Recent reviews of Throwing on the Wheel Class

• 5/5 from Annie, attended Oct 2026: Highly recommend! We had a lovely time doing the throwing pottery class. Our teacher was amazing at explaining and helping as it was most of the group's first time. We all got to make 3 separate clay pieces each and we'll decided to choose the additional glazing options. Great family day out!
• 5/5 from Pamela Morgan, attended Sep 2026: We had a wonderful afternoon throwing on the wheel pottery class with Gabbie. She was so calm, encouraging, knowledgeable and accommodating. She adapted the activity for my elderly mother in law and was so kind. We each threw three small pots and were delighted with our creations! It was so relaxing and grounding. I had the class as a birthday gift ans I love watching Pottery Throwdown on TV and the process of booking was simple. Communication with the teacher was excellent and she was so helpful when discussing disabled parking and access. I highly recommend this if you want to try throwing on the wheel. Great fun!
• 5/5 from Sophie Harding, attended Sep 2026: Booked this class on ClassBento was easy to book and gave all the information. Had a great time at this session! It was super relaxing and a really lovely environment. Will for sure be going back!
• 5/5 from Chloe Grimwood, attended Sep 2026: It was a great session, we were able to make multiple things and got really good guidance throughout!
• 5/5 from Freya Dall, attended Sep 2026: Me and my partner went to a private class for two which was run by Gabi. Both of us were beginners and everything was explained to us and demonstrated so well. I managed to make 4 in the time and he made 3 so plenty of time to practice and still come away with a few items to take. Defiantly would recommend, we are already planning to book to go along and glaze them!
• 5/5 from Winnie Au Yeung, attended Sep 2026: Very nice and patient teacher, she explained all the steps in detail and showed us all the steps. She also helped us with our problems. We had a great experience making our own pottery piece. Our child really enjoyed the class!
• 5/5 from Seanie Myers, attended Sep 2026: Francesca was so lovely! She was very encouraging and explained her art in a super understandable way. My partner and I came for a solo session and she went into a lot of detail on the techniques and quirks of pottery. We’ll be returning to glaze our creations and look forward to coming back!
• 5/5 from Louise Hallett, attended Aug 2026: Such an excellent class run by Ella, who was so knowledgeable, calm and an excellent encouraging tutor. A really small group of four meant we all had plenty of Ella’s time. A great, productive couple of hours and I would love to return
• 5/5 from Aleisha Braich, attended Aug 2026: Had the best time again! I've been previously but this time I was taught by Fran! She went through all the steps thoroughly and really embraced us all slowing down to create exactly what we wanted! Lovely atmosphere and can't wait to go back and glaze! For people who enjoy creative activities I highly reccomend A coming to Terra Cafe and B using ClassBento to book!
• 5/5 from James Ashworth-Holland, attended Aug 2026: This was a really interesting and entry-level class with a super supportive teacher. She explained and demonstrated all of the steps, took us through our own initial attempts at pottery and was thorough and patient when we were developing our technique. Would definitely recommend!
• 4/5 from Rebecca Fyfe, attended Aug 2026: Gaby has been a great teacher and I would really reccomend it. it is important to bear in mind that is not possible to collect the ‘artifacts’ on the day so make sure you can come back. In alternative they offer a posting service.
• 5/5 from Alexandra Francis, attended Jul 2026: Gaby was welcoming and friendly, she explained everything really clearly and was on-hand to answer any questions and offer support when my pot started to collapse! It was a really great course, super enjoyable, relaxed and fun. We look forward to coming back to glaze our creations in a few weeks' time
• 5/5 from Sophie Githiomi, attended Jul 2026: Really fun private class, very relaxed atmosphere and easy going teacher. I'll definitely be returning for another class
• 5/5 from Katherine L Cross, attended Jul 2026: It was our first time using a potter's wheel. A wonderful experience with a fabulous teacher.
• 5/5 from Sara Egrtova, attended Jul 2026: This was my first time throwing clay with my partner, and we had an amazing experience!! We opted for the private class service, which gave us the privacy, attentive care, and therapeutic experience we were looking for. From the very beginning, the atmosphere was pleasant. We were warmly welcomed and offered beverages. They inquired about our prior knowledge or experience and followed up with a demonstration. When it was our turn, our teacher, Gaby, guided us throughout the entire 2-hour session. It was so much fun! I highly recommend it, whether you’re a beginner or not. The time was just enough to create a few pieces and learn a new skill. Thank you, Gaby, for the unforgettable experience :))
• 5/5 from Kirstie David, attended Jul 2026: We had the best time today learning how to throw on a wheel. Gaby was a brilliant, patient teacher, well definitely be back.
• 5/5 from Evan Morris, attended Jun 2026: Gabby the teacher was amazing, very kind, incredibly helpful. Her approach was to be hands off to let you experiment and get a feel for the throwing, but always there to help suggest corrections and jump in if needed. Highly recommend. Coffee and tea were also fantastic.
• 5/5 from Helena Boultwood, attended Jun 2026: Tutor was excellent, very helpful and the right amount of hands on/hands off. I was surprised that the bowls I made weren't too bad! You can easily make three pots/bowls in the time which feels good value.

• 5/5 from Aleisha Braich, attended Apr 2026: Super fun class perfect for beginners! Gabby goes through how to throw on a wheel step by step and is there to guide should anything go wrong. Really good value for money I came away with 4 pots that I'll go back and glaze in a few weeks! The classes are super small too so you get the attention you may need as well as it generally being a more relaxing environment, definitely reccomend and will be coming back again!!

• 5/5 from Rachel Ford, attended Mar 2026: We had a great time and made 4 items each. Our teacher Gabby explained and showed us how to do everything so well and was really helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed our session.
• 5/5 from Christopher Jones, attended Mar 2026: This was an xmas gift from the wife, what a great gift! Gabby the instructor was great, so helpful, I really enjoyed having a go, made 4 reasonable looking pots, the wife bought me a gift card for the full amount of the course but you put the price up so I had to pay a little extra, put the choice of either full payment or part at booking so when someone pays full it is actually no more to pay out even if you do put the price up, apart from that it was a great way to spend a few hours and the 2 ladies that made up the rest of the attendees also made the day, so friendly, and yes I would do it again.
• 5/5 from Dawn Franklin, attended Mar 2026: We booked a private class for a birthday celebration. The staff were so lovely and accommodating and Fran (teacher) was so patient and helpful. We all made 4 pieces and despite our laughter and messiness (and tweaks from Fran to rectify our mistakes) we ended up being proud of our creative efforts!! Would definitely recommend ️
• 5/5 from Lulu Parikian, attended Mar 2026: Really enjoyed my experience. Friendly and helpful teacher, and had enough time to try out and then improve. I’d never done it before so it was fun figuring out what and what not to do! Excited to go and glaze my three pottery pieces.

• 5/5 from Neil Gilbert, attended Jan 2026: I had an absolute blast tonight and am still buzzing about it. After watching every episode of the great pottery throw down on TV, I was finally able to try it myself, and discover how hard it is. Pedros was a superb teacher: knowledgeable, patient and kind. I’m tempted to take up pottery as a hobby now!
