Recent reviews of Half-Day Wheel Throwing Pottery Class

  • 5/5 from Sandy Henson, attended Mar 2025: We were a party of four. Myself, daughter, daughter-in-law and 16 yr old grandson. We all thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and felt it was money well spent. Our teacher, Richard, was an excellent teacher, giving clear and detailed instructions both generally and individually as we worked. He was also very encouraging and has a sense of humour, making it a friendly, relaxed situation. I would definitely recommend this activity as a fun, rewarding activity to participate in.
  • 5/5 from Jan Mowat, attended Nov 2024: Loved this class! Richard is a very experienced ceramicist and an excellent teacher. Following a detailed but very straightforward demonstration, we then produced our own pots. Richard was on hand to guide and support us throughout the process. Absolutely great fun, would thoroughly recommend trying this class. This was a birthday present so I attended by myself, the others in the group were two couples, a great gift for others or to treat yourself.

With a fascination for the qualities of clay since taking pottery as an O level at school, I have held an undying passion for the material and have enjoyed working with it ever since. Beginning my adult journey as a studio potter, I have been lucky enough to have spent the majority of my life as an artist working from various studios and completing site specific work, commissions and pieces for sale in gallery and exhibition settings, much of it using clay in one form or another.
Having also gained experience in the field of Sculpture, Fine art and Installation, I have enjoyed obtaining degrees and post-graduate qualifications in these fields, as well as ceramics. It has been, and continues to be, a privilege to teach and lead thousands of people in projects and countless workshops to all levels and abilities.
Since starting Potterydayz, a hands-on learning pottery studio, I now enjoy teaching people many aspects of pottery, particularly throwing on the wheel and Raku firing.
Central to my life is the practice of making.
