our instructor, Dulce (to rhyme with 'pulse'!) was lovely and so helpful, she gave everyone individual attention after the initial instructions to the small class. She was really encouraging and attentive and ensured that everyone had something they were happy with by the end of the class. I had been bought my class as a gift with a gift card and it was super easy to get booked in on the website and there was a lot of choice of days and times.

We had a great time under Dulse’s supervision. It was a surprise for our friends 60th Birthday and all 7 of us had a great time. We made some great pottery and will be heading back to collect our finished pieces next week. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone. Thank you Dulce
