“We had our class with Abi. It was wonderful from start to finish. She was there to guide us throughout and lend a hand whenever we were unsure on how to proceed. We got messy with the clay but got a chance to make 2 to 3 items ourselves from start to finish. Overall it was a lot of fun and I would recommend it to everyone. I would probably come again for a class whenever I get a chance”

“Such a great class and what a cute activity to do! It was super hands on ( great for beginners) but also the instructor/teacher gave us so much opportunity to create something on our own and try out all the techniques. Robin as so lovely to work with and was super helpful answering questions . Definitely recommend to everyone !”

“This was the first time my daughter and I did Pottery Throwing, and it was amazing! Even though we worked individually on our own models, we had to help each other - it was like a team building session with lots of fun and laughter, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Ester is really nice, helpful and hands-on. She made sure the item you wanted to make was the best it could be, and she also told us her back story which was extremely interesting. I would 100% recommend pottery throwing. It's fun and makes you feel proud that you made something that you can later look at sitting on your shelf at home.”

“I really enjoyed this class and Abi was such a great instructor, very encouraging to beginners and would jump in and help when needed. The small class size also made it a nice atmosphere to interact with others and for help to be spread around evenly Within this class we learned how to wedge the clay, cone and centre it and the basics of shaping”

“Brilliant class with Abi. Wonderfully enthusiastic and informative teacher. Managed to make 4 items myself (my partner did 6!). Really looking forward to seeing how they’ve turned out when collecting them in a few weeks. Would deffo recommend and will be keeping my eyes out for classes with Abi too!”
