“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. ❤️”

“A great experience all round. Went as a group of 11 for a hen do activity and it was so much fun. The teacher was attentive and we were able to really enjoy ourselves. As a group booking, we were able to have the whole session time to ourselves.”
