I booked this free class on a whim and I’m so glad I did! We made hanging decorations by printing on clay slabs. I had a lovely time making my design, exploring Louise’s extensive collection of equipment and then working out the best pressure to use for the effect I wanted. It was a lovely relaxed + more

This was truly more than I expected. Louise was excellent and her teaching methods are so fun and engaging, it made every moment memorable for me and my partner. We look forward to doing a lot more of this and coming back to paint our mugs! Thank you Louise.

Philippa Hunt

Louise was a friendly and welcoming host and teacher. She's perfected her system to enable beginners to leave having successfully produced identifiable mugs and bowls on the wheel. The two hours flew by.

A fantastic afternoon celebrating my sisters birthday at a private class. Thank you Louise for making our day so enjoyable

Julie Cummings

Class was really enjoyable and I walked away having made two acceptable pots (which was a miracle considering I was an absolute beginner) Louise was so friendly and made us feel completely comfortable, would definitely recommend

Simon Penn

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.

Peter Gibson

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.

Sarah Robinson

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.

Lauren Webster

Louise is a great teacher and we had a lovely family morning together. Thank you Louise for a perfect morning

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 + more

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

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.

Alice Ireland

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 + more

Thank you Louise, we had a brilliant time and all somehow produced beautiful pieces! Brilliant experience

Clive Thorley

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 + more

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.

Jemma Jackman-Howard

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 + more

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.

Sophie Donald

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
