Dulces was amazing! She gave us a great demonstration which not only showed us how to throw, but also the reason for every step in the process which made learning and the session so enjoyable.

We had the best time ever. Booked it with a friend as a birthday activity. The instructor- Dulce, was so sweet. She explained everything perfectly and was always there to help us out. We all felt so comfortable. The small group is great too. Good amount of time, we didn’t feel like we were rushed or anything. You get to keep one pot (included in the price), any extra ones you can pay for. So you would have to come back at a later date to collect your pottery. I would bring a spare change of trousers next time. The location was easy to find. 10/10. Would highly recommend and visit again.

I was a complete beginner. It wasn’t easy but Filipa gave a wonderful tutorial and patiently guided my efforts. The demonstration was swift but thorough (and there were guides pinned up to remind us of the steps) - and then we all just got stuck in. Hugely relaxing and satisfying. I made a pot to be proud of and would definitely recommend.

Had a fantastic time a friendly environment, buts it's harder than I expected , we were shown how to do it very well and thoroughly at a pace we could all follow and if we had any problems help was at hand immediately. Can't wait to pick up my pot

Frida is a fantastic teacher, very clear and calm. Everything was demonstrated clearly and everyone was given as much help as they needed. 2 hours flies by and this class is a really good introduction to pottery if you’ve never used a wheel before
