My daughter and I booked this for our birthdays. It was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! Linda gave us a masterclass and then coached us through the session. She was so patient and very skilled at what she does. We would highly recommend!!!

This was my second visit and it just whetted my appetite come back and learn more.
Linda is such a calm teacher and so encouraging. The classes are fun and it was great to meet other students who felt the same way. All pulling together!!!!

I attended the 2 hour Taster class with 3 friends and thoroughly enjoyed it. Linda was a great teacher, and very supportive. My friends all made pottery worth firing and keeping, sadly not me, but that did not detract from my enjoyment. Linda was very encouraging and I would recommend this taster course to anyone who has even a slight interest in pottery.

Crystal Galt • Attended Sep 2026



Linda is a great teacher, very welcoming, friendly and patient. It's a small class which is ideal as it means Linda has time for everyone. I completed the course with 6 different pieces. I loved it so much I plan on returning for another 3 week course to build on my skills.

Elizabeth Kerr • Attended Sep 2026



Linda is a very supportive and encouraging teacher. A very positive and comfortable environment. Small class size so we all got lots of personal attention. Looking forward to my next class.

Carolanne Connolly-Brown • Attended Sep 2026



Absolutely brilliant. Excellent teacher that really taught the techniques and explained why things were done that way. Small classes so that you get personal attention. Both Linda and Duncan are very relaxed and easy going and approachable. Would highly recommend.

As a complete beginner, I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to wheel throwing than my class at Linda Newman Ceramics. I was a bit nervous about getting on the wheel, but Linda made the whole process feel so approachable and stress-free. She is incredibly patient, breaks down the techniques perfectly, and is right there to help you centre your clay when it gets wobbly.
The studio has a wonderful, relaxed vibe decorated with beautiful fairy lights & stunning pottery - Linda even treated us to delicious homemade muffins & coffee, which made the experience feel so welcoming and special. I walked out so proud of the pieces I spun and can't wait to book my next session. 10/10 for the whole experience & a quick mention to Duncan for his input too.

I really enjoyed this pottery class! The teacher was lovely and shared lots of helpful information, with an excellent demonstration that made everything easy to follow. There was a lovely, relaxed atmosphere and good-quality equipment to work with. The great coffee was a nice bonus too! A wonderful experience that I’d happily recommend.

Marion • Attended Sep 2026



The three week class has been the best fun! Linda creates such a warm and welcoming atmosphere, not least with the delicious muffins and excellent music! Her teaching is straight forward which is what you need as a novice, and before you know it you have created something! Magic!


Grace Bosworth • Attended Oct 2026



A great way to spend 2 hours. The hosts were lovely they explained everything in a clear beginner friendly way and were happy to assist when we needed it. I really enjoyed the whole thing I will be booking the three day course very soon.

Liz Harris • Attended Oct 2026



Fantastic course, Linda is a brilliant teacher, so patient and encouraging)as was her husband). With only 4 in the class you got lots of attention. Added bonus the homemade muffins which were delicious. Would recommend highly

Lindsay Mudie • Attended Sep 2026



Great hands on experience. Teachers were kind and very patient. Took a wee while to get the hang of it but managed to produce something by the end of lesson.
Would recommend giving it a go.

Joanne Nicol • Attended Sep 2026



Absolutely loved this class. I was a complete beginner and was taught everything I needed to know. It is a great set up and so personalised even down to the hot drinks and cake on arrival and drinks throughout the class. Linda and Duncan compared and encouraging and I made pottery that I can actually use and be proud off. Will definitely book more classes. Thank you Linda and Duncan

Fiona Bannatyne • Attended Sep 2026



Such a friendly atmosphere, Linda really puts you at ease. Saw the taster advertised on Facebook and booked on a whim, so glad I did! Loved learning how to make my own pieces. Will definitely be back for the 3 week course!

Karen Collins • Attended Aug 2026



A spur of the moment decision as a space became available due to a last minute cancellation. Had a rare time - a great blend of chat, learning and sense of achievement. Looking forward to seeing the finished pieces.

Lynne Jordan • Attended Aug 2026



Having received a pottery wheel for my birthday along with some clay a few years ago, I was delighted at finding Linda's taster workshop whilst scrolling through Facebook.
Myself and two friends came along and were made most welcome by Linda and her husband, who was also on hand.
Linda demonstrated & explained what she was doing - she made it look so easy! Her enthusiasm was contagious!
We learnt how to centre the clay on the wheel - how to open it & pull the clay & the techniques & procedures involved in making a receptacle (of some sort)... ("anchor Lynne!") She was hands on - explained & demonstrated the processes & how to rectify any issues.
The atmosphere was very relaxed and great fun. We came away buzzing from a really pleasant afternoon & had all made something that was worth keeping. We are going back in a couple of weeks time to pick up our pieces. The two hours flew by in no time.
I'd be delighted to attend another of her classes - and I can't wait to get my wheel back out!

