Learn pottery with Marina - one-to-one course

This course was absolutely brilliant!
I bought this as a surprise for my girlfriend and we both loved it! We had 3 sessions, throwing, trimming and glazing and came home with some beautiful little bowls.
Marina is such a great teacher; calm, fun, interesting and magic with the clay - we loved that she gave plenty of space to just get absorbed into making the pot, as well as great tuition. The workshop is also a really lovely quirky space and to top it off we also loved her dog poppy! We were both newbies and will definitely be coming back again! (My girlfriend is already planning on getting a pottery wheel in the garden!?)

Highly recommend this!!

The pottery lessons were bought as a present for my partner, and they were great, we were both hooked instantly! Marina was very friendly and knowledgeable, and showed us proper technique on the wheel. She has lots of interesting pieces for inspiration dotted around her workshop. Considering we had never given it a go before, we came out with some bowls and jugs that look amazing! Thank you for all your tuition and patience.
We would definitely recommend to others.

I’ve been going to classes with Marina for five months now and it’s been an amazing experience.
Marina is very patient with teaching different techniques, we’ve done coiling and wheel and painted using glazes.
I’ve brought my designs for plant pots and mugs and she’s helped me bring them to life- cannot recommend enough.

Lovely garden studio ceramics experience. So much to learn and made seemingly achievable in short sessions with Marina’s thoughtful and positive guidance. I would love to do more and hope to soon - thank you!

We had a fantastic time. Marina was an amazing teacher and the time went so quickly. We could have stayed there all day we were enjoying it so much! We enjoyed chatting to Marina and the lovely coffees and biscuits were also a nice addition. We would definitely recommend a pottery session with Marina!

I started going to Mirena’s classes a few of months ago and have been going ever since. I started with no experience and have already made some professional looking pots on the wheel. She is very welcoming and supportive of your individual ideas. I would definitely recommend her.

A friend and I decided were interested in trying out pottery and managed to find Marina. She was very patient and helpful with us beginners and we managed to make a few great pottery pieces! Marina is a great tutor and we would recommend her for anyone who would like to try out pottery - you will not be disappointed!

Thank you so much Marina, we had a great time!

I got this as a birthday gift for my girlfriend, which she thoroughly enjoyed. It was a fantastic morning. Learnt lots and had a great time. Marina was very patient with us and explained everything very clearly. Would highly recommend.

I bought a pottery class for my wife's birthday and we went to see Marina together. We had a brilliant time with her, learnt a lot and had some really nice shortbread! Marina was patient and a good teacher and we both came away happy. Would highly recommend a course with Marina....

Great experience with friendly and skilled instructor. We managed to do a lot in the two hours, and it was a fun experience to use the wheel. Great to have 1 on 1 help with this as a complete beginner and I was pleased to have successfully made a bowl.
Would definitely recommend

My teenage daughter had been doing pottery classes for a couple years, but wanted to try throwing a pot. When I googled throwing a pot in Surrey we were lucky enough to find Marina. A very experienced Potter based close to us in Dorking with a studio dedicated to all things pot like! We have had a few classes now and my daughter has the bug, she has bought home many pieces already and is gaining useful practical tips/hints from Marina who is a joy to learn with. I can recommend her highly whether you are experienced or not Marina will have you throwing successful pots on your first session!

Fab course, excellent teaching! Kind and professional tutor :-)
