My wife & I had a really enjoyable experience. We thought it would be much harder to learn the potters wheel but we had a great teacher with Filipa who explained everything really well and supported us throughout the whole 2 hour experience. We were pleased with the pots we created and look forward to seeing the end result.

Great taster class! Detailed demonstration with lots of time to independently practice and experiment. Located in industrial estate warehouse so wrap up warm if attending in winter months and no drinking water on site so take your own refreshments. Would defo book again :)

What an amazing experience. Filipa was a great teacher and demonstrated the art of using a potters wheel. We then made our first pot together taking it slowly through the process and after that we had a go independently with support. Harder than it looks but so much fun. Be prepared to get sticky clay hands and hug your pots to get them into shape. I had an absolute blast and can't wait to see the fully glazed items in a few weeks
