Can I book the Pottery session just for my child or do I need to also book on?
You do not need to book aswell as your child but we do recommend it as it is a lovely creative shared experience. However, some children may need more help, especially under 5s so you may want to take this into consideration before opting to do the pottery session too.

Recent reviews of Handbuilding Pottery Workshop for All Ages
- 5/5 from Abdul Chaudery, attended Aug 2026: It was an excellent session for 2 hours. The instruction booklet was helpful but you could also have the freedom to be creative. The instructor (francesca) was very helpful and was always on hand to help. The equipment was clean and lots of options. I would recommend for parents to keep kids entertained.
- 5/5 from Nicholas Pemble, attended Jul 2026: Relaxing and fun. Very friendly and great support. Had a splendid time
- 5/5 from Jessica Shepherd, attended Jun 2026: Great workshop! Fun and laid-back with lots if creative freedom. My 8yr old also really enjoyed it and made a little collection of things. I made a butter dish...excited to pick them up in a few weeks :)
- 5/5 from Eloise Lynn, attended May 2026: Lovely teacher and location. Very helpful as it was our first time handbuilding and we had a lovely experience. Would definitely recommend.
- 5/5 from Debbie Allardice, attended Apr 2026: We loved our workshop - we found it really relaxing and we felt really welcome. I went with my daughter who's 11 and it was great for both of us, and it's hard to find creative workshops that work for adults and kids so this was perfect. It's up to you to decide what you make, with lots of really helpful instructions and references - I made a plant pot and my daughter more ambitiously made a butter dish. Our host was lovely, very patient and informative and happy to give us lots of direction when needed. The space is really beautiful as well, and before the workshop we managed to squeeze in having one of their toasties which was delicious! Highly recommended.
- 5/5 from Mandy Simpson, attended Apr 2026: Class was excellent fun and engaging for my 12 year old daughter and her friend. They made a bowl and a butter dish and had calm instructions and kind guidance. I had a nice 3 hour session working next door in the cafe while they had their session. Would recommend x
- 5/5 from Alisha Pomells, attended Mar 2026: We had an amazing time. Highly recommend. The staff were really nice and kind aswell
- 5/5 from Eleanor Argyle, attended Mar 2026: Absolutely fabulous time. 17 of us for a hen party. Lovely cafe for pastries and coffee. Such a lovely occasion! Thank you so much.
- 5/5 from Crystal Jones, attended Feb 2026: This was a really great class and I would recommend to anyone looking to sculpt some pottery and you also get the chance to do your own glaze! I would say to keep an eye on time so you don’t have to rush at the end. Teachers were great!
- 5/5 from Hana Hayakawa-Gousseau, attended Feb 2026: It was all set when we arrived and the staffs were friendly and easy going. Our daughter (4years old) was nervous for a while but she got more relaxed as the atmosphere was not really like a “class” and she was happy with what she made in the class.
- 5/5 from Michala Clark, attended Jan 2026: My daughter and I loved our pottery class today. It was really relaxing and the teacher was so helpful. Nice surprise to also get to paint the pieces while we were there!
- 5/5 from Ben, attended Jan 2026: Was a lovely afternoon!
