It was our first attempt at pottery, and we were both delighted with our (only very slightly wonky) results. The class was so much fun.

Thank you Ania
5/5 from Anna Cordes, attended Jul 2025: Had a lovely time at the studio - a little tricky to find, but there was signage. Have come away with two pots. Great taster
5/5 from Natelle Quek, attended Jun 2025: My husband and I had a great time! It was just the two of us and Ania our teacher was so great, explaining everything step by step, super patient and helpful and very friendly. We had never thrown anything on the wheel before so we were really nervous and intimidated but once we got going it was SO MUCH FUN and so therapeutic and relaxing (even when i screwed up at various points in the process!). We ended up making two items each in the alloted time. Hoping they all dry and fire ok, can't wait to collect our pieces! Thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon!
5/5 from Peter McGladdery, attended May 2025: We booked a wheel turning taster session as a birthday outing. Nice facilities - just right for our needs. Ania was enthusiastic, helpful and positive throughout - even when presented with some of our efforts. Really enjoyed the afternoon.

5/5 from Justyna Janusz, attended Feb 2025: Absolutlely fabulous class. Ania has taught in short the whole process od making a pottery piece, then presented in detail how to work on the wheel and helped to troubleshoot any error. I successfully created my first pottery. The studio is spacious and bright. It was great fun.
5/5 from Paul Gibbs, attended Feb 2025: We had the pleasure of taking a pottery throwing class with Ania, and I can honestly say it was an incredible experience! From the moment we started, Anita's pleasant and vivacious personality made the entire class enjoyable. She created a warm, welcoming atmosphere that allowed us to relax and truly embrace the process of learning pottery. Her patience was remarkable—she took the time to guide each of us, offering clear instructions and helpful tips. Whether you were a complete beginner or had some experience, Ania made sure everyone felt confident and supported. Her expertise and passion for pottery shone through in every lesson. Ania is an outstanding teacher, and I walked away from the class with new skills, a sense of accomplishment, and a great appreciation for pottery. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn or improve their pottery throwing technique!
5/5 from Shireen Haque, attended Feb 2025: Sunny was a great teacher. Very informative and helpful whilst still giving us the opportunity to figure things out ourselves and be creative. So friendly, lovely studio and all around an amazing experience.

4/5 from Elena Jatasonova, attended Jan 2025: The class was enjoyable, though in my opinion, two hours isn’t quite enough time to work on three items—I barely managed to finish my second It’s wonderful that the studio offers to send glazed items to your home address; that’s a really thoughtful service!

5/5 from Darryn Lichtenstein, attended Nov 2024: We really enjoyed the throwing class! The teacher was really great and methodical in explaining the steps we needed to follow, but also allowed us time at the end to try for ourselves, helping us when needed. Would highly recommend
