The class was really fun and our teacher was very nice and helpful. They teach you step by step how to use the wheel, we made two pieces each which turned out a lot better than we expected. Would recommend as a gift or fun day out!

The 4 of us really enjoyed the class. It was set at a good pace and we had time to create 3 pieces. My only critisisms are - the pieces were quite small (but we were novices) and the room was very cold - not helped by an extremely cold day! The teacher was patient and knowledgeable and it was a great experience for our first cla throwing!

I bought my sister and I a taster pottery wheel session at the Social Pottery Studio 221. It was a wonderful experience. Our instructor was so helpful. He was very clear, patient and constantly helping us with hands on support and answers to questions. We each got to make 2 items during the class which we could paint and glaze at a later date once fired. We both loved the experience and really enjoyed working in a friendly group atmosphere too. Many thanks.

This was a brilliant class and the way it was paced was perfect. I went from 0 skills and now will have a lovely sugar bowl and cream set. Made by my own two hands. The instructors were great. I really enjoyed it and will be back!

Teacher was very helpful & thorough. They explained / demonstrated excellently. They were very patient and helpful. They helped correct mistakes made causing a restart & quickly stepped in to fix said mistakes while also returning the clay to the stage I left off. During the tasting class we were able to make 2 products. The first product was based on what our teacher made as we followed step by step, and the second product we made was using the skills they taught us. It was incredibly fun learning a new skill and seeing our efforts take shape. Highly recommended this class!!
