Emily was excellent. She was so professional and very kind. She very patiently took on helping our son with his modelling which he and I both appreciated. The place was welcoming and clean. Thank you!

Emily was so friendly and explained and demonstrated things really well. She was fine with going over thing again when needed and helped get things back on track when my creation went a bit ‘pear shaped’! It was great fun for our whole family, including our 10 year old son. Would 100% recommend this experience for anyone who’s always wondered about trying out being a potter!

Very disappointed in the customer service with the venue. I cut my finger open on a new kitchen knife the day of my taster session so had to get in touch last minute to rearrange. We must have called 2 numbers around 5 times each, send Instagram messages, emails and used their contact form. Nobody got back in touch and it had been almost a week now. This was a birthday gift and now my friends have lost their money, very disappointing.

I had a pottery class on 18/11 and it was genuinely such a great experience. The session itself was really fun, but what made it stand out was the teacher, Emily. She was super attentive, really informative, and you could tell she knew exactly how to guide everyone at their own pace. She also has such a calming aura – it made the whole class feel relaxed and enjoyable from start to finish.

really enjoyed the pottery class! The instructor was friendly and patient, explaining each step clearly and offering great guidance throughout. The studio was well-equipped and welcoming, and I loved being able to create my own piece to take home. It was a relaxing, creative experience — perfect for beginners or anyone wanting to try something new. I’d definitely recommend this class to others!

It was great fun, easy to follow along and you get to try and make multiple pots on the wheel plus an object by hand so you get a chance to try both styles. The teacher was lovely, super helpful, friendly and made the class really fun! I'd definitely recommend

This was such an enjoyable experience! Teacher gave group teachings and individual feedback which helped us create unique pieces. Would recommend as a solo activity or in a group.

Really fun evening and lovely teacher. As much as we enjoyed moulding items by hand, 2 hours on the wheel would’ve been better
