery experience. We had an amazing time and recommend to everyone 100%

Amazing 2 hour experience, very spacious venue that was easy to find, good equipment provided to be able to enjoy experience, each one of us had a wheel, enough clay to use and if you were good enough could always ask for more. Exceptional tutors, very friendly and knowledgeable. I had my 12 year old daughter with us and it's definitely suitable for that age. Highly recommend to try the experience, very challenging
