Really fun class but felt abit rushed, I know you can’t learn it in a day even with more time but felt like more practice was needed as I found it difficult coz I found out I really don’t have a light touch

Had such a great time at New Dawn Pottery! My best friend and I booked it just to try something different, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our week. There were 8 of us in the group, and the instructor Dolce was so lovely—really friendly and calm. She explained everything clearly at the start and helped us along the way, especially when I was struggling with the wheel (I had a few wobbly pots to start with ). She let me try a few times and was super encouraging, and in the end I got to keep my favourite one. The whole experience was really relaxed and fun. We got some cute photos and had loads of laughs. It wasn’t about being perfect—just enjoying the moment and trying something new. Now I’m counting down the 5 weeks until we can pick up our pieces and see how they turn out after glazing! Would definitely recommend if you’re after something creative and low-pressure to do with a friend. Such a nice way to spend an afternoon. Thanks again, New Dawn Pottery!
