I was given this as a birthday gift. The venue was lovely. In the back garden of a family home. Mother and daughter running classes. 6 wheels available for the throwing, close together but enough spaceI was given this as a birthday gift. The venue was lovely. In the back garden of a family home. Mother and daughter running classes. 6 wheels available for the throwing, close together but enough space each. Good tutorial and help when needed. Just enough time in the class to settle in, watch the tutorials and explanations, then to throw our own pot, dry and glaze it. Really enjoyed it! Can't wait to pick up the fired item.

Excellent session, expertly guided. Went in with pretty low expectations about what I'd be able to produce as a total first timer, but managed to produce 3 'olive' dishes. It was great fun and I was joinedExcellent session, expertly guided. Went in with pretty low expectations about what I'd be able to produce as a total first timer, but managed to produce 3 'olive' dishes. It was great fun and I was joined by my bestie (this was my birthday gift to her) and she loved it too! She was another first timer and produced 5 varied items. All credit to our teacher who was really patient and helpful, rescuing many pots which had gone array. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it - book it! You won't regret it! + more

Ffion was a fun, bubbly and great teacher/facilitator, providing helpful guidance and tips (and a great selection of pressed flowers/leaves) but also giving us time and space to enjoy the experience with each other. We also learnt a very cool and unique new skill of copper foiling, which was very interesting. Highly recommended! + more
