Recent reviews of Sculpt and Sip Class

  • 5/5 from Audrey Orimoloye, attended Aug 2026: Amazing teacher! She was soo patient with us. It was a great sensory experience ;)
  • 5/5 from Ruvimbo Banza, attended Aug 2026: The teacher was great! It was a really fun time where we got to express our creativity and love for art!
  • 5/5 from Clare, attended Aug 2026: Really good fun. A lovely, relaxing experience.
  • 5/5 from Sharanjeet Flora, attended Jul 2026: Good atmosphere, fun group of people. You can have as much clay as you need to make as many items as you want to in the two-hour period.
  • 5/5 from Martin Price, attended Jun 2026: Had a great time doing the class even though it was apparent I have zero talent. I’d definitely recommend this to other people.
  • 5/5 from Louise Treacy, attended Mar 2026: Great fun, something different to do. Chantelle was a great host. Relaxed atmosphere would recommend.
  • 3/5 from Miss S Dowen, attended Oct 2025: Our teacher was fab and a fun time was had by all, however a point of points that really should be addressed: the room lighting in the room was extremely poor (small wall lights only and no windows) meaning it was way too dark also this is sold as 'sculpt and sip'....no drinks provided in the cost so should actually be sold as 'sculpt'
  • 3/5 from Nadia Abrar, attended Oct 2025: Something different to do and although we did enjoy making our masterpieces didn’t feel it was value for money. Not much teacher interaction or direction and could have done with some more tools, maybe some shape/cookie cutters. Also the sip and sculpt is a bit misleading at least one free drink should be provided within the activity or should be called sculpt class really. Overall was ok but definitely overpriced don’t think I would do it again or recommend.
  • 5/5 from James Griffiths, attended Sep 2025: Great afternoon date
  • 1/5 from Brenda Kabue, attended Sep 2025: I’d have rather just bought my own clay and did this at home. It wasn’t an engaging class at all. The two hours just felt long and dreadful. The “teacher” was scrolling on the phone the whole time.
  • 5/5 from Nichol Ross, attended Aug 2025: Really good fun! Maybe take a packet of hand wipes or small towel as gets very messy Overall great teacher who supported us and gave us some great tips
  • 4/5 from Louise Broadhead, attended Jul 2025: I had great fun at the sip and sculpt class. Our teacher was really friendly and helpful. Everyone in the class had a good giggle. We were given plenty of clay, my only criticism would be the lack of tools, we all got the same 3 tools, perhaps could have done with rolling pins, other moulding tools etc. we all did a pinch pot and then were left to our own devices but if you’re not of a creative mind, I think you would struggle. Someone on the table next to us just had loads of pinch pots as they didn’t know what else to make. Overall it was great fun and I enjoyed it.
  • 4/5 from Nanette Lane, attended Jul 2025: A really fun evening. we were given some direction from the teacher and then left to be as creative as we wanted/were able. The teacher came round and offered support and advice to anyone. It was a small group but just about right so a chance to speak with other participants. Only downside is that the area within the bar is very dimly lit making it quite hard to see what we were doing. I did come home and smooth out a crease lumps and bumps that I hadnt been able to see at the time.
  • 5/5 from Afifa Ahmad, attended May 2025: Very relaxing. Sculpted at own pace. Instructor is super chill and very helpful.
  • 4/5 from Lauryn Wa, attended May 2025: Really good experience - something different and everyone enjoyed! Our teacher Kazia was really nice. The venue was nice as well. Don’t think it should be called sip and sculpt if there isn’t a drink provided in the price. To buy the drink, we had to wait in the long queues in the bar which took time from the session, we weren’t able to order from the room we were in so this could be an improvement for the future. Would be helpful if there were some inspo pictures to use as guidance as we were unsure of what to make.
  • 3/5 from Omar Daley, attended Apr 2025: The class overall was good but there was limited interaction between groups and not much explanation as to what the tools were for. The teacher and her assistant were nice enough but I think for the price it should be a little bit more interactive and engaging.
  • 3/5 from Kate Eaton, attended Apr 2025: There was barely any instruction during this class so I don’t feel I actually learnt anything. The lighting in pub was very dim and not good for a creative activity. I had good fun with my friend and the instructors were friendly, but they didn’t seem to know much about pottery.
  • 5/5 from Harkirat Rahania, attended Mar 2025: Kia was brilliant, and we all loved the class! Family members 2-60 yrs old all had fun!
  • 5/5 from Charlotte Foulds, attended Aug 2024: We booked this for a friend's birthday. The teacher was really lovely and helpful. The venue was great, and all the materials provided were excellent. We sculpted some pinch pots, coasters, jewellery dishes, incense holders, etc.
  • 4/5 from Aaliyah, attended Aug 2024: I took my cousin to the class and we both really enjoyed it. We’d both never did anything like this before and felt that the teacher explained things well and was always there to help if we needed any additional support. The atmosphere and vibe was also really nice and we’d definitely go again.
  • 5/5 from Charlotte Stanbridge, attended Apr 2024: A date night. We both had such a great time. Venue was really nice and the teachers friendly and knowledgeable We were surprised how much we could make in the time. We both took 3/4 items away with us We would definitely do a further class!
  • 5/5 from Amber-Li Clarke, attended Apr 2024: Just wanted to try something different, me and my partner really enjoyed the evening! The two ladies hosting were very friendly and helpful. Clay and tools were provided. They helped guide the class by showing how to make a pinch pot, but encouraged people to make whatever they wanted. Good value for money and definitely recommend! We enjoy having some creative freedom with the night.
  • 5/5 from Jayne Hukins, attended Apr 2024: Girls were lovely, class great. The only criticism, it's calla sip and sculpt class, this intimates there is a drink included in the price
  • 5/5 from Hannah Roden, attended Feb 2024: k’zayah and kia made the class so enjoyable - super fun and lovely chill vibes, thanks
  • 5/5 from Mina Makridi, attended Dec 2023: Lovely event and pub with a great host. Highly recommended to anyone want to trying something new!
  • 4/5 from Rachael Cove, attended Nov 2023: The location and room set up was great. Good materials provided. It would have been useful to have more of a tutorial in how to use the tools.
  • 4/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2023: Good session, nice location and friendly tutors. Good activity idea for couples, friends or family
  • 5/5 from Jennie Clarke, attended Aug 2023: Sip and sculpt! Great fun activity for my friend's birthday. Easy going atmosphere both the teachers were knowledgeable, engaging and easy going. All materials were provided as well as materials to transport our creations home. Great value for money thank you :)
  • 5/5 from Lucy Wollacott, attended Jul 2023: Laura was a great host - really friendly and very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend and looking to book other classes in the future!
