Fiona Akins reviewed: One to one throwing sessions

"My daughter and I attended Karen's pottery class and had a great morning. The class was relaxed and informal, Karen talked us through the process of throwing the clay and demonstrated the process before letting us loose on the potters wheels. Throwing the clay is a lot harder than I thought it would be physically but would definitely have another go. Certainly would recommend a class with Karen. Was very impressed with the Covid procedures Karen has in place, felt a very safe environment, strict cleaning of utensils, no sharing of equipment, open window, hand sanitizer etc."

Deborah Jones reviewed: One to one throwing sessions

"The lady who took the class was very welcoming, and was interested in what we needed from the course. I enjoyed the throwing session very much, and was also shown other techniques. There was good correspondence regarding how to get to the venue, where we could park and eat etc. I would definitely book another class. The environment where the studio was based is inspiring and in a comfortable setting."

Karen Dawn Curtis responded:

" Hi Debs, Thank you so much for the review and so very glad you enjoyed the day!! It was a pleasure to teach you and Louise. Your work is drying nicely and I look forward to firing it. Kind regards Karen"
