Recent reviews of Wheel Throwing Pottery Class for Beginners

  • 5/5 from John Toop, attended May 2026: I thoroughly enjoyed this two hour introduction to Wheel Throwing Pottery. Matt is an excellent teacher who provided a clear demonstration initially and the limitless advice as to how to produce pots on the wheel. All materials and equipment were provided and with Matt's guidance I managed to make and decorate four pots in the time available. I look forward to hearing from Matt to collect these when they have been fired an glazed. I would recommend this workshop as the perfect introduction for anyone wishing to experience pot throwing. Thanks.
  • 5/5 from Kayleigh Taylor, attended Nov 2025: Matt is a kind & patient teacher providing the perfect intro to wheel throwing pottery. Would definitely recommend trying this.
