We were a group of 15 adults and we really enjoyed getting our hands into the clay and making unique creations. Highly recommend for slowing down and letting your inner child out!

Jess was an amazing, patient and enthusiastic trainer! The air dry clay group was small enough to have sufficient support and her time. They provide as much clay as you need so go big or go home! Would 100% recommend to see a different side to your friend/date
