  • 5/5 from Gary Ewing, attended Jul 2026: We loved the pottery class! Julian was a brilliant and patient teacher and guided us through the process of making our first pots on the wheel. We now have a better appreciation of the work and skill that goes into this and are looking forward to receiving our glazed pots!
  • 5/5 from Kimberley Green, attended Jun 2026: Fantastic experience with patient and friendly tutor. I've tried clay a few times over the years and this is the first time it's clicked for me - can't wait to see my finished work.
