• 5/5 from Wayne Mason, attended Nov 2026: What a great experience booked for my wife’s birthday and so happy I did, I had so much fun also. Teacher was awesome explaining how we go from nothing to something I would call useful at home for us who has never done this type of activity before we was learning a lot and we were really surprised how much you can do and create in the start package. Studio was nice and clean. I would say anyone thinking about it 100% give it a go

• 5/5 from Kirsti Clifford, attended Oct 2026: We booked the pottery throwing class as a wedding anniversary gift for each other, and it was a brilliant choice. Our teacher, Robyn, was friendly, patient and encouraging, and made it easy to relax even as beginners. She explained each step clearly and stepped in to help when our clay didn't quite do as we wanted! What we liked most was getting properly hands-on and doing something creative together, away from phones and everyday life. We laughed so much, definitly had a a bit of friendly competition over whose pot looked best, and we left with something to remember the day by. We were surprised at how relaxing and thereputic it was!. I’d happily recommend it as a gift or a date idea, whether you’re a complete beginner or just fancy trying something different.
• 5/5 from Nell Davey, attended Oct 2026: Me and my boyfriend went and had a great time. Reni was amazing. Showed us what to do, guided us through the process and helped when things went wrong. This is a great taster into pottery throwing. You get to make two and take home one for free. Fully recommend. We went in as complete beginners and felt like we left with so much knowledge and skill that we could do it again but better
• 5/5 from Ravinder, attended Oct 2026: Pottery throwing - Our teacher was very informative and helpful, as beginners she made it very easy for us to get to grips with the basics.
• 5/5 from Helen Murray, attended Oct 2026: Beautiful afternoon with Olympia she was fantastic and very patient with my eight-year-old daughter who the experience was for and loved it very much
• 5/5 from Georgie, attended Oct 2026: Two of us went for a class to celebrate a birthday. We were talked through the process with four others and then got stuck in, making two pieces each. Our teacher, Olympia, was so great - made everything clear and pressure-free. The workshop itself is a lovely space, we felt very relaxed and welcome. Highly recommend if you just want to have a go or you're keen to learn some basics for more long term skills.

• 5/5 from Mel Raymond, attended Oct 2026: Was friends reunion and I thought I’d suprise them. We had great fun and I think some will try and find somewhere local to have another go. Our tutor Robyn was excellent.
• 5/5 from James Trevis, attended Oct 2026: Fantastic experience with a wonderful tutor. Very patient and supportive throughout. This was our first experience of pottery throwing and didn't disappoint.
• 5/5 from Laurence Potts, attended Oct 2026: We had a wonderful time in the pottery class with Olympia she was fantastic, very patient and a great pottery teacher.
• 5/5 from Fahmida, attended Oct 2026: I have always wanted to try pottery and absolutely loved it. The teachers were so kind, patient and reassuring and made you feel so comfortable and not like an idiot. They’re right there with you to guide and help when needed which I loved. I was so immersed in it that I didn’t realise the 2 hours flew by so quickly. You have 2 attempts and pick one to keep for free with the option of buying the other. My group ended up paying to take both, we were too proud of our efforts and creations lol. These will be ready to collect in about 8 weeks. I highly recommend, it’s very therapeutic and just fun that I’m planning to go again very soon!

A brilliant birthday experience.
• 5/5 from Peter Chadwick, attended Oct 2026: This is the second time we’ve been to this class and we brought friends this time because we had so much fun. Robyn was great and so patient with us and enabled us to make things to be proud of. It’s a great thing to do and we would recommend it to anyone.
• 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Oct 2026: Spent a fabulous and very sociable couple of hours here with MaPS work colleagues with two excellent teachers in Robyn and Olympia. We were all blown away by the way that following the same (really clear) instructions, resulted in such a diverse range of pots, vases and jugs - every single one of us managed to produce one or two pieces to be really proud of. Looking forward to seeing the glazed results in a few weeks and have been actively researching local pottery classes already. Highly recommend this as a group activity :)
• 5/5 from Natalya Constantinou, attended Oct 2026: It was a great experience for all. Learned a lot and was definitely humbled a few times!

