Our teacher Alex was fab! Very welcoming and helpful. The class was fun, educating, and easy to follow, I think we got the hang of it at the end! We had time to make 3 pots and we chose our favourite to be fired to take home! Thank you, would recommend to couples, friends or anyone wanting to experience something new!

What an amazingly fun activity even solo. A relaxed, non rushed, informative, friendly and knowledgable teacher led the morning, he gave us a walk through of the processes and how to use the equipment, where to begin and a step by step guide of throwing a pot, he gave little handy tips and tricks and then was with us every step of the way to guide and/or laugh along with the mistakes. Sometimes events like this can feel a little bit awkward, but It genuinely felt like the instructor wanted us to all really enjoy our day, and honestly, he succeeded! 11/10 cant recommend enough, will definitely book more with New Dawn Pottery!

Frida was a lovely instructor! She was very patient and gave us a good basic understanding of throwing. I'd really reccomend this to anyone looking for a nice unusual date or if someone is just starting to get intrested in wheel throwing then this class would be a great starting point! I'd definitely go back to New Dawn Pottery again!

Very enjoyable 2 hours. Chris, the teacher, was brilliant and really helpful. I made 4 pots. They were a bit wonky, but I like them. It was a really enjoyable session which I would thoroughly recommend.
