• 5/5 from Terry Richardson, attended Mar 2026: The teacher was very accommodating. The facility and atmosphere was very comfortable. Booking through Bento was not the easiest experience. A wonderful experience...
• 5/5 from Adam Alder, attended Feb 2026: Karen was extremely personable and warm. Gave really good advice, as well as helping us when things went pear shape (like our clay…!). Overall a really great teacher. She made the class very fun, it went by so quick due to our enjoyment, especially as newbies this meant we were really comfortable to be ourselves and make mistakes but keep going. I couldn’t recommend Karen and this class enough, it was great.

• 5/5 from Andy Warhurst, attended Feb 2026: Wha a fantastic, relaxing and informative afternoon. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. Karen makes you feel at home in the chapel straightaway ….. fun with a hand build and then some throwing on the wheel. Karen’s approach and teaching is pitched just right …. Enough to get you going, but then lets your imagination run.

• 5/5 from Gary Whiteman, attended Jan 2026: Karen was lovely, very chilled class in a lovely chapel
• 5/5 from Karl Pardoe, attended Jan 2026: Hubby and I attended one of Karen’s taster pottery classes where we had Karen all to ourselves. We loved it! Karen is the most friendly and patient instructor and repeating herself over and over again was never too much trouble. She has the knack to teach, encourage and reassure which are admirable traits. We would not hesitate to recommend this course to anyone that wants to experience pottery making. Unlike some other courses we have seen advertised, Karen’s taster class includes the clay and glazing. There are no hidden extra charges. Thank you Karen for a fabulous couple of hours. We had SO much fun and cannot wait to see our creations when we come back in a few weeks to collect them. Warm regards Debbi and Karl

• 5/5 from Rebecca Vagg, attended Dec 2025: Excellent class, thank you! Nice small group (just 3) which meant there was lots of personalised support. So, despite it being my first time doing this, I was able to produce 4 items I could be proud of. Was a nice suprise at the end that the items will be fired and glazed and available for collection in 3 weeks. Definitely made me interested in doing more.
• 5/5 from Sarah Bailey, attended Nov 2025: I received this taster experience as a gift. Pottery throwing is something I had been wanting to do for years. The experience was everything I thought it would be and more. With friendly expert guidance, and hands on help, In a beautiful building with lots of history, I created 4 items that I am amazed at. I never thought my pottery would turn out so well. I learnt so much from my very knowledgeable, and patient potter - Karen. Thank you very much Karen, I will return, I have the pottery bug now! xxx

• 5/5 from Rosemary Chapman, attended Jul 2025: Lovely teacher and lovely space. Got to make 4 different things, practice using the clay on the wheel and getting the shapes. Really enjoyed it.
• 5/5 from Roxanne Rudkin, attended Jul 2025: Myself and my two sons had a great time! Karen was friendly, patient and informative throughout - such a lovely lady! We had a go at modelling first, which Karen took the time to guide us through in steps and there was a variety of tools to use to help us sculpt our clay. Then we all had a go at clay throwing on the pottery wheel! I was awful at it yet Karen was SO calm and helpful remaining patient while juggling to help the three of us. My boys had a wonderful time, even the awkward teenager. My youngest was over the moon as this was a treat for his birthday, something he'd wanted to do for a long time - he already wants to go again!! There were many colours too choose from for the glaze and Karen was able to guide me with her vast knowledge when I became stuck when making a decision. I'd thoroughly recommend booking to attend The Clay Chapel for anyone (-: thank you Karen!
• 5/5 from Rachel Sartain, attended Jun 2025: Absolutely loved the class! Highly recommend. Karen was so kind and patient, took us through all the steps and explained the process.
• 5/5 from Meghna Desai, attended Jun 2025: It was a wonderful experience with my brother and sister. We made some clay faces and then got to make clay pots on the wheel which was actually quite challenging but really fun! I would definitely recommend it for a gift. Teacher was great and very experienced. Some background music would have been lovely and I would have liked some more photos however with clay covered hands, I'm not sure how that would have been possible
• 5/5 from Philip Elliott, attended May 2025: Karen was lovely, interesting and really patient with myself and especially my 11 year old boy who wanted to try this. We had a lovely time.
