4/5 from Carron Fox, attended Feb 2025: Really enjoyed making a small coil pot with this session. We'll organised. Welcomed when we arrived and we'd also ordered pizza, which came after the session. It would been useful to be told at the start that the clay wouldn't hold water when lots of example of vases were shown. The tutor gave clear instructions otherwise, provided a range of tools and it was an enjoyable experience.
4/5 from Caroline-May Huxlwy, attended Feb 2025: Great class, first time doing it and would recommend. Went at a great pace and teacher was really nice and friendly and helpful
4/5 from Lauren, attended Feb 2025: Sorcha was a great teacher. The class was fun and good for beginners. It was slightly too quick though and we spent a little too long practicing making coils, it would have been nice to be told sooner that we should now start making our real design so it wasn’t so rushed. The venue was really nice.
