I booked a taster session in Birmingham at Pavlow Pottery. We where able to park on the road for a charge. We went to a nearby coffee shop but was offered one on arrival. The booking was for four people. It was good fun and enjoyable. It is messy on your hands and can spray onto your legs but the aporn covers most of you. I did think it was a shame that we only had two wheels and took it in turns. This felt like abut if a rip off as we only got two goes each in the two hours we where there. I had anticipated we would have a wheel each and have more time to play and explore how it worked. It is for this reason i give three stars as im just not sure its worth that much money The intructor was great, funny and patient. But again i felt that it could have been more enjoyable to have time to make mistakes and start again. As it was, it felt like we needed to make something so they would help out at the end. It was fun but expensive.

Robyn was a excellent tutor. She gave clear and precise instructions. She enabled people to achieve good results given that almost all participants were all new to wheel throwing.
