"Spent a lovely Saturday afternoon on this workshop. Everything was provided (except material) that you need to make the stool. Steph explained thoroughly every stage and if at any time you were stuck Steph was there to put you back on track. The workshop was attended by five students giving it a lovely relaxed atmosphere.

"Wow! What a fabulous day! Louise's passion and enthusiasm for silver metal clay is infectious and I've come away feeling confident and inspired! She is a very attentive and patient teacher and has completely eradicated my fears towards using a kiln, and experimenting for the first time with silver clay. Her studio is very picturesque but practical, so you immediately feel at ease. I have created a pendant to be proud of and am chuffed to bits ?I thoroughly recommend her workshop day and will definitely be signing up for the 2 day workshop! THANK YOU LOUISE XX"

Emma reviewed: Pottery Tuition ~ Learn how to Throw on the Potter's Wheel, Slab-build and Coil in 1 Full Day's Attentive Teaching

"I had a lovely day with Sonya exploring pottery for the first time! It was wonderful to have the one to one tuition. This meant the day could flow naturally with what I found I enjoyed most and where I felt I'd like to get more experience. Sonya was a fantastic teacher, she gave me lots of different methods and ideas of how to work with the clay so that I could find what worked best for me. I am so pleased with the pots that we made together. I made 3 bowls, a large vase and finally managed to make a little jug after many failed attempts! I can't believe what we managed to do just in the one day. A testament to some really patient and creative teaching from Sonya. I'm now looking forward to glazing the pots and having the finished pieces at home. Thank you!"

Sonya Ceramic Art responded:

"Hi Emma, thank you so much for your lovely review. I'm so pleased you found the day so enjoyable and useful. Yes it was so rewarding to see you produce so many final pieces, especially seeing this was your first time - they will look fantastic when they are glazed! See you soon. Best Wishes, Sonya."

Steve Goldacre reviewed: One Day Pottery Throwing Course, including lunch - Hampshire

"I completed the one day throwing course, and it was excellent from start to finish. Jack was a great host and teacher. As some others have commented, Jack gives good clear instruction, and lets you work at a pace that suits you. Because the class is restricted to 4 people, Jack can keep a keen eye on everyone's progress and step in when needed. Great lunch too. If you're considering having a go at pottery, stop deliberating and sign-up... you won't be disappointed!"
