- 5/5 from Harleen Kaur, attended Aug 2025: The hand building course was amazing, only within a matter of weeks I learnt how to handbuild large pots and have created my first flower vase!! Waiting for it to come out of the kiln but highly recommend going on this journey with the lovely Amanda!
- 5/5 from Lisa Peachey, attended Apr 2025: Amanda is a great teacher, listening to ideas and with a great deal of patience. The space is always full with a mix of makers which makes the class fun and inspirational.
