Mary reviewed: Introduction to throwing on the potter's wheel

"Lovely morning with Geri revisiting clay. She was so clear in her instructions and I learnt lots of new tips. I would certainly recommend this as Geri is an excellent teacher and guides you all the way. Time flies! "

" Thank you so much for taking the time to review the session you attended. I will let you know as soon as your pots are ready. Best wishes Geri"

Liz reviewed: Throwing on the wheel for couples morning sessions

"My husband and I had a couples throwing on the wheel course with Geri. She is an excellent teacher and firstly demonstrated, and then guided us through making our own pots. We had great fun, the time just flew by. We were also delighted that we managed to make some nice pots, even though as a novice the shape of the pot is whatever appears rather than pre thought out design! We even added some colour which made the pots much more professional looking. We had a great day and I’d highly recommend this course"

Geraldine Francis Ceramics responded:

" Thank you for your review. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your morning. I will be in touch when your pots are ready to arrange sending them to you."
