Dianne reviewed: Pottery classes in Teesside

"Loved my afternoon working with clay and fashioning owl pots. The basics were clearly explained and then we were able to customise our designs however we wanted. Only 6 people in the workshop, so individual attention was available if required. Who knew that working with clay was so relaxing!"

PoppyRose responded:

"HI Dianne, Thank you for your review. It's lovely to hear you enjoyed your pottery experience! Your owl planter is fabulous. Best wishes, Louise"

Helen Leahy reviewed: Pottery classes in Teesside

"I attended the taster session at Poppy Rose and made a usable mug with a hand building technique and also a subsequent session to glaze them. We were able to choose different equipment to work with and given lots of creative freedom to play around with our designs. Louise is a very friendly and approachable teacher and didn’t mind the hundreds of questions we asked about the process! I would definitely recommend and will be going again. Thank you Louise."

"Hi Helen, thank you so much for your kind review, much appreciated! It's lovely to hear you enjoyed your pottery experience, your mug is fabulous, well done! Best wishes, Louise"

"Family with 3 kids (13,13,10) did a taster course. We were taught how to make a pot on the electric and hand wheel, Louise made it look very easy! She was great with the kids letting them try things and helping try to create what they wanted without taking over. Great experience. Thanks Louise."
