“Just picked up my pottery creations after doing the 6 week beginner course.  Absolutely loved the class and thrilled with the pieces I was able to bring home. Great introduction to pottery on the wheel which took me from hopeless on day 1 to confident and calm over the following weeks.  Highly recommended fun.”
