The experience was fine overall, the facilities were good and we had more than enough clay and space to work it. The problem was that the coaching was minimal at best, they showed a large crowd what to do pretty quickly and then just left you to it. There was no walking round from the teachers asking 'how are you getting on?', but instead they just silently stood to the side, and when we asked for assistance they just did it for us. I did not leave feeling any better at pottery (I had never done pottery beforehand), neither did my partner. Also, it is unacceptable to take up 25 minutes of a 2 hour session with us cleaning up. I can understand that it is a valuable and respectful thing to do as a guest, but it is a waste of our money to spend almost 25% of the session cleaning up mostly other people's mess. I have taken part in 'expert' sessions in other experiences before (cocktail making, painting etc.) and I have never been asked to clean up the whole room within the paid-for time. This was a particularly disappointing aspect.

It was a fun activity but not very well taught. The sessions was only 1.5 hours long by the time we begun and cleaned up. It's a tricky technique which you are left to your own devices to figure out... I think it would have been better if the session was more slowly guided with a better room layout which supported learning from other participants. There was a nice option of glazes at the end and the opportunity to make multiple items.
