A really great class - we booked a private class as there were 8 of us so meant we were down the end of the studio. Liza was really friendly and was very clear with instructions. She came and helped when we needed it and we all finished with something resembling a pot / bowl / cup! BYOB was great too and a really fun evening. One of my friends had a broken arm and was still able to make something too

Really fun way to spend an evening and would absolutely recommend. Great teacher and good to get an accessible hands on experience of using a wheel to make a pot type thing! Can’t wait to see the finished result when I collect.

My boyfriend and I did enjoy it, but the teacher got there a bit late and nothing was set up. It took her ages to get set up and then some of the electrics weren't working. I feel that she should have got there earlier and checked everything was working and had everything set up ready. We started the lesson 10 minutes late at 11:10, but she got us to pack away and clean up at 12:30, more than half an hour before the lesson was supposed to end, as we should have been given the extra 10 minutes. My son had paid for a 2 hour class. We were also frozen as the door has to be left open. Perhaps a warning about wearing lots of layers, would have been useful.

I had a fantastic time during this two-hour pottery session. Learning how to throw clay and create bowls, vases, and plates was both fun and surprisingly challenging, definitely harder than it looks! The instruction was excellent, guiding us step by step through the entire process. The location was great, and the group had a really friendly, relaxed vibe, with a mix of family, couples, friends or single people which made the experience even more enjoyable. I’d highly recommend it to anyone.

Had such a lovely experience with Tanvi! It was our first time trying pottery as a date, and we both absolutely loved it. She was really thorough in her explanations, super helpful throughout, and made everything feel easy and fun. Also very approachable, which made a big difference as beginners. We’re already planning to come back again!
