“Brilliant experience! Great atmosphere. Easy to follow steps with support if you needed it. Kind, friendly teachers. Our pottery looks pretty. Drinks were available. Aspects to improve: - I would have played Japanese music in the background to improve the vibes. - I would have liked if the teachers had asked you before removing the materials from the table as a couple of times I had not yet finished and I needed them. I did not realise they were taking them away as I was focused on my work! - It was a bit difficult to see sometimes the steps the teacher was showing us from our seats. - The DIY kit we took home does not include the gold paint you need and we did not know. - I would have liked a bit more time for the finishing touches. Most of us only had time for one piece of pottery. Give it a go! It was a mindfulness experience. Thank you!”

“It was so lovely! However the last half about felt quite rushed, perhaps I’d have liked focusing on just one piece and including more mindfulness to it.”

“Loved this class! I found the instructors paced the class well and it was the perfect length of time. Such a wonderful, mindful exercise that was super enjoyable and satisfying to leave with two pieces. I brought my own piece that was broken and cohndlt be mended, now I have a beautiful new piece of art. Would highly recommend!”
