Was a really fun experience, but i believe the quality did not align with the price point for this experience. We started late as others who were attending the workshop were late (the location is not easy to find) and as a result the explanation took up longer than it should have. Moreover, charging £45 per person and expecting them to clean up (without being able to take pieces home) is a bit cheeky.

Attended with my wife and really enjoys the session. My only critiscm is that the wheels are very low, the seats are very uncomfortable and both of us had to give up after an hour or so because of pain. It would be great to have some different potters wheel where you could throw pottery from a standing position. Ok for the youngsters but as you get into your 70’s it’s a real barrier. We would both love to do a pottery course but we both agree that we’d need different wheels.
