“Aurelie's class was fantastic. Her communication before the class including reminders were great and we found the location easy to find with parking outside. We grabbed a lovely coffee and cannoli downstairs in the Cafe and went upstairs for a 2 hour taster class having never used a wheel before. I bought this as a Mother's Day gift for my Mum, who has always wanted to try throwing on a wheel. Aurelie was welcoming, a patient teacher who we found to be very positive and helpful. We made two items and can't believe how good they turned out. We are looking forward to seeing them dried and glazed ina. few weeks and are hoping to attend another class in the future together. Highly recommend.”

“Excellent taster session with a brilliant teacher at Aura Ceramics in Liverpool. Only 4 people per class so everyone gets plenty of focus and direct support. Having never thrown pottery on a wheel before, I didn’t think I would’ve any good, but we made a tapas plate and a small bowl (option for a cup instead of the bowl) and will find out in a few weeks how well I did once they’ve been dried, fired and glazed. Booking was easy, and we plan on booking more classes directly with Aurélie. Really enjoyable evening. If you are considering booking, do it! You won’t be disappointed.”

“Aurelie was a fantastic teacher and was very patient and gentle with her approach. She was friendly and we had a really fun time. The class was small which meant we felt we got the perfect amount of support to leave having made two products each. We'd absolutely love to do another class!”

“Absolutely loved making pottery in this class. The teacher was brilliant at showing and explaining what to do and how to fix our mistakes. She was incredibly patient. I had long nails and she helped me work around that. We made a perfect plate and mug and got to pick our own glazes. I would definitely recommend this experience to everyone.”

“We really enjoyed this class! I got this as a present for my grandad as he has always wanted to try using a pottery wheel. He said that the time just flew over for him as he was so focused and having lots of fun. The instructor, Sophie, gave very helpful demonstrations, explanations and encouragement. She struck a great balance between letting us try things ourselves and stepping in to help when we really needed it. I am heavily pregnant and I eventually got too tired to lean over the wheel and push the clay; Sophie was particularly perceptive in seeing that I just wasn't able to do it anymore and needed help, which I appreciated. We also liked the venue, it was very bright with natural light. We are looking forward to seeing our finished pieces!”

“This pottery throwing class was a surprise gift, and it completely lived up to expectations. We’d been wanting to try it for ages and the small group made it feel relaxed and personal. Aurélie is a wonderful teacher - patient, encouraging and clearly very skilled. It was also surprisingly calming, almost meditative. We were thrilled with the pots we created (far better than expected!) and can’t wait to collect them. It’s definitely left us wanting more - such a fun and rewarding class. We’d highly recommend this taster session and will definitely be back.”
