“Our family of 4 went for a 2 hour class. There were 7 pupils in total and Robyn led the session. We were taught how to handle clay and then worked in pairs at the pottery wheels. Each made 2 items. Robyn was very welcoming and positive, with lots of support throughout. A brilliant afternoon, thank you. The studio we were in is reached via stairs, so may not be accessible to all.”

“I recently took a pottery class with Avery, and it was an incredible experience! Avery's teaching style was both engaging and supportive, making it easy for everyone to feel comfortable, regardless of their skill level. The class was well-structured, allowing us to explore various techniques while also giving us the freedom to express our creativity. I especially appreciated how Avery provided personalised feedback, which helped me improve my skills throughout the course. Overall, it was a fantastic class, and I left feeling inspired and excited about pottery!”

“Robin, the instructor, was very welcoming and kind. She clearly demonstrated the techniques needed and then we had time to create our own items. I enjoyed being able to experiment on the wheel with different shapes. The other members of the group were also very inclusive.”

“Here’s a review draft for your pottery class experience: --- I recently attended a pottery class on December 4th for my partner's birthday, and it was an absolute delight! The session was very well instructed, with the instructor providing clear and helpful guidance throughout. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun, which made the whole experience incredibly enjoyable. To our surprise, despite having zero experience, we managed to create two bowls, a cup, and a vase by the end of the class. The results were much better than we had anticipated, thanks to the excellent instruction and hands-on support. I would wholeheartedly recommend Pavlov to anyone wanting to try their hand at pottery or looking for a unique and creative experience. It's perfect for beginners and a fantastic way to spend time together.”

“Teacher informative and pleasant. Only 4 wheels and 5 in class, as we came as couple we had to share the time on the wheel which is unfair as others had more time. Not petty with this as for the price we paid we would expect fair amount of time.”
