Wonderful class for beginners. We had a lovely time. And many thanks to the class teacher Alex for being so helpful and patient with us. He took the time and explained things brilliantly and constantly gave support. I will warn you, it is harder than it looks but regardless, we would love to do another class as its just so much fun. I highly recommend it and it is excellent for group activities and birthday treats.

I really enjoyed this class which I gifted myself for my birthday. The teacher gave each of us individual attention and guidance as we went through the process on the wheel. She was friendly and knowledgeable. I loved the process of creation with my own hands and can't wait to see my final pot once fired and glazed soon.

What a great Christmas present this turned out to be. I went to the class on 24th June 2024, and the teacher was great. If only I could remember his name. He inspired me definitely as he was so supportive and attentive. He gave clear instructions and was so chilled out even with the amount of questions and mess I made. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone with an interest in pottery or without, as you may suprise yourself.
