Very pleasant teacher, Sorcha, very understanding of a newbie, and makes the processes easy to understand. She is so enthusiastic about the clay that we pupils fell in love with it too!

Amazing class! Thomas made us feel right at home, had a right good laugh and will definitely be booking another class, ESPECIALLY if he’s the teacher

Myself and three others attended the air dry clay pottery class on a Saturday morning. The person leading the class did a great job of guiding us and offering 1:1 help. I enjoyed having the freedom to make anything I wanted or the option of making a pot with guided steps. Overall I would recommend this whether going with people or alone.

It was amazing! We had a great time designing our own trays and bowls. We could just do whatever we wanted with a huge chunk of clay! I’d say it’d be better if the person in charge of the class had a microphone as it was hard to hear them with all the fuss going around – there was a kid’s birthday party in the same venue.

The teacher was so helpful and friendly. The group was the perfect size and everyone was really nice. I had so much fun and so did my fiancé. It was something different for us to do and we found it so therapeutic.
