The teachers were extremely friendly and helpful. The whole experience was very relaxing and I loved spending the time losing myself in what I was creating. I would recommend the class to anyone who wanted to try something new.

The two teachers slowly walked us through the 3 stages of pottery making before letting us loose on the wheels. They walked around, offering help and guidance and by the end of the 2-hour session, we'd made 3 pots each. I had a lot of fun during this class and would love to come back for more. Thank you Nam and team!

Great class, very didactic and also very flexible - the teacher was willing to step back or assist you more as you wished. Effective technique allows for a pleasant experience and the option to have the pieces after for a small fee is great (I would not have wanted to have it embedded in the price). Nice studio spacious and well lit, but don't come for a luxurious venue. Tram is super nice and makes the experience worth it.

Such a fun and hands on class! We had a great teacher who broke down the basics of throwing on a wheel. Staff on hand to help when you get into a sticky spot. You can choose to keep what you’ve made, have it fired, painted and even have handles added if you want, for £5 per pot. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful studio. As a beginner I knew absolutely nothing about pottery. The staff were attentive, energetic and passionate about what they do. It was a large class, but I never felt like I couldn't get the support when I asked for it.
