Hannah reviewed: Introductory pottery wheel throwing taster sessions

"This course was excellent. Lorraine is clearly extremely knowledgeable and quickly taught us enough basics to give it a try. I was pleased to see the tips she gave us made it feel easy to throw on a wheel, something I'd always been intimidated by before."

Prin reviewed: Introductory pottery wheel throwing taster sessions

"The taster pottery session was a very good basic class in which there was plenty time to practice on several pots. Lorraine was very helpful and supportive, as well as informative on exactly how to practice hands on and learn a new skill as a hobby or anything else which was meditating and lots of fun too. "

"Many thanks indeed for the kind words and I hope to see you again at some time. Lorraine at Woodsetton"

Marie and Paul reviewed: Introductory pottery wheel throwing taster sessions

"Me and my husband had a great couple of hours on the course. We found the place easily, with the clear instructions. We both really enjoyed it. Lorraine was amazing, so nice, helpful, knowledgeable and down to earth. I was a bit nervous to begin with but she put me at ease and was very encouraging. I couldn't believe I actually made 4 pots! Would definitely recommend this course. Everything great!"
