Really enjoyable! Our instructor was lovely and very patient throughout the whole session. She helped us when we needed it but also left us to our own devices when we were doing well.

Fun experience, never done before, but loved it. Got delayed arriving on time, but instructor welcomed us warmly and helped us get up to speed with the others, guiding us through the preliminary instructions. She had a good teaching manner, friendly and supportive, demonstrating clearly and praising everyone’s efforts. Made 3 pots and chose our best one to fire and glaze. Asked for it to be posted to us when ready as we’d travelled a distance so wouldn’t be back personally to collect.

Did a beginner’s wheel throwing class at New Dawn Pottery. The instructor was fab, really helped each of us understand the techniques of using a wheel! Definitely worth it

I booked on to their beginners class. I absolutely loved it. It’s so relaxing and the girls who were running the class were so lovely and help you throughout. I booked this for me and my friend for our Christmas party and it was such a wholesome start to the festivities. 100% would recommend. We’d both love to go back soon!!

Filippa is an excellent teacher, very organised and insightful with teaching all the methods. Managed to pick up the techniques in no time, thoroughly enjoyed the session. Great chatting with the other attendees too. Bonus - classical music in the background! Highly recommend for beginners, this class makes pottery so much more approachable!
