Recent reviews of Pottery Wheel Experience

  • 4/5 from Camilla Soravia, attended Aug 2026: The teacher was great, gave clear instructions and was supportive. Working at the wheel was super fun. It was easy to get the gift card. Would have liked to bring the second piece of pottery home as well and to have a longer class to try an additional technique.
  • 5/5 from Matthew Suter, attended May 2026: Wonderful teacher and a great introduction to the pottery wheel. Recommend!
  • 5/5 from Lynne Tobias, attended Feb 2026: Brilliant taster session for pottery wheel. Our teacher Angel was sooooo patient and helpful with two complete beginners! We really enjoyed it
  • 5/5 from Emma Higginson, attended Feb 2026: Fabulous experience our teacher was lovely, she was patient and encouraging. We all agreed we would definitely like to do this again. The only minor negative was there must've been an issue somewhere with the booking process as the venue did not have us booked in, thankfully I had my emails to show we were booked in and paid for.
  • 5/5 from Peter Smith, attended Oct 2025: A great experience with a lovely teacher x
  • 5/5 from Lewis Holt, attended Jun 2025: As a total novice to pottery making and well known disaster at arts and crafts and creative assortments I thoroughly enjoyed the experience which I booked for my girlfriend for her birthday. The teacher was great at explaining and helping out in such a professional and friendly way. I can’t remember her name but she mentioned that she went to university in Sweden, she deserves high praise! It was a nice and calming environment for such a small group (4) Will recommend to anyone looking for something different! I struggled with making the bowls so I went rouge and made something else (I’m not even sure what it was) but the teacher was very understanding and let me roll with it. My girlfriend really enjoyed herself and my praises went even higher thanks to this great session!
  • 5/5 from Christine Birch, attended Feb 2025: Super, patient and helpful tutor who encouraged and guided us novices with positive comment. An hour and a half flew by. A lovely Christmas gift from my kids. Would highly recommend.
