Colin Jaycocks reviewed: Pottery wheel throwing taster

"Had a great morning, learning the basics of using a wheel to throw a pot. Good atmosphere in the workshop area, a simple but effective set-up. Clear instruction given and great patience shown by Richard with the number of attempts needed to arrive at a recognisable outcome, mainly pots but a few dishes thrown in. Positive feedback after each attempt. All 5 students arrived at one or two successful results by the end. Now, need to go back to glaze the pots at a later, to be arranged date."

Potterydayz responded:

"It was nice to see you at Potterydayz Colin. Thank you for your thorough review. Look forward to seeing you again in the near future. "

Brooke reviewed: Pottery wheel throwing taster

"We had a great afternoon learning how to throw on the pottery wheel. It was our first time and had no previous experience. Richard's class was pitched just right and was good fun. After teaching us the basics and producing a couple of pots we got the chance to do a few more to test what we'd learned. It made a great birthday present and would highly recommend."

Potterydayz responded:

"It was a pleasure to see you here at Potterydayz for some throwing. Thank you for your review and recommendation. I hope to see you again soon."

"Thank you for the review and recommendation. Really happy that you enjoyed the experience. Hope to see you all again soon."
