  • 5/5 from Laura Page, attended Dec 2023: Suzan and Mandy (who came along to help) were absolutely BRILLIANT. Suzan made accommodations for us being a larger class than usual (35 of us for our all company Christmas event). The hand clay was such a great activity to do together to showcase everyone's individual creativity and approaches to the same task. Suzan was so helpful, setting up a call to coordinate, travelling to the space we had booked for the day, bringing all the equipment, giving us direction and guidance, making the clay-making task so clear and helping package our pots up safely to take away. Would 100% recommend! Thanks Suzan :)
  • 5/5 from Gemma, attended Dec 2023: Great value for money, knowledgable and friendly team. A really fun, yet calm & mindful activity.
  • 3/5 from Anna, attended Dec 2023: Lovely lady and class. Although, I think there could have been more instruction around joining the seam of the pot and for adding the base to the pot. Would have been nice to supply some stamps or articles that could have been used to decorate the pots as well? A box to take them home in could have been really useful too! Anna
  • 5/5 from Maddie Williamson, attended Jun 2023: We did the pottery class for a work social & everyone loved it - would defo recommend!
  • 5/5 from Oliver Webster, attended Dec 2021: Brilliant class, everyone had great fun, and Suzan was helpful and accommodating as we had some people having to join over zoom. Thanks!
  • 5/5 from Sally Max, attended Feb 2021: We loved this class. Suzan sent out everything we needed in plenty of time. The class was really easy to follow and the whole family could take part. Lots of spare clay for more projects too!!

Suzan fell in love with clay in her early teens in Turkey but didn't have the chance to get her hands dirty until after she came to London and enrolled on a part-time course in 2004. After finishing her BTEC certification classes in Kensington and Chelsea college Suzan practised her pottery in a studio share in Kilburn.
In 2017 Suzan finally opened her own studio in Plaistow where she designs and creates all of her own work which is inspired by her mixed family background, travels and love for natural objects. Her homeware collection offers a handcrafted alternative to daily life otherwise filled with mass-produced items.
