Sharon Martin reviewed: Wheel throwing experience - half day course

"Jayne was very welcoming and creates a relaxed atmosphere which really helped with the experience. Clear instruction and a demonstration really helped and it was just the right balance of help and letting you have a go. In fact I spent a lot more time on the wheel than I imagined I would and managed 4 pots! Jayne is super encouraging and very calm, putting mistakes right and helping you achieve something to be proud of. Can’t wait to see how they look after firing. Highly recommend as a great intro and I think I’m hooked on looking at further ceramic experiences."

The Studio at Clapham responded:

"Thank you so much Sharon. It was a pleasure! I look forward to seeing you again soon."

Steve Barrett reviewed: Make your own ceramic garden ornaments

"I had a fantastic day with Jayne in her Studio making ornaments for the garden. The possibilities were endless but I settled on making some plant stake toppers, a sign for the shed and a toad to sit beside my pond. What great value for money this course is, had I gone out to purchase these things it would have cost a fortune and I wouldn’t have had anywhere near as much fun and satisfaction. I shall certainly be going back for more!"

The Studio at Clapham responded:

"Thank you Steve I’m so pleased you loved your pots and the day. I look forward to seeing you in 2020"

Heather reviewed: Tailored pottery workshops: handbuilding and throwing

"I recently spent a day with Jayne with 3 other friends on a workshop. It was quite simply amazing! Having had very little knowledge about Working with clay , I have come away feeling entirely capable and empowered to start making my own work, the techniques of it all now exciting rather than off-putting! I couldn't recommend Jayne as a teacher more; she's super knowledgable and great at explaining stuff, plus she's a lot of fun to hang out with, which makes for a lovely experience! If you're thinking about taking one of her workshops, just do it, you won't regret it!"

The Studio at Clapham responded:

"Thank you Heather x"

Deidre reviewed: Porcelain tea lights & incense burners workshop

"I spent the day with Jayne making tea lights and vases using Porcelain paper clay. I was so delighted with the results! That’s me in the photograph for this course. I had never touched clay in my life before and certainly have never made anything so accomplished. I gave all the pieces as gifts for Christmas and all of the recipients were thrilled. Jayne was a really good teacher, she coached me and encouraged me every step of the way to make sure I had great results. I enjoyed this so much I also did Jayne’s Garden Ornaments Workshop and the Raku Firing Day. I can’t recommend highly enough."

The Studio at Clapham responded:

"Thank you Deidre, I’m happy you enjoyed your day as much as I did. Thank you for taking time to write a review."
