Josie Warshaw Ceramics reviews

Neill reviewed: Make and decorate a ceramic bowl in one session

"We both had such an amazing time making bowls with Josie. She talked us through every stage of the process, demonstrating what to do, and helped us to understand why we were doing it. She has such a wealth of knowledge. The process of making the bowls was great fun, and was very relaxed too. We picked up our finished bowls a few weeks later when we were back in London, and they now have pride of place in our entrance hall. We would highly recommend this experience."

"Many Thanks for your positive review ...I hope to see you again for another making session ."

"I visited the Sunday bowl making clay course with Josie. She has a great studio with a very friendly and nice atmosphere. Josie provided a lot of knowledge and techniques and I learnt a lot from her. She is a very inspiring and talented person that everyone would like to be surrounded by. Will definitely visit her classes again! Thank you, Josie! :))"

Josie Warshaw Ceramics responded:

"Many Thanks for your review Demana. I look forward to seeing you again in the near future perhaps at the Kingsgate Workshops Trust for our Hey Clay open Studios? 18th and 19th of May ."

Liana reviewed: Make and decorate a ceramic bowl in one session

"My friend and I were looking for a course to use the vouchers we got for our birthdays and I can say we could not have found a better place. Time flew by as we tried (and fairy succeded I may add) to shape the clay in what was to be our bowls. I chose to make a yarn bowl as I didn't really need a normal one but a yarn bowl definitely comes in handy. Josie was super nice and explained everything very well. The place is very comfy and intimate and she provided us with everything we needed. I would definitely like to return to make a smaller version - however, I am sure it will not look anything like the one I already made. And that's ok :) Seriously, if you're looking for a fun yet chilled Saturday morning, this is the place. A piece of advice - make sure to cut your nails otherwise you'll get really annoyed trying to get the marks off the bowl :)"

Josie Warshaw Ceramics responded:

"Thank you for your lovely review Liana...maybe see you again for a Hey Clay workshop ?? Or perhaps to make another bowl ?"

"Spending the morning with Josie was so much fun! She’s a kind, warm, welcoming lady with heaps of experience and insight to offer. Definitely a beginner friendly bowl-making course - with a gratifying bowl to cherish at the end!"

Sunsun reviewed: Make and decorate a ceramic bowl in one session

"Absolutely loved this workshop. Having one afternoon being creative and chatting with people from everywhere in a nice open atmosphere is a really great experience. Plus I can pick the fired work up afterwards. The fire itself is full of magical. And living in this lovely expectation of a few weeks of a new piece made by myself is such a wonderful thing. So far I made a bowl and a cat cup from Josie's workshop. She is a wonderful teacher, a great listener, and a good friend of us now. Best thing is, drinking from a cup made by myself, even ordinary tea taste a million times better :)"

Sandra Marie reviewed: Make and decorate a ceramic bowl in one session

"I thoroughly enjoyed this course, which was perfect for a complete beginner like me to get a taste of ceramics making. There were only two of us attending the class, which was great to ask questions and have Josie’s full attention. Josie is lovely, supportive and very patient. I can’t wait to see my glazed masterpiece! ;-)"

Rachael Tomlinson reviewed: Make and decorate a ceramic bowl in one session

"I had so much fun and also relaxed for the first time in ages! Josie brings so much experience, but is also the loveliest, most patient, kind person and teacher; she's great company! Having tried other pottery courses this is by far the best, a very small group in her personal studio. Additionally she is very helpful if, like me you wish to continue hand-building at home, I have dropped new pieces back to her for firing, and Josie always gives you her time and help. Can't recommend more!"

Josie Warshaw Ceramics responded:

"Thank you for your lovely review Rachael. I look forward to spending more time with you when you come to my evening class on Thursdays. I feel you have caught the making with clay bug! Josie"

Natasha White reviewed: Make and decorate a ceramic bowl in one session

"Josie is the best kind of teacher - a huge wealth of experience and skill combined with an open mind and encouraging approach that enables you to create your own unique piece. I learnt so much in this morning session and yet the atmosphere is relaxed and fun. Josie guides you gently while you are hand building your ceramics, never imposing her ideas but offering suggestions and ideas for shape and decoration that will inspire you to make your best work. Once made, the pieces are fired in her kiln for you to collect later. Her studio is a wonder: full of her own lovely work, it is the ideal creative environment. A great course and helped me create a lovely bowl that I am proud to own. For beginners and the more experienced, this is one of the best ceramic events I have been to. I would definitely sign up again. I am delighted to give it five stars!"

Stacey Clark reviewed: Make and decorate a ceramic bowl in one session

"My myself and partner did this course last weekend and had such a great time! Josie was a really great teacher - really knowledgeable and so friendly too (and patient!). The group was small so Josie was able to give us each enough assistance with making sure our bowls were how we wanted. The bowls we made were great and we had the freedom to make them how we wanted. Thank you!"

Josie Warshaw Ceramics responded:

"Thank you for your review Stacey ..I glazed your bowls today and their second firing will happen on Friday so they will be ready for pick up very soon . I'm excited to see how your slip and oxide decorations come out with the honey glaze . ..i'll be in touch again soon . Regards for now Josie"

"I had such a great day with Josie. I booked the session for my girlfriends birthday and it was fantastic. Josie made us feel right at home and was a great teacher. Very patient and encouraging Josie’s knowledge and expertise helped us to fashion something beyond our ambitious hopes. I would recommend this course to anyone. It’s inspired us to become more involved in ceramics, all thanks to Josie’s help and instruction. A perfect day experience"
