Philipa was a great teacher, managed to do 4 pots in the time allotted, and you end up with a pot fired and glazed in the price ,and you can pay extra for more than one

We attended the beginners pottery throwing taster class and are so happy we did! Myself and my partner have never done anything like this before and really enjoyed it. Davide was our teacher and his level of expertise in pottery throwing and teaching really helped us create pieces we are happy with, whilst also making sure we felt comfortable and enjoyed the session. We went as a couple and there was 6 other people on the booking which I believe is the maximum. A 10/10 experience, we would highly recommend and go back again!

Really enjoyable! Our instructor was lovely and very patient throughout the whole session. She helped us when we needed it but also left us to our own devices when we were doing well.

Fun experience, never done before, but loved it. Got delayed arriving on time, but instructor welcomed us warmly and helped us get up to speed with the others, guiding us through the preliminary instructions. She had a good teaching manner, friendly and supportive, demonstrating clearly and praising everyone’s efforts. Made 3 pots and chose our best one to fire and glaze. Asked for it to be posted to us when ready as we’d travelled a distance so wouldn’t be back personally to collect.

I’ve been wanting to try pottery for a while now and this class did not disappoint. Everything was explained really well and I am pleased with what I was able to make.
