Recent reviews of Hand Building Pottery Workshop: Make Your Own Mug

  • 5/5 from Saeed Moghaddasi, attended Oct 2025: I went to a pottery class last Saturday, 4th October, and I really enjoyed it. The teacher, Suzanna, was very entertaining and taught me how to make a mug. It was such an inspiring course — kind of like a yoga class. I felt all my daily stress melt away, and during the week after, I felt so refreshed. I definitely recommend trying this course, especially with Suzanna. No matter how old you are, it’s not just for children — and I promise you’ll feel different when you get back home afterward.

  • 5/5 from Poppy, attended Mar 2025: Anna was a brilliant tutor, so clear, patient and friendly. She adapted the class to each of our levels, from our youngest group member, only 3 years old, to the 3 adults too. Anna demonstrated things clearly and gave us great choices as we made our mugs. We all enjoyed the session and would love to return and recommend Anna.
