“Me and my husband went here for my husbands birthday. It was a 2 hour comprehensive, and very in depth class on pottery which I didn't actually expect.
Mark knew so much about pottery and it was very interesting to learn about the preparation of the clay before it's thrown. I never knew how much work really went into it.
Then after the preparation of the clay he showed us step by step how to make a cup, which is harder than it looks.
Before we actually got started with the pottery part of this class, he asked us if it would be okay if he held our hands to guide us, which was very considerate as I wasn't okay with that and he respected my boundary without hesitation.
We both learnt so much and spoke fondly of our class even with relatives and just amongst ourselves. It was very informative and a great use of time. Mark even went over the 2 hour session and we actually stayed another 45 minutes making another cup and tidying up.
One of the things I really like is how even after we are finished, none of the clay goes in the bin and it is actually all reused. Mark doesn't waste anything which is great, and he even makes his own tools and is honest about how the fancy tools in craft shops isn't something you actually need.
I think it was a wonderful experience and both me and my husband had a wonderful time.”
“Great in depth class which essentially was a private session for my girlfriends 30th.
The teacher Mark was great and very knowledgable and experienced with 39years experience!
Mark was supportive and helped us create some beautiful cups on the pottery wheel. Thank you Mark!”
“Great, friendly and informative class in a really nice spot in East London. Enjoyable and supportive way to try out wheel throwing for the first time.”
“We had the best experience! Mark was a great teacher who took his time to explain pottery and clay, and also talked about sustainability and his role in contributing to that. We loved the class. He showed us the techniques and tools to make nice pots and bowls. I would highly recommend this to anyone. We will definitely be doing more pottery going forward.”
