• 5/5 from Laura Ferreira, attended Sep 2026: Excellent session. Louise is a great teacher and full of positive energy. Very happy with the pot and bowl I made, and I’m looking forward to going back to paint them another day. It was a very diverting and satisfying couple of hours away from normal life.
• 5/5 from Sarah Burwell, attended Sep 2026: I've always wanted to try pottery & I chose Louise's class as it was local. I had a wonderful morning! Louise is so friendly and welcoming and puts you at ease straight away. There were four if us in the class, using two potters wheels. This was perfect as it gave us time to watch & absorb the information whilst the other person was working with the clay at the wheel. Louise offered advice & encouragement throughout the morning and explained everything clearly. I had no expectations of being able to make anything useful, but actually made a bowl and a utensil pot, which I was delighted with! I've booked another session to paint my items, as I enjoyed it so much! Thank you Louise, it was a real treat to meet you and watch you work!

• 5/5 from Laura, attended Jun 2026: This class was a Christmas present. We created a mug and a bowl in our time with Louise. She was super friendly, funny and informative. We loved the experience and will be returning to decorate our pieces in a couple of weeks. Would recommend!!!

• 5/5 from Simon Penn, attended Apr 2026: This was a Christmas gift from my wife. I had a wonderful time and met some lovely people. Louise is a great teacher. I don't know how she manages to keep an eye on everyone at the same time. You get to keep your pieces once they've been glazed and fired. I would definitely recommend the experience.

• 5/5 from Peter Gibson, attended Apr 2026: A great two hours learning the basics with Louise in a lovely atmosphere. Instructions and demonstrations given to the level of the students. Well worth booking a session for yourself or as a gift for someone else.