Ann - Belinda Colquhoun • Attended Aug 2026



Mother / Daughter fun time. A great way to spend some fun time with my daughter enjoying something new. A very relaxed and welcome atmosphere with a great teacher.

Scott McNab • Attended Jul 2026



Wee date day for myself and my wife. Great location. We were made to feel very welcome and had some excellent coaching. Plenty time getting our hands into the clay and practicing before attempting, and succeeding in making some useable pottery!

Jackie McCrea • Attended Jul 2026



What a fantastic experience for our first time throwing clay, welcome coffee and delicious muffins too. Linda was a great tutor, very experienced and great help. Absolutely loved doing this activity. Looking forward to collecting our finished pieces in few weeks. Will definitely be back to book a 3 week course. Excellent. Jackie & Diane

Jennifer Paton • Attended Jul 2026



Lovely pottery workshop with Linda. Learnt a lot as a novice. It was a very relaxed and friendly time with everyone. I'm looking forward to collecting my finished 'creations!'

Chris Dickson • Attended Jun 2026



This was absolutely fantastic!
Great afternoon spent with my family
Linda gave such expert advice and was very easy to follow we all successfully made bowls and mugs.
The fresh homemade lemon drizzle muffins were out of this world.
Thanks again and cant wait to see our work glazed and fired.
100% recommend we will be back for sure


June Findlater • Attended Jun 2026



Excellent, it was great to have a very clear explanation of the process, with lots of support and fun. Really enjoyed the whole experience.

Jane Mackenzie • Attended Jun 2026



We loved the class! Great tutoring by the lovely Linda, lovely setting - interesting, fun and rewarding experience

Clara Zwarts • Attended Jun 2026



I have always fancied trying a pottery workshop and I was not disappointed. I had a great time and would do it again! There was enough time to learn the basics and make a few thing. Lovely location and good instructions.

Georgia Desmond • Attended Jun 2026



I booked a lesson for myself, my sister and mum. As complete beginners who have never touched a pottery wheel before, Linda was an amazing, very welcoming, and patient teacher. The studio is very nice and cosy, the perfect environment to relax and concentrate! We all left feeling very fulfilled and happy with our creations.

Gill • Attended Jun 2026



What a fantastic few hours spent at Linda Newman Ceramics!
Two pals in complete focus, attention, with great support, lots of laughs and multiple attempts at creations, some even recognisable!
Great setting in Linda's cosy workshop. Linda is a terrific teacher and champion of all attempts!
A perfect pause and relax from busy worlds for a few hours. Would highly recommend.

Gemma • Attended Jun 2026



Absolutely loved this class and highly recommend!!
Linda was fabulous and explained techniques thoroughly. The class was super fun throughout. I got this for my aunts 60th birthday present and Linda even made cakes for the occasion...and they were delish!
Thank you so much


Marion Russell • Attended Jun 2026



What a fabulous couple of hours to spend in a lovely pottery studio being taught by Linda. The time flew while focusing on mastering a new skill, and we have even got something to show for it at the end! Please offer longer courses - we will be back!

Louise Coffey • Attended Apr 2026



Linda was so fantastic and we had a great time! If you’re using directions use Apple Maps instead of google maps we got a bit lost lol

Lucy Oliver-Brown • Attended Apr 2026



We had the best time! Amazing teaching and can't believe the items we made! Highly recommend

Caity Mattinson • Attended Mar 2026



Very friendly teacher and lovely studio space, patient approach gave loads of opportunity to learn, get thins wrong and go again. A very enjoyable afternoon.

Crystal Limjap • Attended Mar 2026



This workshop was such a blast. Linda was such an amazing teacher and super accommodating! My partner and I had such a great time. Would recommend to anyone wanting to try out pottery.

Aileen Paton • Attended Mar 2026



Loved it. So much fun I didn’t want to stop. You get to have as many attempts, and create as many items as you can fit into the time with Linda’s guidance. I actually made a few half decent pots for my first time at pottery lol. Linda is a great teacher and herself and her husband made us feel so welcome. Totally recommend it.
