Recent reviews of Pottery Class: Highland Cow

• 5/5 from Mandy Brundle, attended Apr 2026: Really enjoyed the session. Our teacher helped out where needed and showed us the way to, hopefully, a great result. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Definitely would come back another time
• 4/5 from Rhona Holliday, attended Mar 2026: An enjoyable way to spend a morning. Some of the instruction wasn’t very clear, a little more specific guidance and individual attention to check what we were doing and give direction at key stages would have been helpful, but still managed to produce a good result. Now just hoping it survives the kiln!
• 5/5 from Laura Lin, attended Feb 2026: Anne was very friendly and helpful. We finished with a coo each and are very happy with them. We looking forward to receiving them soon
• 5/5 from Kirsty Betteridge, attended Apr 2025: Had a great time creating my highland coo! The teacher was great and the venue had a nice vibe.
• 5/5 from Georgina Blyth, attended Mar 2025: Loved doing this workshop. Great tutor, worked just at the right pace, very knowledgeable, explained why we were doing the different steps, was there to answer any queries but let us just get on when the time was right. Can't wait to see the finished project - hoping the kiln God will be kind.
• 5/5 from Agnieszka Rejmus, attended Feb 2025: We thoroughly enjoyed our Highland Cow pottery class. The teacher explained everything in detail. Thanks to her guidance, even with no experience in pottery making, the cows turned out to look really good. Highly recommend if you want to try something new and have a lot of fun.
• 5/5 from Sarah Beever, attended Jan 2025: Brilliant Class. We didnt feel rushed or harrassed and had a lovely time. There was a great feeling generally at Crafty Monkey and the other members of the class made it even better!
• 4/5 from Heidi Cosford, attended Jan 2025: I had a submitted a request for a private Highland Cow Pottery Class. Class Benito responded to my request saying "Great News - Pottery Class Highland Cow is available for booking at your...." so I click on the book now rather than scrolling down the rest of the email where I would have found that they could not in fact accommodate a private lesson but what was being offered was a group lesson. Unfortunately when opening email on phone only the bit saying it was available with a link was visible and I was soo excited at it being available I clicked on the link and booked. If I had opened the email on a laptop or computer I would have seen that the venue were saying they could not accommodate a private lesson as they had moved their group lesson to that date and time and I could book on to that. If i had seen that message I would NOT have booked onto a group session and would have gone back to the venue asking them to provide dates when they could do a private lesson. Class Benito should have responded that it wasn't available as what I requested was not available. I was therefore disappointed when we arrived and found we were in a class of 9 people which for a craft lesson where the owner said they operate on small numbers was quite a lot more than the small numbers of 5 or 6 maximum I would have expected. Our instructor was friendly and helpful and explained things well allowing everyone to progress at their own speed. All materials and tools were provided to create your Highland Cow. The area was sufficient for the activity. I personally found the head the most difficult part and if it had been a private class I would have asked for support/advice from the instructor but as it was a group lesson didn't feel it appropriate or feel confident enough to ask. Whilst the group was not rushed at all by the instructor, the fact of being in a group made me want to finish as soon as I could which is a shame as I think if it had been a private lesson it would have been less stressful/more relaxing. If it had been a private class I would have rated it a 5 Star but unfortunately as it was a group lesson I had to rate as 4 star but for someone who is happy in group lessons I am sure they would rate 5 star. I feel bad for docking a star as the fault lies, in my opinion, with Class Benito rather than the venue but I personally didn't have a 5 star experience due to the stress of being in a group.
• 5/5 from Amber Prosho, attended Sep 2024: Great class, really enjoyed the class. The ladies who run the class are friendly and we're very helpful. All the materials are provided. Good value for money definitely go again.
