The teachers were brilliant and very patience. We all enjoyed the class. My only suggestion would be the practice piece was a small plate rather than a small bowl which was a bit fiddly

What an absolutely fabulous class! Loved learning about the history and culture of the art. The class just had everything. Brilliant teachers, lovely atmosphere, top quality materials, lots of fun smashing, the therapeutic element of reassembling and taking my finished piece away. One of the best classes I've ever been to. Thank you!

The hosts were great, although the experience was not much pleasant. Loud and noisy, was not time to relax. The glue fumes were really bad and not ventilation whatsoever, we ran out of glue and was a bit of a pain keep asking for more. Overall it was ok experience, I wouldn't do it again. Also for that price I would have expected a bit more.
