Brilliant. G was very good with a class of absolute beginners. We all came home with something looking like we knew what we were doing.

The teacher was great - we had only 4 people in the group, so we had lots of personal feedback and attention. However, I believe the structure of the class could be MUCH better - starting with a small introduction to pottery as art and clay as material just to let us know more about all this. Instead we just watched our teacher do pottery for like 15 mins and explain what we had to do - by the end of his performance I obviously forgot all the details and wasn't able to do it all by myself - so felt like a waste of time and certainly could have been done differently, in a more structured and engaging way. We were a bit late to the class (10 mins), we called and warned the school in advance. When we came in, we were led straight to the class in a kind of rushed way which I understand, but then we had to use the bathroom and go all the way to the main entrance (which is quite a journey) - this could have been avoided with a simple question whether we need the loo to start with. Again, waste ot time. Lastly, even though we were 10-15 minutes late to start the class (all things considered), around 3.15pm we started, and we left the room at 4.09pm which would be alright if only the class wasn't supposed to last for 1.5 hours. I was deeply dissappointed that we had so much time to spare and for £50 per person it simply didn't feel right - so I would not recommend this school to anyone nor come back to it myself, unfortunately... All in all, the teacher was nice and friendly - but it's the lack of structure and business approach to these classes that really upset me. I hope the school takes this feedback fairly and uses it to make the classes better because it does look like a very nice place with lots of fun activites and great people! P.S. some background music during the class would be appreciated.

The teacher, Emily was really nice and patient with my two 12 years old girls. They managed to make some lovely pots and were very pleased with the experience. I do recommend
