My friend and I had lots of fun trying something new and learned a new skill we would definitely like to pursue further. Rosa gave clear instructions and kept us entertained with wit, and Cherrie was very helpful in assisting us where we needed extra help. We were able to try the wheel and freehand clay, and had control over what we wanted to achieve under Rosa and Cherrie's tutelage. The prices for the final products were incredibly reasonable. My friend and I will definitely be recommending to others and will be looking at further classes.

My mum treated me to a pottery wheel session for my birthday, and it was such a fun and lovely experience! The teacher was so kind, patient and made the day feel really special. I’m deaf, and I really appreciated how clearly and respectfully she communicated with me — it made everything easy to follow and enjoy. Can’t wait to come back again!

The class is sectioned in three sections: 1) teacher speaks about the step to step process 2) then she takes it through with you doing it on your on wheel 3) then you are left to your own and the are helpers that come around to help. You are given three blocks of clay and can make what you want. It was a good enjoyable first time experience however i felt like section 1 could've been bit more brief so we got more time on the wheel.
