Marie and Paul reviewed: Introductory pottery wheel throwing taster sessions

"Me and my husband had a great couple of hours on the course. We found the place easily, with the clear instructions. We both really enjoyed it. Lorraine was amazing, so nice, helpful, knowledgeable and down to earth. I was a bit nervous to begin with but she put me at ease and was very encouraging. I couldn't believe I actually made 4 pots! Would definitely recommend this course. Everything great!"

"We had a fantastic time with Lorraine on the taster pottery throwing course! Lorraine was informative, patient and a pleasure to talk to. We got to keep all of our thrown pots and let them dry out to decorate at home too, which is lovely. We really can't recommend trying this out enough. We both now have a real taste for the art and can't wait to try more!"
