I booked on to their beginners class. I absolutely loved it. It’s so relaxing and the girls who were running the class were so lovely and help you throughout. I booked this for me and my friend for our Christmas party and it was such a wholesome start to the festivities. 100% would recommend. We’d both love to go back soon!!

Filippa is an excellent teacher, very organised and insightful with teaching all the methods. Managed to pick up the techniques in no time, thoroughly enjoyed the session. Great chatting with the other attendees too. Bonus - classical music in the background! Highly recommend for beginners, this class makes pottery so much more approachable!

Absolutely joyful two hours. Dulcè our teacher was wonderful and gave a clear and experienced demonstration of how to get going at the wheel and was always on hand to offer advice - verbally (and practically!) throughout the session. We left having had a brilliant time and wanting to spread the word of what a fantastic experience it was. Can’t wait to see what our pots look like after glazing and firing.
