  • 5/5 from Hilary Hallam, attended Apr 2026: Very enjoyable evening. Nice helpful, patient teacher and friendly group. I made 3 items and plenty of clay available. Pity it was only 2 hours as it was fun.
  • 5/5 from Alison Murfitt, attended Jan 2026: This was a present for my daughter and was very easy to organise. The teacher was great really friendly and helpful. She made the instructions very clear and easy to follow. We made a pot and a coil pot. The venue was easy to find but would have been difficult for anyone with mobility issues. Really enjoyed our experience thank you.
