• 5/5 from George, attended Jul 2026: Sophie and I had a fantastic time getting to grips with the basics and learning how to throw on a wheel. A bit more stuck in the mud than floating like Cassius Clay, Vanessa our class teacher helped to ensure we all managed to learn and take much of the process in, even if my mind was left spinning faster than the pottery wheel at first! If you’re considering the class but not sure if it’ll be for you, don’t hesitate and give it a go - you’ll have a really fun time.

• 4/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended May 2026: I went for a taster throwing class and had a lovely time! The studio was bright and airy with a relaxing feel. We learned some basic spinning approaches for beginners and got to play around with making different shapes in a low-pressure environment with help when we needed it. Even got to keep a couple of our favourite pieces! I’d definitely come again.
• 5/5 from Gillian Bakr, attended Apr 2026: We had the most amazing time at Sheen Pottery. Our teacher gave very clear instruction and had the perfect balance of us producing our own work but being on hand to help get us back on track. The session was fun and we were surprised with what we were able to create. I would highly recommend the beginner class and will definitely be returning. Thank you for a wonderful morning.

• 5/5 from Jane Evans, attended Feb 2026: What a wonderfully creative way to spend an afternoon learning the basic skills of pottery throwing! Adam was an enthusiastic and patient teacher throughout, expertly guiding us beginners to perfect our first cylinder pots shaped on the wheel! The Sheen Pottery studio is a lovely light and airy space for small groups to try their hands at new skills shaping clay. I’m excited to return and collect my fired and glazed pots. This taster session has definitely given me the confidence to participate in a longer pottery course at the studio in the future.

• 5/5 from Caryn Jenner, attended Jan 2026: I loved this pottery class! The instructor was fantastic - very patient and encouraging. She demonstrated each step several times and also helped each of us individually on our potters wheels. My first pieces were not great, but we had plenty of time to practise and by the end of the class I felt like I was getting the hang of it and I was very pleased with the pieces that I chose. I was given the pottery class as a Christmas present and went on my own, but I felt very comfortable as part of the small, relaxed group. I really had a brilliant time and am hoping to go back.
• 5/5 from Catherine Baines, attended Dec 2025: I-a pensioner and retired for nearly 25 years-tried throwing pots for the first time in my life at a Taster Class! Sarah was an excellent teacher and so patient in helping me create two pots that were roughly round in shape-photograph attached as proof. Really enjoyable as well as being a good workout for the upper body.
• 5/5 from Hannah, attended Dec 2025: I got tickets as a present for mum and my sister in law, we learnt the basics of pottery and even managed to make, bowls, small vases and simple candlestick holders (with a bit of help from the tutor!) she was incredibly helpful and welcoming, the venue was lovely small but spacious enough for everyone, it was just a great experience all together we were in a group of 6 and it was great to get a taster of what it's like to throw pottery!
