• 5/5 from Allison Hayward, attended Jul 2026: My friend gifted me this experience for my 50th birthday. We had the most fantastic evening. Our teacher was great, he was very patient, very approachable, and extremely helpful. He made the whole evening very easy and very relaxing not at any point did i feel rushed. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone. I'm the least creative person on the planet but actually made something that resembles a highland cow which I was chuffed to bits with. I can't wait to pick Morag up and we will certainly be booking again :)
• 5/5 from Keira Duncan, attended Jun 2026: Booked as a birthday gift for my mum, we went together and had an amazing time making our cows. Would definitely like to come back and try something else.
• 5/5 from Bridget Bateman, attended Jun 2026: Really enjoyed making our cows and Will was a great teacher.
• 5/5 from John Bartlett, attended May 2026: Excellent workshop and excellent tutor, shame it was only for two hours, could have happily sat there for. Another hour refining things
• 5/5 from Claire Mabbett, attended May 2026: Good, clear instruction. Always walking around the room and ready to help. We had a very enjoyable time.
• 5/5 from Kerry Collins, attended May 2026: Great class, easy to follow instructions from fay Ideally 2.5 hours would have been better as we all panicked at the end However 8 cows that look liked cows were made and from the volume of chatter i think everyone had a really fun time. Highly recommend!
• 5/5 from Martin West, attended Apr 2026: Lovely little idea for a date for a couple or even to do on your own as a nice small group of about 10-12 people all very friendly in a nice setting. 2 hours flies by, the teacher took us through each stage but you have to keep up as time is upon you before you know it. The highland cows turne dout lovely and we can go back and paint hem ourselves once they have been kiln dried in a few weeks or you can opt to have them glazed by just picking a colour. Think the teacher could advise a little more on taking care where you hold the cow as you progress, it gets heavier as you add more to it and there is dange of squashing some of the work you had done if you dont take care inplacing your fingers and hands when handling it. And feel free to add your own touches to give it personality etc. Overall a great experience and creating something you wil treasure and have fun making.

• 5/5 from Sian, attended Feb 2026: This was a gift from a friend and was something we had never done before. There were only 6 of us in the class which was perfect. We were given a warm welcome and offered to sit at a table where each place had been set up with a board and some equipment. We were given step by step instructions with a visual demonstration and talked through each one. Hands on guidance was offered if needed. The whole experience was relaxing with no pressure to keep up with the group, we all worked at different paces. Would definitely do another pottery class and would recommend this one to other people.
• 5/5 from Britt Hodge, attended Feb 2026: Relaxing, friendly, fun class. Would definitely recommend.
• 5/5 from Samantha, attended Feb 2026: Simple, clear, step by step instructions given meant a successful, cute Highland cow produced. Just waiting for it to be fired, painted and glazed - exciting! Class was small, relaxed and fun. Loved the experience and now looking to find another class to enjoy. Highly recommend.
• 5/5 from Lucy Ilsley, attended Feb 2026: Our teacher was lovely! Brought a great fun and calming energy into the room, explained every step very clearly and was on hand to help when needed. We made a highland cow out of clay, ans I am so excited to get him back!! I loved how methodical and easy to follow the class was, and how we started with a lump of clay and finished with a sculpture. It was very relaxing and satisfying, I can’t wait to have him on my shelf at home!! I got this for my sister in law and she absolutely loved it, she want’s to come again with her mother in law! Easy to use gift card on website, no issues. Meant I didn’t have to book a time / date up front.

• 5/5 from Lynsey Bateman, attended Nov 2025: We (i went with my sister) had great fun making our highland cows. The group was nice and small so the teacher was able to help with anything you found tricky. All techniques were clearly demonstrated well by the teacher. Even tho im not artistic in any way at all, with the right advice provided by our teacher, i managed to produce a piece that resembles something similar to a highland cow! We loved it and would highly recommend!
• 5/5 from Heather Griffin, attended Nov 2025: This was a brilliant class. Easy to make, well broken down into easy steps so no experience needed. My friend and I were really happy with our finished Highland Cow and can’t wait to pick it up when it’s done. Thank you Fire Nest xx

• 5/5 from Tina Wright, attended Nov 2025: The class was excellent, the teacher took us step by step through the process.
