PoppyRose reviews

Mark Wright reviewed: Pottery classes in Teesside

"Thoroughly enjoyed my pottery session at Poppyrose where i made a mug (on the wheel). This was only possible, because of the instructions and tuition, which were clearly explained and demonstrated by a very skilled potter, Louise. A friendly enviroment in the heart of Stockton, highly recommend the pottery taster sessions, to those who want to try something new."

PoppyRose responded:

"Thank you for your kind review, Mark. I am happy to hear you enjoyed your pottery experience, your mug is fabulous. Thanks, Louise"

"Surprise anniversary present from my husband. We had the most fantastic time learning to throw a pot on the wheel, returning once it was fired to paint and glaze the pot. Louise was absolutely brilliant, patient, informative and very knowledgeable. Would recommend this taster session as a fun activity."

PoppyRose responded:

"Thank you so much for your kind review. It was a pleasure to have you both and your pots look great. Best wishes, Louise"

Jane reviewed: Pottery classes in Teesside

"I don't know where to start really because everything about this course is just simply amazing. I was over the moon when I discovered there was a pottery course near to me, then I was blown away with how fun it was once I started. I have made a range of different things, and Louise is fantastic at helping you through every step of the way if you are unsure. I look forward to this class every week, it is definitely a highlight! From beginners to advanced it is a place for everyone, so don't be afraid if you fancy giving it a go or even buying it for a friend to experience - just do it. I only just wish I'd done it sooner."

PoppyRose responded:

"Thank you for your kind review Jane! You are a pleasure to have in the class and have made some wonderful pots."

We both thoroughly enjoyed the experience, our pots didn’t look too bad once they were painted! Louise was very helpful, patient and encouraging. I will be Recommending Poppy Rose to others. Thanks again for having us."

"Poppy Rose pottery classes are great! Beginners to experienced potters and everyone in between will learn new skills and techniques, be inspired and take home their creations. Classes are small, relaxed and fun and Lou is a helpful, encouraging tutor and ... is a Top Potter :) I’ve also enjoyed felting classes and quilting at Poppy Rose .Get involved!"

Lauren Rhodes reviewed: Pottery classes in Teesside

"Booked the pottery class as a gift for my Mums 60th birthday - great fun, a bargain, and Louise was a great tutor! Using the wheel was definitely a challenge but worth it - we made 2 pots each and returned to paint them. There was a large selection of unusual colours to choose from and they turned out fab as a first attempt - very pleased! The shop was filled with lots of interesting crafts - we’ll definitely be back to have a go at something else x"

"Louise has the gift of inspiring you to create and develop your own skill at your own pace and create beautiful and interesting pottery in your own individual way. The environment is relaxing and friendly. I can highly recommend this class at any level and to anyone as Louise pays everyone individual attention to match their own aspirations."

Leanne Walker reviewed: Pottery classes in Teesside

"Louise's classes are educative without failing to be good fun. Louise is patient and she can give you ideas on projects to carry out or will guide independent ideas. She harnesses the student's own creativity and problem solving skills interjecting only where necessary. The classes provide a relaxing environment for the students to 'bounce' ideas off one another. I personally am not very 'arty' but have produced beautiful slab work from trinket dishes to decorative bowls and plates. Whether it is sculpting or the wheel you fancy 'Poppy Rose' is definitely the right place for you."

Mateena reviewed: Pottery classes in Teesside

"Great relaxing atmosphere to pick up a new hobby. Started going regularly for a year but unfortunately have moved now. Have made some wonderful gifts, Xmas decorations, bowls, pots and incense burners. Great teaching support from Lou and introduction to using a wheel."

Joanne Taylor reviewed: Pottery classes in Teesside

"I look forward to my pottery class all week. Poppy Rose is an excellent venue for all things pottery. I was a total beginner and now I feel more confident to express myself while doing what I love. Louise is an excellent teacher and the atmosphere in class is great.??????????"

Pauline reviewed: Pottery classes in Teesside

"I have been attending the pottery sessions for over a yr now. I am thoroughly enjoying the sessions. Lou( teacher) provides a very friendly atmosphere and gives us one to one attention every wk. The classes are in small groups and is very relaxed. I started with pinch pot bowls and have made various pieces including a clock, Christmas decorations and a teapot? I highly recommend these classes for anyone who is interested in making crafts"

"Poppy Rose offers a great friendly setting. Classes are very motivational, fun and productive. Louise is keen to help you achieve your goal and appreciates all her students' work. This class is suitable for both beginners and experienced potters."

Maureen Kernan reviewed: Pottery classes in Teesside

"I had absolutely no experience of pottery whatsoever; I received an introductory voucher as a Christmas gift in 2016 and I have kept the weekly classes up since then. The classes are relaxed and friendly but very educational. Louise teaches many techniques and provides all the tools and materials one needs. Self expression is encouraged but Louise is always on hand to offer suggestions for new projects. I love these classes and would encourage any one to join the group whether experienced or beginner."

Abigail Bean reviewed: Pottery classes in Teesside

"I absolutely loved this course. I went for a taster course with my father and we really enjoyed the experience. Louise allowed us to use the wheel which we were very pleased with and gave us brilliant advise and instructions. It was a very relaxed environment and we were able to use our own creativity throughout the lesson. I would highly recommend this to everybody- no matter how skilled in pottery they are."

Jacqueline Bright reviewed: Pottery classes in Teesside

"I love going to this pottery class and it's the highlight of my week. The 2 hours pass too quickly. Louise is brilliant and helps with ideas and teaches you the skills of pottery, one to one, in a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. She is always interested and encouraging in whatever project you are on with. There is a lot of equipment and different tools available to use and Louise has her own kiln for the firing. I'm so glad my friend introduced me to pottery, with Louise and her lovely Mam, Ann, at Poppy Rose!"

thelma johnston reviewed: Pottery classes in Teesside

"Very friendly, good instructions and Louise is extremely supportive and helpful. I am very pleased with the items I have made.
