It was just me and my friend who went to the class, the studio setting was ideal and we were shown how to make a mug shaped pot and a bowl Louise the session leader / potter helped us where we needed it and we both enjoyed it - we are going back in a few weeks to paint them

Louise was lovely, she explained every step we needed to follow. There were 3 of us on the course, we each made 1 mug and one bowl each. I am returning to paint my pottery. I had a great morning, thank you

Louise is a superb teacher. She breaks down a multifaceted task simply, from centring to handholds. More than that, she has the innate ability to read your needs and capability, then fill in any gaps, making it a stressless, gentle and fun experience. Highly recommend. Will undoubtedly be back!

Sarah George

A brilliant, fun afternoon making pots with Louise! Lots of hands on time & lots of great help and teaching in her bright, friendly studio.

This experience was more than expected. A fantastic time was had. Louise has a gift not only in poetry making but also in her approach to teaching such a delicate skill to newbies. We enjoyed this so much the time went so fast. Will definitely be going back.

Vivien Green

I booked the class for my husbands birthday. He was very excited about doing it, but I was very apprehensive - I don't like getting my hands messy and I havent a very good memory so was anxious about remembering the instructions! However, I need not have worried. Louise, our teacher was so friendly, + more

Abigail Shannon

On this website the maximum that can be rated is 5 stars for a 'great' experience - and I believe this does Louise a disservice! There should be the option to choose 'spectacular' or 'phenomenal' because I think that is more better suited. My mum and I smiled the entire time. Our teacher was hilarious, + more

The Pottery session was a birthday gift for my husband. We found the studio and parked in the quiet street nearby. We were welcomed by the lovely Louise and felt very relaxed in this small group - 4 people. After introductions we watched a demonstration that made it all seem easy. Our technique needs + more

What a fantastic introduction to throwing clay, you end up with recognisable pottery from your first throw. Louise takes away the pain, making it a joy. You get the chance to try the tricky bits, without using your whole lesson having to master them. We did the class as a family group, this was so relaxing + more

Louise is a fantastic teacher, calm patient and very well knowledgeable in pottery, her passion is extremely obvious and it’s catching, we all felt very enthusiastic about pottery by the end and the nerves had gone. Love lady, great class. A pleasure.

Christine Pavlicic-O’Brien

It was a very enjoyable evening, the class was small and Louise was able to give us near enough one to one attention. Louise made us feel at ease and was really knowledgeable too. I am seriously considering trying her other class.

Graham Mason

The teacher was fantastic had a most enjoyable evening made 2 pots, well sort of resembled pots.

Alex

Louise was fab. Explained everything well and made sure eveyone in the class got to go home with a piece by keeping us all in shape. Venue was clean& set up well. Easy to find. I have learnt the stages of how to throw a pot. Now I just want to play with clay& learn even more.

Our Christmas lantern workshop was such a fun evening. Louise is so passionate about pottery, she explained everything step by step and was hand to assist. I highly recommend any of Louise’s workshops, this was my third time at a workshop.

To start with Louise show and explain how to make lantern which was easy to understand and follow. I was in a group of 4,it was cozy and fun atmosphere. I would recommend to anyone who want to try something crafty also it would make a great present.
