Recent reviews of Wheel Throwing Workshop

• 5/5 from Vasanti, attended Jul 2026: Very fun workshop with plenty of opportunities to make pieces to take home! All the staff were knowledgeable and friendly! A great first experience with clay throwing! I had trouble in the beginning but the staff were encouraging and helped me to create some pieces I could keep! Thank you!
• 5/5 from Beth Evans, attended Jun 2026: Amazing experience!
• 5/5 from Sam Jennings, attended Jun 2026: I joined this mainstream pottery wheel beginners course as a wheelchair user and it was BRILLIANT! I was able to use the hand controlled wheel where all other members of the small group used the more traditional foot pedal operated wheels. It was a brilliant introduction & the facilities were so good for me - as was the local tube station that now has lifts making the journey a whole lot easier. Cannot recommend enough and will be back with a non wheelchair using friend who is very keen to have a go. The tuition was expert and the atmosphere was very welcoming & peaceful. One of my calmest Saturdays in a very long time and I managed to make a few pieces! I have chosen the one I want to be glazed and intend to pick that one up when I go back to make more. Also - this class directly helps fundraise for the charity that provide accesible pottery sessions for disabled people with a wide range of impairments- our attendance on this leisure course directly supports the work they do which makes it an even better activity to be getting involved in in my opinion!

• 5/5 from Colin Campbell, attended Sep 2025: Loved it! The workshop Was great and we ended up a glazed fired pot after a few weeks of drying. Would go back and recommend. As a bonus you get to smash the clay pots you don’t want to keep.
