Eileen Daly

Very fun and learned alot. Instructor very patient with absolute beginner.

Nathan Stephenson

The sunday evening pottery session I attended with my partner was fantastic. We got a brilliant introduction to the craft and were told about the inner workings of the clay and processes around it. Our mentor was excellent with everyone and made sure we all had his time so that we could all come away with a product of our own at the end of the session. I can’t wait to go back and collect the pieces!
