Half day on the Pottery wheel

Steve B reviewed: Half day on the Pottery wheel

"Really fun experience and a new skill to boot!!! My dog will love her new food bowl and I'll be able to drink my morning coffee from my very own handmade mug. I would recommend for a group of friends or family, but equally good fun for an individual as the pottery is a small friendly environment."

"Rachel's enthusiasm for potting shines through. The whole process was comprehensively explained and additional questions all answered. The half day was over in a flash!"

"Thoroughly enjoyed my half day pottery wheel class with Rachel, who was both very skilful at demonstrating and helpful when things went awry, as they did for all of us at some point! I was surprised just how physical it all was, particularly in the early stages of 'middling' the clay. It was very pleasing to work with something organic and produce two handsome and useful (I hope!) pieces. There was time to munch a banana at half time, and thank you so much for the Himalayan poppy seedheads! I would love to return for another session."

"thank you for coming do dry out the poppys and throw on the garden in spring x"

"Overall the half day throwing course was brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyed it. My only, hopefully constructive criticism is that, given the cost for 4 hours (a) it would have been nice to be offered refreshments at the beginning while the course leader was talking about different clays and glazes and firing temperatures, but nothing was offered until half way through the half day, and (b) there was a lot of information to take in....an information sheet/handout would have been very useful. Having said all that, the actual teaching in how to throw a pot was excellent."
