*** Please note that due to the nature of clay, results may differ from expectation, including but not limited to:

A very enjoyable experience. Rosa and Cherry were very patient and very helpful. Rosa explained everything very clearly with humour and encouragement. It remains to be seen whether our pots we threw survive the firing etc. But what ever the outcome we thoroughly enjoyed the making process. My wife and I would highly reccomend this pottery experience. Thanks Nigel & Sue

Wow! What a wonderful way to spend a few hours. Nam was an experienced and motivating teacher and his helper fabulous too. It felt so special to be making something with my own hands. At points I found it meditative! The class itself was small (just 5 of us) which meant we received extra attention. There were a number of people in the studio working on their own pottery and the creative energy really did rub off on the class! I am looking forward to picking up the two items I chose to have fired. Thank you!

The instructors helped me a lot since I kept messing up my pot and could not do it correctly! I got two successful pieces in the end (though it took a lot of time and ripped clay )
