The ambience was good, the music was fun and it was a lovely evening altogether!

  • 5/5 from Dylan, attended Apr 2024: Our teacher was Sienna, who we must say was very lovely, knowledgeable and welcoming. She taught us with simplicity and gave easy to follow instructions and demonstrations. As a group of beginners, never having done this before, we successfully made 5 pots. All materials provided and were easy to use. The space is easy to locate from the tube station and it’s well decorated and fun inside. So pleased and we had such a fun time, we all agreed we’d come back again!
  • 5/5 from Trudi Kent, attended Feb 2024: We had a work team event with 11 of us attending. Had a really lovely time, with varying levels of talent being shown but Sarah our teacher was really supportive and helpful and made a lovely cup of tea. A really relaxing and satisfying 2.5 hours. Would highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Michael Adeusi, attended Dec 2023: recently had the pleasure of taking a pottery class with Karla, and it was absolutely amazing! Karla is not only a skilled teacher but also incredibly patient and supportive. She took the time to show us different pottery techniques and was always willing to answer our questions without any hesitation. I felt comfortable asking for guidance, and Karla made the learning experience enjoyable. I highly recommend her pottery class to anyone interested in exploring their creativity and learning the art of pottery. You won't be disappointed!
  • 5/5 from Beatrice, attended Oct 2023: Sarah was great at making everyone comfortable and teaching how to do it. The environment was super cozy as i we were just 6 girls and we all had a pleasant chat. Also super nice illumination and examples of pots to take inspiration from all around. Loved it and definitely will suggest it to my friends!
  • 5/5 from Margaret, attended Jul 2023: Jack, our tutor, was very knowledgeable and informative. We were a mixed age group party of 8 (9-71 years), he taught us basic pottery skills, helped where necessary and was very encouraging throughout. We had access to unlimited amounts of clay and most of us made several items ranging from different shaped pots to sculpted frogs and butterflies. A lovely relaxing and productive afternoon.
  • 5/5 from Jonathan Cox, attended Jul 2023: We came as a family to celebrate my Mum's 70th birthday and had a brilliant time. Jack was superb, very knowledgeable and friendly and great at explaining how to do the task. He helped us find our creative flair and stepped in if he saw disaster looming! We had a great time, made lots of terracotta pots and learnt something new. Great activity and host - thanks Jack!