• 5/5 from Sarah Robinson, attended Apr 2026: Louise created a calm, peaceful atmosphere for the class and was very friendly. I was lucky enough to be in a class of 2 so with Louise finding the positives in my beginner skills it gave me greater confidence.
• 5/5 from Sophie Brown, attended Mar 2026: I had the best time at Louise's pottery wheel class! It was such a joy to learn something completely new, and the whole experience felt both relaxing and exciting at the same time. Louise is an absolute delight—so kind, patient, and genuinely interesting to listen to. She has a wonderful way of teaching that makes everything feel approachable, and she somehow makes throwing on the wheel look effortless (even if it definitely isn’t at first!). The two hours flew by because I was having so much fun, and I honestly could have stayed much longer. I’d highly recommend this class to anyone looking to try something creative in a welcoming and enjoyable environment. Thank you Louise!
• 5/5 from Laura Catling, attended Mar 2026: Louise was a fantastic tutor from start to finish. Very warm and welcoming, making you feel at ease from of the offset. I loved how we each had a go at the different steps before we got stuck into making our items. Louise is amazing at what she does and really puts so much effort into the session. I had a fab time and would highly recommend booking onto one of the pottery sessions, great fun.
• 5/5 from Lesley Hirst, attended Mar 2026: I did the throw a pot session with Louise. Louise is an excellent teacher, who demonstrated every step and guided the group through the session. I was an absolute beginner but I made a pot and a bowl and was very pleased with them.
• 5/5 from Lily Rosetta Clarke, attended Feb 2026: Booked a session for my granddaughter to celebrate her birthday, very friendly environment and relaxed atmosphere. Great experience with a skilled tutor who is passionate about her craft. We are looking forward to going back in a few weeks to paint our first make.
• 5/5 from Jonathan Wilson, attended Feb 2026: The pottery throwing experience was first rate, given by a passionate and talented artist that made it look easy. The enthusiasm for pottery was infectious, she made it feel easy keeping it light and engaging throughout
• 5/5 from Philip Devereaux, attended Feb 2026: Louise is lovely, friendly & brilliant at what she does. I bought this as a gift for my husband & decided to book myself too so we could enjoy doing something together. We both really enjoyed it & great coffee too Thank you Louise
• 5/5 from Peter Gibson, attended Feb 2026: Louise was a very good tutor who kept the instructions to the ability of the class and made everyone feel as if they could make a pot or dish without too much difficulty. A drink on arrival and a few minutes nattering made all the pupils relax and ease the apprehension that was there at the start. An enjoyable session that saw everyone complete at least one credible looking item. Well worth the time and effort if you are thinking about it!
• 5/5 from Gill Dobbs, attended Feb 2026: A Christmas (2024) gift finally booked and what a great morning it was. What is made to look easy on TV really isn’t! Louise is a fab teacher and we were all made to feel very comfortable. Her encouraging way of teaching and demonstrating meant that we all made very usable items. Highly recommended
• 5/5 from James, attended Feb 2026: Birthday present for my wife. We had a great time. Louise is a very inspirational teacher and gave step by step instructions throughout. Felt safe to have a go and she was there to help when needed. A lovely way to spend your Saturday morning. Looking forward to going back to paint our creations soon.
• 5/5 from Sky Gillett, attended Jan 2026: Thank you Louise, we had a brilliant time and all somehow produced beautiful pieces! Brilliant experience
• 5/5 from Clive Thorley, attended Jan 2026: I was given this as birthday present, by my partner. I tried my hand at slab-built pottery at adult classes in the late '80s for around 3 years at Tresham collage, but never got the opportunity to try the potter's wheel. Louise made us feel very welcome, and explained at the start how the session would go and what she hopped we'd get out of it. There were four people booked in the class, which was just right. To be able to have made a mug and a bowl by the end of the two hours was brilliant and a testament to Louise's teaching.
• 5/5 from Karen Squires, attended Jan 2026: A really lovely and relaxing way to spend a Saturday morning. I loved it. Thank you
• 5/5 from Ellie Butterworth, attended Jan 2026: We had the most wonderful pottery session with Louise! Her knowledge is incredible, and she explains each technique so clearly while making the whole experience relaxed and fun. She has the patience of a saint — especially while watching us enthusiastically make many creative “learning opportunities” on the wheel . Louise took the time to get to know us, which instantly put us at ease and made the session feel personal and welcoming. She taught us a variety of techniques and encouraged us every step of the way, no matter how wonky things got. And let’s not forget the coffee — genuinely the best coffee ever! A perfect mix of learning, laughter, and creativity. Highly recommend!
• 5/5 from Emily Charter, attended Jan 2026: Absolutely fantastic morning! Cannot reccomend Louise enough. Such a brilliant teacher, so informative. Venue was perfect nice, warm and cosy whilst the weather was terrible outside. Thank you for a brilliant morning cannot wait to go back and paint my pots!
• 5/5 from Alice Ireland, attended Dec 2025: What a lovely way to spend a few hours. My only gripe is that the time flew by so quickly. Louise was welcoming, knowledgeable and encouraging. The studio space was perfect, with calming music and the right temperature. We were blessed to be visiting on a crisp winters day with the sunlight flooding in through the windows. The pottery itself resulted in two functional pieces which I've decided to paint, so I will be revisiting the studio soon for an additional cost. It was something I'd wanted to do for a long time, and taking that first step into the world of throwing with the expert guidance of Louise was perfect. Whilst mildly intimidated by the amount of information, it sparked a dream inside me. I can't wait to do it again.
• 5/5 from Karen Patterson, attended Dec 2025: We had a very enjoyable lesson, perfectly balanced and fun. A good mix of pupils and very clearly instructed.
• 5/5 from Ruth Atkinson, attended Dec 2025: A fantastic two hours of pottery with Louise in her fab studio. I treated my friend to the class as her birthday present & thanks to Louise’s great tuition & guidance we both, even as nervous novices, made two pieces we were really pleased with! Thanks Louise!
• 5/5 from Tracy Brown, attended Oct 2025: Thank you Louise. We have just have a lovely afternoon celebrating my husband’s 50th birthday by throwing a couple of pots and a bowl, a fabulous way to make a life memory together, everything was lovely including the couple of bird ornaments we brought as an extra reminder of the day, can’t wait to collect our pottery soon and hope to see you at the makers market next month in Kettering, kind regards Tracy and Peter.xx
• 5/5 from Judith Townsend, attended Oct 2025: Louise was very friendly, teaching absolute novices to throw a small bowl on a pottery wheel, with patience and tact. The room was light and welcoming. The lesson flowed easily and our attention was engaged all of the time. I really enjoyed the session.
• 5/5 from Angela Williams, attended Oct 2025: Absolutely loved this morning, Louise is such a warm and patient teacher
• 5/5 from Linda Drew, attended Sep 2025: What a wonderful afternoon making a mug and a bowl as a beginner. Louise was a fantastic teacher. Would highly recommend as a new experience. Thank you
• 5/5 from Bridget Lapworth, attended Sep 2025: I had a brilliant afternoon at the pottery! Louise was very welcoming and made us all feel at ease, she is very passionate and knowledgeable about her craft. There were only three of us so we had plenty of one to one tuition with Louise which was great. I made a mug and a bowl and I cannot wait to go back and decorate them. This is something I've always wanted to try and it didn't disappoint. I'd recommend going to one Louise's classes, I shall definitely do it again in the future.
• 5/5 from June Morton, attended Sep 2025: I absolutely loved it great experience lovely lovely lady made you feel very comfortable and welcoming and I managed to make 2 pieces thank you Louise x
• 5/5 from Jemma Jackman-Howard, attended Aug 2025: My sister and I booked the wheel throwing class and loved every moment! Louise instantly put us at ease with her amazing spirit and passion for pottery. The Venue was easy to find and it was a small class so at no point did we feel like we weren’t getting Louise’s full attention. We were able to make both a mug and bowl for an extra £5 which was totally worth it. Louise also took loads of photos and videos of our experience to share with our family and friends which was a nice touch. Would recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn something different and have a nice wholesome morning.
• 5/5 from Karen Pratt, attended Aug 2025: Louise is very passionate and enthusiastic about teaching what she clearly loves, pottery. Had a great morning, inspired to do more. Thank you so much, fabulous meeting you. X
• 5/5 from Lisa Howkins, attended Aug 2025: Louise was wonderful from the moment we arrived, her knowledge is amazing and she kept us all engaged throughout the whole session, I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an introduction to pottery and will definitely be back!
• 5/5 from Andy Wale, attended Aug 2025: Louise is very patient and informative. We had private tuition which catered for all of our different needs. We enjoyed making a cup and a bowl from scratch. Would recommend to anyone who would like to either start their pottery journey or just to have a try at a potters wheel! Many thanks again Louise.
• 5/5 from Sophie Donald, attended Jul 2025: Great teacher - fun and easy to talk to and we both learnt a lot. We made 2 mugs and 2 bowls which was extremely fun. Can’t wait to go and paint them in a couple of weeks, then we can take them home and enjoy using them and remembering the experience forever ️ definitely recommend
