“We booked the pottery throwing class as a wedding anniversary gift for each other, and it was a brilliant choice. Our teacher, Robyn, was friendly, patient and encouraging, and made it easy to relax even as beginners. She explained each step clearly and stepped in to help when our clay didn't quite do as we wanted! What we liked most was getting properly hands-on and doing something creative together, away from phones and everyday life. We laughed so much, definitly had a a bit of friendly competition over whose pot looked best, and we left with something to remember the day by. We were surprised at how relaxing and thereputic it was!. I’d happily recommend it as a gift or a date idea, whether you’re a complete beginner or just fancy trying something different.”
