Deiniol Williams Ceramics reviews

vicky walker reviewed: Throwing taster session

"Taster session 1/2/20. A very enjoyable and informative introduction to throwing in Deiniol's studio. Deiniol guided us through the stages of creating a bowl. Very impressed that we all managed a second bowl."

Deiniol Williams Ceramics responded:

"Thank you for the review Vicky! I'm glad that you managed to make two bowls as it's a tricky skill to learn :)"

Susan Hamilton reviewed: Throwing taster session

"Thank you so much Deiniol for your patience. As a complete beginner I was thrilled to throw a pot which actually resembled a pot! I would love to come back and try it again. I thoroughly enjoyed the taster session. Regards Sue Hamilton"

Deiniol Williams Ceramics responded:

"Thanks Sue, hope you can come back for another course in the future!"

Layla suleiman reviewed: Throwing taster session

"Had the beginners taster this morning. I absolutely loved it. So much fun and really pleased with the bowls I made. Deiniol was very good at demonstrating the basics and great guidance while we were having a go. I had such a great morning and I can’t wait to pick up my glazed bowls. Will be booking onto one of the full day courses for certain. Thank you so much."

Deiniol Williams Ceramics responded:

"Thank you Layla! I look forward to meeting you again on one of my future courses."

Danielle reviewed: Throwing taster session

"Great morning learning the basics. The teaching was clear and well-paced. Loved the chance to actually produce two bowls after just two hours. I’m looking forward to returning to do a longer course."

Deiniol Williams Ceramics responded:

"Glad to hear that you're thinking of coming back for one of the longer courses Danielle!"

Jen Horsley reviewed: Throwing taster session

"Really enjoyed the morning. Deiniol took the time to show us what we would need to do to create and decorate a bowl, then talked us through step by step actually creating a bowl and then allowed us to see what we had learnt by creating another bowl. Excellent couple of hours"

Deiniol Williams Ceramics responded:

"Thanks Jen!"

Claire Shaw reviewed: Throwing taster session

"I attended Deiniol's 2 hour `Taster Class' with my husband, 12yrs and 15yrs old children. We had a fantastic time, very enjoyable experience. You could tell Deiniol has teaching experience and was very patient with us all especially the children. After a step by step demonstration we all got stuck in and managed to produce two items each. Would definitely have another go and can see that this could very easily become a very enjoyable hobby!"

Deiniol Williams Ceramics responded:

"Thank you Claire. Really glad you all enjoyed the session!"

Lynn Laynton reviewed: Introduction to throwing | One-day

"This was my first introduction to throwing pottery and it was a pleasure. Deiniol is a knowledgable, patient and kind instructor and his tutoring was very accurate and precise. He encourages creativity and his experience in throwing ensures you enjoy the process. I can highly recommend the day course, including the lunch, which gives you the opportunity to chat to other students. Thank you Deiniol."

"I had the pleasure of participating in one of Deniol's courses for throwing recently, and can thoroughly recommend it to anyone wishing to learn the art of throwing pots. He is a very patient teacher with a knack for explaining clearly and concisely all that you need to know to learn to throw. A definite "must" for anyone wanting to make a start in ceramics"

"Great fun. Deiniol was very patient!"

Mike Perry reviewed: Throwing taster session

"Really enjoyed it. I'm seriously thinking of going back for a longer session later in the year, or trying one of the evening sessions. Deiniol was very helpful, supportive and an excellent teacher. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to try throwing pots and as a complete beginner, definitely in the "senior" age range, I managed to produce three fairly different bowls in the two-hour session, including one I thought was quite good!"

Deiniol Williams Ceramics responded:

"Thank you very much for your review Mike! I shall look forward to meeting you again on one of my longer courses :)"

Richard Haynes reviewed: Introduction to throwing | Weekend

"I had a really fun time and learnt that I could do something new. Deiniol is a supportive teacher who genuinely enjoys sharing his knowledge of making. If you have got this far in looking at a course -go for it and I am sure you will really pleased that you did."

Fran reviewed: Introduction to throwing | Weekend

"A very talented potter with great knowledge and more importantly, patience. Having never attempted anything like this before I was a little apprehensive but was soon put at ease by Deiniols relaxed manner. A very enjoyable weekend course with great company, good food and interesting conversation - never a dull moment! Deiniol is an excellent teacher and encouraging at all times. I learned a lot about ceramics and the various processes and with his help I was able to produce a number of pieces of work which I am very much looking forward to taking home to show off to family and friends. I can't recommend Deiniol and this course highly enough and would also recommend it if you are struggling to think of something interesting and different to buy as a gift. Thoroughly enjoyed it."
