Recent reviews of Private Pottery Wheel Class with Wet Clay Building

• 5/5 from Karola Zakrzewska, attended Sep 2026: We went as a family for my husband’s birthday and had a great session. We built 3/4 pots each - 1 hand built and a few more on the wheel. We learnt some great pottery techniques and skills and also managed to paint one pot. Excited to see the finished items in a few weeks time!
• 5/5 from Janice Bartlett, attended Jul 2026: This was a great introduction to using the pottery wheel and a lot of fun. We produced 7 pots between us and are planning to do one of the courses later in the year.
• 5/5 from Victoria, attended Jun 2026: Booked this for my mother-in-law's birthday present, went on Saturday afternoon and had a great time, the girl showing us what to do was friendly and helpful, we both had a great time!
• 4/5 from Carole Hall, attended May 2026: We enjoyed the session although it would have been helpful if the tutor introduced herself and asked our names and advised what the session would involve at the start. We’d finished quite early so it would have been good if we could have painted our other pots or advised what to use at home.

• 5/5 from Neville Upton, attended Oct 2025: We had a private lesson with Juliet - great fun - we each had plenty of time 'trying' to master the wheel and made 5-6 pieces each. I'd thoroughly recommend - Juliet is brilliant (and very funny!), the venue is lovely - very chilled day, music playing and chatting. We're coming back!

We had a really fun private session with Julie where we got to try our hands at a variety of different pottery techniques. Very relaxed way to spend the morning! Can’t wait to pick up our creations! Would highly recommend!
• 5/5 from Helen Keane, attended May 2025: We went along to the village pottery for a birthday treat, it was a great experience. We could have happily spent the whole day there. We all made small clay pots, mainly on the wheel and a couple of hand moulded. Julie was excellent, we were offered tea and coffee when we arrived, given a demo on the wheel and straight into it. Julie was very entertaining too …. Would definitely recommend *****
• 5/5 from Claire Kearns, attended May 2025: It was fantastic experience! My mum and I did a pottery class where we got to use the wheel and make a handmade bowl as well. The teacher was lovely and explained everything well. Highly recommend this class!

• 5/5 from Chris Needell, attended Mar 2025: A fantastic time with a great pottery host. So helpful, patient and funny. Full of great hints and hands on help to help us produce bowls that we will be able to use. Using the pottery wheel was great fun. Will absolutely be going again with family/friends. Can’t rate this experience high enough
• 5/5 from Ross Matthews, attended Jan 2025: My wife and I recently attended a pottery class to celebrate our 9th anniversary, and it was an incredible experience! We took turns on the potter's wheel to create some clay pots, while the other made pinch pots when off the wheel. Our host, Julie, was fantastic—very welcoming and attentive. She took the time to clearly explain and demonstrate the techniques, and she was always available to assist us if things started to unravel. What we enjoyed most was using the potter's wheel. It was such a fun activity that allowed us to get our hands dirty and unleash our creativity. We found the whole experience to be quite therapeutic, making for a truly enjoyable few hours. I would definitely recommend this pottery class to anyone looking for a unique and engaging activity!
• 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: The session was a birthday gift. Julie was lovely, she gave very clear instructions and gave good advice on correcting techniques. The venue was good, it was a bit hard to find initially but we got there in the end. It was a private pottery session for two. Which involved hand building and pottery wheel work, as well as painting and some sgraffito work. I would say that the experience is worth it, we each made four pieces total and we had time to paint and work into them. I enjoyed trying out the pottery wheel for the first time.
• 5/5 from Gill Sims, attended Oct 2024: My birthday gift from my family. Fantastic venue. Loved it. Host was perfect made me comfortable and helped me so much. Don’t done price it was a gift. Loved all of it.
• 5/5 from Elizabeth Gathercole, attended Jun 2024: We all enjoyed it very much and wished we'd had longer!
• 5/5 from Rebecca Parrott, attended Jun 2024: Great experience!! Will definitely do it again!
• 5/5 from Dennis, attended Jun 2024: The class was a birthday present and I loved it. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. The class was very personal and I got the chance to throw several pots as well as working with a slab of clay at the table. The pot throwing was brilliant and so was the teacher Julie. She was engaging, professional and also very laid back which made me feel relaxed and at ease. I would definitely recommend the class to anyone with an interest in pottery. I am now thinking of going back for a different class as Julie does several different types. It was a pleasure to be taught by her.
• 5/5 from Georgie Price, attended May 2024: Me and my friend came as a Christmas gift. The host was amazing, and she taught us and let us create our own creations! Because of this we feel so proud of our own products! We had the best time and I really recommend anyone going, it’s really worth the money! Thank you again for hosting us!
• 5/5 from Mark Bell, attended Apr 2024: Julie was so very warm & welcoming we immediately felt at ease. I can’t say that we discovered any untapped talents, but we had an absolute blast resulting in fun, laughs & an eclectic set of tapas bowls. Highly recommended, what a lovely afternoon with a bonus of something to show at the end of it. The pottery experience was fun, but it’s Julie’s wit, wisdom & anecdotes that made it really special.
• 5/5 from Alix Richards, attended Mar 2024: Went for my birthday for a private class with my husband and it was so much fun! We made 5 items and Julie was fantastic. The wheel was my favourite part. Thanks for a lovely class x

• 5/5 from Andrew Clark, attended Nov 2023: Had a great afternoon on the wheel. Julie was extremely patient with us and we came out with lovely momento's for the day which may even find there way onto the Christmas tree.
