• 5/5 from Rebecca Jones, attended Oct 2026: First time trying pottery, myself & my cousin loved the class. Sophie the teacher was great! Clear in her instructions which were easy to follow, and she would go between each of us whenever we needed assistance (regularly!). As expected, the clay gets all over your clothes and shoes so wear stuff you don’t mind getting messy.

Our instructor was really informative with each step, took her time with each of us if we needed it and made a relaxing enjoyable atmosphere. We got to make a cup and a plate, this gets glazed by your choice of glaze at the end. All in all, the price was well worth the money. Something fun and different to do either with your partner or your friends. Thanks so much guys, high recommend! Xx
