“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”

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

“What a smashing evening. Our teacher was attentive, explained techniques really well. And nice that we did both pottery throwing and working at the wheel and in a seperate session on the night learnt about hand formed pottery techniques. End of night - two items made!”

“I booked this pottery taster class for my friend’s 50th birthday. Neither of us had made pottery before and we both found the experience a lot of fun. Our teachers were really patient and informative about the process and made sure we ended up completing both hand built and wheel thrown pieces. I’d definitely recommend this class and will be back again myself. Thank you!”