• 5/5 from Nethma Wimalasuriya, attended Oct 2026: Very fun and interactive session, the instructor was very funny and kept the session entertaining throughout.
• 5/5 from Catherine Howarth, attended Oct 2026: I booked this pottery taster session as a birthday present for my sister, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We were a small group of six people, all extremely friendly. The teacher was excellent, she made everyone welcome, explained the basics clearly and was adept at rectifying our mistakes! We’re looking forward to collecting our glazed and fired pots in a few weeks’ time.
• 5/5 from Tamsin C Hartley, attended Oct 2026: We LOVED it!! The teaching was amazing - thank you Olympia and Eldar. I can't believe how quickly the time went. I think we're all hooked now!
• 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Oct 2026: It was a lovely session! What we loved the most was the fact that it eas informative about clay and the process it goes through and what really came through was our teachers passion for it! The demonstration accompanied with the teaching and support was faultless and that balance of positive encouragement goes such a long way when you're learning something new! Super fun!
• 5/5 from Anthony Ward, attended Oct 2026: Always wanted to try so we did a taster throwing season with Ezster for our anniversary and it surpassed all expectations. Guided all the way through with plenty of potter wheel time and great tuition thank you - thoroughly enjoyable- would highly recommend and will go back.
• 5/5 from Ian, attended Oct 2026: We booked a private taster session for 5 people for my wife's 50th birthday. I couldn't recommend this experience more highly. The instructor was engaging, knowledgeable and made the whole experience very enjoyable and funny. Would definitely do the experience again.
• 5/5 from Graham Walker, attended Oct 2026: Great facility, clear instructions, nice group of people. I had to reschedule this a few times and the admin team were really helpful.
• 5/5 from Julie Harris, attended Oct 2026: A wonderful first time experience of pottery throwing. We were fully guided throughout to achieve so much more than we thought we could. We had some laughs too and would highly recommend giving it a try.
• 5/5 from Madihah Nazam, attended Oct 2026: First time pottery making. Olympea was absolutely amazing. Very attentive and supportive. The environment was very calm. Would recommend definitely going back.
• 5/5 from Jason Laverock, attended Oct 2026: We had a wonderful time. Remi was a superb teacher who showed us what to do, rescued our creations when they threatened to go awry, and was patient with our efforts and positive and generous in her encouragement. Great value for money as we went over by half an hour but never felt rushed. It was great to be paired up and in a small group. We had a great afternoon and can’t wait to see our creations. One of our number will definitely be coming back for more!
• 5/5 from Charlene Santiago, attended Oct 2026: I was there because my brother was in town visiting and he's a bit more experienced in pottery throwing than I am. He enjoyed the experience and thought Robyn gave tips as well. Robyn was great at explaining everything. The music wasn't too loud and was perfect ambient background music. Everything was clean and well-explained. Class of 6 people where 3 people work on the wheels at a time and the other 3 can watch and have a moment to rest and learn. I loved the professional-looking pieces at the front that were for sale. I bought two from Robyn, one perfect mug and one spoon rest as a gift for my in-laws. There's a tea, hot choccy, and coffee table at the front so it felt like a very relaxed experience amongst friends.
• 5/5 from Jayne Read, attended Oct 2026: The class itself was excellent the teacher was knowledgable and clear in her instruction but made the class fun and was great at correcting any little mistakes but being encouraging at the same time. It was a taster class of 6 people which was just right and a very friendly bunch so we had a good laugh whilst throwing our 2 pots each. The occasion was my daughter’s birthday and my Mothers Day present and gift vouchers were originally purchased by my son and we booked for Sat 30th May. Unfortunately I was taken ill a couple of days before and was too ill to attend so my daughter rang you to rearrange but was told this was not possible so close to the arranged date. This felt a little unfair as it was a genuine and unavoidable reason for wanting to rearrange. As it was booked as a gift for both of us we felt obliged to rebook so the experience cost twice as much as it should have.Whilst the day itself was very good this policy would discourage us from booking again or recommending to friends & family which is a real shame.
• 3/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Oct 2026: i ordered this for my mums birthday so her and my sister could go as i don’t live near them. They told me that they both enjoyed the pottery side of the session. However, the instructor was not helping them at all. My mum is in her late 60s so she has a few mobile issues in which she needed help from the instructor and they told me that the instructor spent most of the session with the other couple and didn’t really help her at all. He would turn around and tell her about 5 words and then turned back to the other couple. They didn’t remember his name but they said that they would love to keep doing pottery but would not come back here again fully due to the lack of help and guidance from the instructor
• 3/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Oct 2026: The instructor’s pottery skill is incredible, and her hands-on help when saving a pot was super kind and helpful.
• 3/5 from Laura Quinton, attended Oct 2026: I do feel it was overpriced as Reni was so lovely but we didn’t start on the wheels until 12pm but it started at 11. When we did we were told we would have two gos - on my second go she did it for me which I did not want as have paid to do it myself. She coned and pudding’ed it both times and said ‘here you go’ so I was confused as I thought I could do it and would rather have it done all by me apart from small helpful interventions - my second item I barely touched and felt a bit confused as hadn’t actually made it myself at all. She was so lovely and kind and really optimistic and made it a fun vibe - however I felt it was rushed and I have paid short of £100 for making only one myself and only actually ten minutes out of the two hours. I wish I’d have made the second one by myself as didn’t get to do it
• 5/5 from Mantas Visciulis, attended Sep 2026: Teacher was clear and attentive to everyone's progress and goals. Warm and welcoming atmosphere. Would love to come again.
