• 5/5 from Cara Staniforth, attended Oct 2026: We had so much fun! Rachel was an excellent teacher and it was so satisfying to actually make something and glaze it!
• 5/5 from Claire Bignell, attended Sep 2026: Went with friends for a new experience, it was great fun getting stuck into the clay and creating something that we could actually take home (at a later date once Rachel has put them in the kiln) and use. Rachel was friendly, patient especially after sorting out a few of my mistakes! The whole experience was really enjoyable.
• 5/5 from Rob Pratt, attended Sep 2026: Me and my dad had a wonderful time learning how to make pottery. The class was easy to understand, and Rachel was excellent at explaining if we struggled! We would 100% recommend coming here as a beginner.
• 5/5 from Karen House, attended Aug 2026: Rachel was very good at explaining everything and took time with us individually when some of our pots went wrong. We also overran - 2 hours is probably not enough to make and paint - but Rachel was very tolerant of the time overspill and we all left happy.

• 5/5 from James Knowles, attended Jan 2026: Never potted before but that makes no difference I still walk away with my perfect plant pot. Both Rachel and Kath absolutely lovely and incredibly knowledgeable on the art. I recommend cooking directly through them though so no middle man gets a cut. Cannot recommend enough!!!
• 5/5 from Tamsin Fielden, attended Dec 2025: What a lovely way to spend the afternoon. A great set up with all the equipment you could need from a potter with 40 years experience. Very patient and calm tuition. We all had a blast and walked away with lovely creations.

• 5/5 from Sam Laverick, attended Aug 2025: Booked the experience for my husband’s birthday because he was interested in getting a bit of experience in using the pottery wheel. This was exactly what he wanted and we loved it to pieces! Rachel is an amazing teacher, friendly, very patient, supportive and passionate. She guided us with clear instructions and we both managed to create and decorate two pieces that we absolutely love. Definitely recommend this experience for beginners especially, but also if you have a little bit of experience yourself. I think Rachel is very competent and knows how to guide you to bring out the best in your skills. Will definitely come back for other workshops because they all sound interesting.

• 4/5 from Katie Bradshaw, attended Apr 2025: Had a lovey couple of hours, found the pottery spinning quite therapeutic actually, which I didn’t expect!

• 5/5 from Hayley Cunningham, attended Jan 2025: Fantastic experience, Rachel was brilliant at going through step by step process and stepping in to help when I was getting into difficulties with my clay. The morning was such fun and a great experience of how to use the wheel, the TV makes it look so simple and easy and it definitely isn’t. Rachel is so accommodating and experienced mad our taster session so enjoyable can’t thank her enough. Getting to paint and decorate my vase on the same day was also a bonus thank you for our brilliant day my sister and I had such a good time.

• 5/5 from Victoria Hague, attended Aug 2024: Lovely experience, great little studio and very clear knowledgeable instruction from Rachel. She is really keen for you to make it yourself with minimal help but also wants to ensure you go home with something of food quality that you're really happy with. The class size is very small, max of 4 which makes it more personal. I bought this as a gift and we'd both love to go again! Excited to see how our bowl and vase turn out when we collect them

• 5/5 from Libby, attended Jun 2024: I had chosen the pottery wheel throwing class from a list of activities from my work's social bonus fund. Our teacher Rachael was great. I have tried wheel throwing before, but never managed to create anything I would like to take home. Rachael showed us what to do, and advised how to pull it back when it was going slightly wrong. I really enjoyed it, and look forward to picking up my plant pot!
