5/5 from Daniel Tab, attended Oct 2026: Teacher was very patient and friendly! Would totally do again
4/5 from Stephanie, attended Sep 2026: Great class, had a lovely time
5/5 from Alice Wood, attended Aug 2026: Luke was a great teacher Very fun experience Relaxing great vibes
5/5 from Bea Underwood, attended Apr 2026: Luke was a really patient and lovely teacher, created a relaxed atmosphere and did a great job of teaching the basics of a tricky skill in a short time! After a few test runs we made some simple pots then could choose if we wanted some of what we made to be fired and glazed.
5/5 from Cassandra Chevrette, attended Apr 2026: Had an amazing time! Our teacher was so attentive and helped us learn fast the basics!
5/5 from Judy Cumberbatch, attended Mar 2026: Fun, relaxing way to spend an afternoon and so therapeutic! Great teachers and totally hands on, as I was an absolute beginner. Made some items I didn’t initially think was possible!
5/5 from Juliana French, attended Mar 2026: This was such great fun! I booked it as a Mother’s Day treat for the kids and me to spend some quality time together. I was quite nervous before we started as it may seem a bit complicated for someone who hasn’t done it before - but Luke our Teacher was AMAZING! And the kids want to learn pottery as a hobby! We made such lovely useable pots, candle holders, vases and plates and will be going back to paint them! Thank you Luke for being so brilliant! We had a blast and it was super special
5/5 from Yagmur Ozturk, attended Mar 2026: Teacher was great and it was a very fun class.
5/5 from Maansi Luhar, attended Mar 2026: Luke was super helpful and welcoming, he taught us the basics in order to get to a starting to point to make whatever we desired. Really fun workshop, highly recommend.
5/5 from Fiona Thorpe, attended Mar 2026: We had a fabulous time at a 2-hour pottery workshop as part of my daughter's hen-do. The tutors were helpful and were completely relaxed about the fact that some people wanted to learn how to use a wheel, whilst others were happy just to have a bit of fun. It was very good value for money, and quite a few of us amde something worth keeping! Highly recommend.
4/5 from Jyoti Vekaria, attended Mar 2026: I really enjoyed the class as did my those who joined me. Our teacher was great and managed having a class of 7 smoothly, she also came round to help when we had gone off track. I loved that we had 3-4 opportunities to make our own products but the biggest shame was that for the cost of the class, we didnt get to take even one item with us unless we paid an additional fee, that was extremely disappointing as the class is not cheap. It wpuld be good if we could come back in a few hours to collect one item, as we travelled from far and it wouldnt be as easy to come back to collect our items.
3/5 from Abdallah Dannaoui, attended Mar 2026: I really thought I did a small bowl that someone else claimed as their own in the end…. So I paid £10 extra to polish a piece I didn’t create just because I felt awkward asking for my own work….i would have appreciated it if the teacher labeled them from the beginning to avoid such confusion…. I got confused at that point so I rolled with it but I was quite upset about it on my way back home just because I remember creating a mini bowl deeper and wider than what the piece I got assigned in the end… *please check the cameras if you have any* thank you! Overall, I enjoyed the experience though
5/5 from Liucija Padolskyte, attended Feb 2026: I really enjoyed this class! The teachers were very friendly and supportive, this was my first ever pottery class and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beginners class :)
1/5 from Charlie Scott, attended Feb 2026: Amateurish lesson in an unfinished studio. Unfortunately we paid for our pots to be fired and I have never heard back from them again. This was two months ago. No pots, no refund, no contact. One to avoid.
5/5 from Samuel Rahman, attended Jan 2026: A really fun experience for me and my mrs. Nice and small group. Lots of help and guidance from the teachers. Would highly recommend.
5/5 from Niamh Page, attended Jan 2026: Teacher was really nice and friendly - patient with all of us beginers. Had a lot of fun.
4/5 from Tasch von Uexkull, attended Jan 2026: We really enjoyed trying the wheel for the first time! It was very relaxing and we definitely felt inspired to try some more pottery classes. x
5/5 from Alice Yang, attended Nov 2025: Super nice experience, we had a great teacher and managed to get a good grasp on throwing for beginners!
5/5 from Ayo, attended Oct 2025: We had the most wonderful time at the beginners pottery class! From the moment we arrived, Maria made us feel so welcome and at ease, especially as most of us had never tried pottery before. She was patient, encouraging, and so passionate about what she does, taking the time to guide each of us through the process and celebrate our little successes along the way. It was also a birthday celebration, and Maria went above and beyond to make the birthday girl feel extra special. From kind words and thoughtful touches to making sure she got a few extra photos of her creations, it really felt personal and memorable. By the end of the session, we all left not only with something we’d made ourselves, but with big smiles and a genuine sense of achievement. We didn’t take our creations home yet, we’re coming back to paint them, and we can’t wait! Such a wholesome, relaxing, and joyful experience. Thank you, Maria, for making it so special!
5/5 from Kristin Light, attended Oct 2025: Maria was so lovely and taught us so much! We had the most wonderful evening and are really looking forward to coming back soon.
5/5 from Sarah Ghirmai, attended Sep 2025: I went here with my sister and we had such a lovely time! The atmosphere was calm and creative, and the lady was so friendly and patient in guiding us. We really enjoyed making our own pieces it felt relaxing and fun at the same time. It’s definitely a great place for spending quality time with family while trying something different. Highly recommend if you want a memorable and hands-on experience!
5/5 from Mark Hall, attended Aug 2025: Great time and a great host
5/5 from Ed Wong, attended Aug 2025: We had a great time! Cynthia was a really great teacher and was always on hand to help out. Highly recommend
5/5 from Aaron Banwait, attended Aug 2025: Cynthia is a true professional and you can tell her passion shines through her teaching. She was very patient with the 2 of us and it was a joy to be in her class. I would highly recommend giving this a go! Cynthia, thank you so much for your time, it was very enjoyable experience!
5/5 from James Hughes, attended Aug 2025: Our teacher was amazing! As a total beginner, she fully guided us and really helped us to make what we could especially after I went wrong a few times! She really helped us with confidence with her very encouraging words! I didn’t know what to expect before going in but absolutely loved it! Highly recommend! Only thing I would suggest, may be a bit of music but the experience was fantastic anyways!
5/5 from Elisa Giorgini, attended Jul 2025: Great experience with my pottery class with Luke! Luke patiently explained every step of the process encouraging participants to try out different tecniques. I will go back for the painting my pottery class! Thank you
5/5 from Tave Browett, attended Jul 2025: Teacher was so good and attentive - really helpful throughout even though there were quite a few of us! Was so much fun, would do again
5/5 from Robert Burgess, attended Jul 2025: We did a beginner’s class as it was our first time. Luke was really helpful and gave great instructions. With his help we are taking having a few pieces fired so looking forward to seeing how they look!
5/5 from Karen Hartley, attended Mar 2025: Great fun class and the teacher was a sweetheart. Only two of us that day which was even better.
