Really enjoyed this class. I was a complete beginner, but managed to produce three pots which were actually quite good. The time went so quickly. The teacher was informative, and very patient.

Dulce was a very talented and patient tutor. She helped us through the journey of first throw ensuring we had a salvageable piece at the end. Great fun, great atmosphere. Highly recommend Booking reference 6TYF8247DP

Excellent introduction to pot throwing. Wear scruffy clothes - you will get clay on them however careful you are!

My taster class was a gift from my daughter. Our teacher was Dolci she was lovely. Very welcoming and encouraging. The group was small so we all lots of personal help & support creating our pots. It was a very enjoyable experience.

Fantastic experience learning how to make a pot. Learnt the basic techniques and produced three masterpieces! Dulce was a fabulous teacher, very patient ans hands on when required. Top tip, don't drive, take the tram. Paking is very limited and I got a ticket! Didn't spoil the day, it was a brilliant experience.
