  • 5/5 from Vivian Schweihofer, attended Apr 2026: A wonderful way to spend a morning, I loved this class and highly recommend it. I was amazed at the progress we made over 3 hours and was thrilled with what I was able to create with my own hands, even with zero sculpting experience. Kevin has a wealth of talent and experience and patiently guided everyone through their own creations. We picked up lots of interesting bits of info along the way. I am already planning to go back to make a dragon face. I can’t wait!

  • 5/5 from Janice Bowman, attended Sep 2025: Chinese face sculpture. One to one guidance as my first time. He was professional and very patient. Very pleased with the outcome. Wish I lived closer would loved to make a whole set. Its well worth the money to create something yourself.
  • 5/5 from Clementine Wood, attended Aug 2025: Really great class! The teacher, Kevin, was really great and taught us in a really helpful way. Loved the class setting, and also the amount of time that the class allows.

We are keen to test our new 'face sculpting' skills with some at home pottery sets to continue our love for the hobby!

  • 5/5 from Laura Walsh, attended Feb 2025: We were greeted warmly and Keven showed us step by step how to work the clay into an expressive face. This demonstration of patience was amazing as we’re both novices. We had such fun. Definitely recommend to anyone.
  • 5/5 from Aneta Zajac, attended Dec 2024: Pure joy! The workshop was exactly what I hoped for, and Kevin was absolutely wonderful. He guided us through each stage at our own pace, offering support and encouragement without pushing his own ideas or passing judgment. He truly let us shape our work the way we envisioned. I can't wait to return for another class!
  • 5/5 from Jude Smit, attended Dec 2024: The teacher is excellent, highly skilled, kind and goes above and beyond to ensure the best experience for his students. His knowledge and expertise and attention to detail are so valuable and we will definitely take further classes with him.
  • 5/5 from Kathy Gray, attended Dec 2024: This was my second time to come by and sculpt a face. Session went much as the first. I’d do it again, so that should say a good bit. Some heating upstairs would be nice in these cold months.
  • 5/5 from Nicole Sousa, attended Dec 2024: Such a brilliant class! Teacher is terrific and so patient and kind and you really learn so much about the structure of the face. It’s such a calming experience, therapeutic, nice distraction from the outside chaos. Great as a gift, great for a fun day out with friends. Would absolutely go back!! So worth it!!! Thanks again
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: Brilliant! Kevin was a most helpful guide. Really chuffed I made my own greek sculpture in just one session! Too excited to pick the fired one up from the workshop
  • 5/5 from Kathy Gray, attended Nov 2024: Teaching was great and varied well across experience level. Neither myself or my partner had sculpted before and we both were given great help working with the clay; I have a lot of experience with portraits whereas my partner hasn’t ever drawn any and was given a lot of help understanding how to build up a face that was remarkable looking by the end. We’d both go back.
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: I had a wonderful time today with Kevin learning how to sculpt a face - he has a lovely way of explaining how to create lively and interesting features, whilst encouraging you to experiment. I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking to try something a little different (even if you haven't worked much with clay before!).
