"Charlie's workshop was amazing. The teaching was pitched perfectly for a novice like me. Charlie was also very encouraging and positive about not stressing over our mistakes. I was given this course as a present and it was a delight. I would definitely recommend this course, it gives you a superb start to what could be a new hobby. Thank you Charlie"

Charlie's Pots responded:

"Hello Caroline Many thanks for your review. You are very kind. It was a pleasure to meet you and I look forward to seeing you again soon. Charlie"

"I attended Charlie's workshop 6th October with a friend. It was superb! Highly recommend. Well paced with background info on preparing clay, demonstrations, explanations and of course hands on pot throwing. A very relaxed atmosphere. Lots of encouragement and lots of opportunities to start again with assistance at all stages to reinforce learning. I eventually made three pots that I am really proud of. I think I may have a talent! Can't wait to return to glaze them and collect after the final firing. I will definitely be taking this up. Well done Charlie. You have introduced me to a new interest."

Charlie's Pots responded:

"Hello Julia Many thanks for your review. You are very kind and I am glad you enjoyed the day. Your pots have now been fired and are ready to glaze, so I look forward to seeing you again soon. Thank you. Charlie"

Clare Owen reviewed: Pottery throwing course, Aylesbury

"Charlie is a wonderful teacher. His patience is amazing, and we did finally achieve pots worth firing. Thank you. The day was excellently planned, the timing allowed us to start again when things went wrong and it was relaxing and fun. I would recommend to anyone that they attend one of Charlie's courses. I will certainly persevere and attend more courses if I can. An excellent day."

Charlie's Pots responded:

"Hello Clare Many thanks for your review. It was a pleasure to meet you and Liza. Your pots are ready to glaze now. Look forward to seeing you both soon. Charlie"

Catarina reviewed: Pottery throwing course, Aylesbury

"I loved the course. Charlie is very experienced and very helpful. I had no experience and was able to bring 3 pieces home. I went back to glaze them after the course and I would like to go back again for a few more sessions too. I liked that we had a wheel for each of us, and plenty of time to make mistakes and start again. The course is also also very affordable."

Charlie's Pots responded:

"Hello Caterina Thank you very much for your comments, it was a pleasure see you. If you are interested in a more advanced course, I am going to do a teapot making course over a Saturday afternoon and a Sunday in September or October 2019. Mail me if you are interested. See you soon Charlie"

Sandra Coombes reviewed: Pottery throwing course, Aylesbury

"A great beginners workshop to attend and enjoyed the experience immensly even though I went solo and slightly out of my comfort zone, especially as I have arthritis in my fingers, but Charlie was so patient, enthusiastic and explained each stage in detail. Can't wait to see my 3 pots fired and ready for the next stage of glazing them."

Charlie's Pots responded:

"Hello Sandra Many thanks for the feedback. It was lovely to meet you yesterday and I am happy that you enjoyed the day. Look forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks to do the glazing. Best wishes Charlie"

Dawn Carroll reviewed: Improvers pottery wheel throwing course in Aylesbury

"A warm and friendly class. Charlie explains the process of throwing really well. For a first time thrower I managed to produce cylinders good enough to make a mug, with Charlie's help I even had a go at pulling a handle. A thoroughly enjoyable day."
