  • 5/5 from James Denbigh, attended Jun 2026: The instructions were clear and materials were plentiful. The teacher there was also very nice and cheerful. We started by making a simple bowl from the air dry clay and we were then given the freedom the create what we wanted using the various sculpting tools and techniques. At first I was a bit confused when travelling on the way there as I was given the wrong address at first on the email and needed to ask. I got a quick response at least and I wasn't too late.

  • 5/5 from Rachel Whitehead, attended Mar 2026: I bought this for my mums 60th birthday to spend quality time together and we had so much fun.

  • 5/5 from Wilbur Rodrigues, attended Feb 2026: Never tried sculpting before but this was a really good experience. The teachers were really helpful and supporting would definitely recommend.
  • 5/5 from Laura Mitchell, attended Jan 2026: The teachers were fantastic, so helpful, so generous with the materials. It was such a relaxed atmosphere and we were free to be as serious or as unserious as we wanted! They were supportive and made time for every person.
  • 5/5 from Jacob Gilbert, attended Jan 2026: Layla and Freya were the best hosts, they were clear with their instructions and very chatty and friendly while giving you space to make your own fun sculptures and clay models
  • 5/5 from Catherine Duffy, attended Jan 2026: Both of the teachers were really lovely angels. Both were chatty, confident and involved themselves with everyone whilst going around the room explaining different techniques. They had extra tools on hand and were really supportive with your ideas and helping you create the best thing you can. They even gave us some clay to take home which was the best. Couldn't have rated them better! The only thing that would have been good would have been to have had extra bar staff on as we had to take 10 mins away from the clay to go get a drink and as its only 2 hours it ended up eating into the time a little bit, but obviously this is not a reflection of the experience, just how busy it was on the day! :) would definitely recommend!
  • 5/5 from Nathan Morrisroe, attended Nov 2025: Really good experience, our instructor Sarah was great always giving tips and advice. Would 100% recommend and will be doing another class
  • 5/5 from Ammani Bashir, attended Oct 2025: We loved Sarah and Sophia - really chilled, casual, loved the level of interaction and freedom to create and our pieces are a great memento. Will definitely be back.
  • 5/5 from Demilade Orehin, attended Oct 2025: Great Teacher. My first time and definitely not my last time. Fun class
  • 5/5 from Bethany Golding, attended Sep 2025: Fantastic class with a very personable and inspiring teacher! We loved it.
  • 5/5 from John-Paul George Stapylton, attended Aug 2025: It was a brilliant session, very light hearted and a great way to spend a few hours, the teacher was knowledgeable and always ready to lend a hand would recommend, and we were given free reign to create what we wanted! Thanks for such a great time
  • 5/5 from Danielle Jones, attended Jul 2025: I did the sip and sculpt workshop with my friend and neither of us had done anything like it before. It was so fun. Tania and Sarah were the best teachers, so positive and enthusiastic. Would highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Jenna Horsfall, attended Jul 2025: Fun was had by all! The teachers were incredibly friendly and helpful, guiding our group’s creativity every step of the way. We had a fantastic experience and would definitely recommend it to others!
  • 4/5 from Michelle Firth, attended Jul 2025: Teacher and her assistant were lovely and very welcoming.Me and my friend had a lovely time, thank you!
  • 5/5 from Callum Dyer, attended Apr 2025: Our group of 9 thoroughly enjoyed the sculpting with very helpful and lovely teachers. We did it as a team social, would highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from John Wayman, attended Apr 2025: This was an unexpected pleasure, nervous about what it would entail once we had the introduction and the ladies showed us what to do it was funny how everyone because focused but still had a laugh. Definitely worth the money and time.
  • 4/5 from Gemma Thomas, attended Apr 2025: The sip and sculpt was great. There was a guided session and a free form sculpt what you like session, which provided good variety. The course leaders were great but the echoing in the courtyard made some of the instructions difficult to hear. Overall great fun though
  • 4/5 from Jane Pither, attended Apr 2025: Teacher and assistant were friendly and helpful. All equipment was ready for us. Great venue and really enjoyed the session - especially the freestyle part. Gift card easy to convert into a booking.
  • 4/5 from Nicole Godfrey, attended Apr 2025: The class was great and we really enjoyed making the sculpting pieces. I just wish there was a bit more tutor led examples/explanation. There was no direction on how to use a lot of the tools that were available, there were letters that you could use to stamp your pottery pieces which were great but they were disorganised on the floor which took up a great deal of time to find what you were looking for. Also no indication of drying time or what to do with our pottery pieces once home? This is my first experience with clay so would have liked the direction. I did really enjoy the class hence the 4* review but do think we could have had more direction. Thanks.
  • 4/5 from Debra Backhouse, attended Mar 2025: Very enjoyable afternoon. Teachers attentive & ensuring everyone knew what they were doing, and providing advice. Would definitely recommend.
  • 5/5 from Mirelle Midgley, attended Feb 2025: Fantastic experience! We were complete novices but it didn't matter! Would recommend this to anyone. Great fun.
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Feb 2025: Teacher was very friendly and helpful. They were patient and helped make the environment comfortable and fun.
  • 5/5 from Hannah Barlow, attended Feb 2025: Great easy going teacher, good examples and kind support given. Loved it
  • 5/5 from Julie Henderson, attended Oct 2024: What a fabulous class, very enjoyable, informative, friendly teachers and had a really fun time. Would definitely recommend it and venue good. Everything you needed was provided and shown how to make a pinch pot and then could make our own items and excellent value for money. This was booked for a hen party and we honestly couldn’t fault it. Will look out for further classes.
  • 4/5 from Mandeep O'Neill, attended Sep 2024: Really nice workshop and craft activity for our hen do group of 12. It was relaxing and we came away with two creations!
