“I went there with my boyfriend on our anniversary, and absolutely loved it! Our instructor, Tanvi, was very lovely girl, she was explaining everything with lots of jokes and was suuper patient with us Without her I would be stressing out a lot. It overwhelmed my expectations, because I wasn’t sure if I can make something beautiful, but Tanvi told us that even an accidentally thrown piece of clay can be an art so I was full of confidence in the final. Definitely recommend this place if you’re looking was some fun activities with your friends, partner or even by yourself, you won’t be feeling lonely, we felt as a part of the artistic family! We made the way for more than an hour from our house to there, but it was 100% worth it:)”

“Teacher Jess was lovely, very supportive and kept coming around to help and advise. After being shown how to centre the clay then was left to create what we wanted from vases to bowls. The spinning wheel was temperamental so this caused a few issues. The venue wasn't the easiest to find about 40min bus ride from London”

“I had a lovely time, the workshop host was very nice and patient, and she had clear instructions. On the site, I just wished it said you still pay to keep the projects you make, even if you choose not to glaze them. Otherwise, everything was perfect!”

“It was such a fun evening, I decided on a whim to try a pottery class at 2:30pm that day and to my joy I discovered they had availability for this class! When I arrived, a little late and out of breath trying to get there on time, the atmosphere was so relaxed and welcoming. The studio was well lit, with cool air and music playing in the background as our instructor , Tanvi, was going through the introductory information. I expected to do maybe one pot with guidance and strict rules for the whole two hours, but to my suprise we did a quick-fire 30 minute walkthrough together with Tanvi to learn how to centre, pull, shape and eventually remove our first vase. After that -- the fun began! We had the rest of the time with complete creative freedom, being able to create as many wild and imaginative pots, plates vases and pourers as we could. At the end we could choose which of our creations we wished to keep and fire for £5 each, then we chose either a beautiful deep blue glaze or a smooth white one and in two months time they should be ready for me to collect them! It was BYOB but I didn't remember to bring any, but it was such a relaxed atmosphere and everyone was so friendly that it didn't make any difference. Thank you so much Tanvi and your team, it's been an incredible experience and I definitely will continue to potter around with pottery in the future!”

“I had a lovely time today at the class. Never did wheel throwing before so I really enjoyed. Wish I had more time to create more pottery. One thing that was really helpful was the 12 o'clock tip which is when you push the clay up and down at 12 o'clock. That helped me get the clay in the centre. My tip would say to emphasise is a bit more as it was a great tip. ❤️”
