- 5/5 from Daria Zudenkova, attended Oct 2026: We had the loveliest time, the teacher was super helpful and guided us through the process always helping out with our vision. The studio is beautiful and very photogenic ;) Me and my friends had such a good time celebrating our birthday and making some super cute creations!
- 5/5 from Joni Nelson-Ferns, attended Sep 2026: Really great class with Maddie who was brilliant at teaching us but also recognising we were having a team social and wanted to have fun - we had a lovely time. Thanks Maddie & team!
- 5/5 from Gillian Sullivan, attended Jul 2026: We had a fantastic team (x13) pottery class on Wednesday! The instructor was fun, knowledgeable and patient. We had lots of laughs, encouraged each other and enjoyed stepping away from our usual work routine to do something creative together. The end results were also surprising brilliant and some unknown talent was discovered! Overall, it was a fun, relaxed, and memorable activity that brought the team together in a different way. I'd highly recommend it to any group looking for a creative and enjoyable team experience.
- 5/5 from Ananta Prakash, attended Oct 2024: Had amazing birthday workshop with friends!) Teacher was lovely, explained everything and helped a lot during the session. The atmosphere was relaxing, room was in a nice pottery style (perfect for photos). Overall, everyone really enjoyed!
- 5/5 from Sharda Rekha, attended Apr 2024: We have a great time at this event. For many of us, it was our first time attending a pottery class but the learning curve was quite simple and fun. The host made it very easy and simple to understand. The only challenge was we were confirmed for a 2hr session via email but they ended the class 1.5hrs into it. Maybe it was a typo but wanted to just flag it just in case it was. I will absolutely book this class again!
- 5/5 from Catherine Starkey, attended Feb 2024: We booked for a work team social between the finance department and the resources department. Laura, our teacher, was amazing, friendly, and helpful. The whole team loved the day and we would highly recommend this to anyone. (from Cat) Please see below some reviews from the rest of the team: Mary P: for Laura, she was friendly, welcoming, helpful, and got involved even when she did not need to. And also 5 star for the actual workshop, it was fun and creative. I have really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it. Verity: I agree with Mary's review. Laura took the time to get to know peoples names, checked in and greeted a really warm and hospitable atmosphere.
- 5/5 from Holly Hudson, attended Oct 2023: Great class - perfect for a work social, really great teachers and BYOB makes it even more fun :) Thank you!
- 5/5 from Tahera Begum, attended Jul 2023: We went for a birthday and had so much fun. The instructor was really patient and polite and helped us create whatever we wanted to on the day. The equipment and desk spaces were fab and very well organised. Highly recommend for those who want to do something fun & different with their group.
- 5/5 from Leah Johnstone, attended Jul 2023: We had an incredible time at the group hand building pottery workshop for our team event! Lenny and Steph were so knowledgeable and passionate, guiding us through the process with patience and skill. The class had a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, which made it easy for a bunch of lawyer to actually unwind and get creative. They were fantastic in bringing all of their equipment to our workspace and were very kind in helping tidy up afterwards. Overall, it was an enjoyable and enriching experience - Highly recommended! Thank you again!
- 5/5 from Oihana Barato, attended Apr 2023: Fantastic work social event, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and were so excited to get to take their little masterpieces home once we'd received them back from firing. Thank you so much for the incredible experience!
