"We had a lovely afternoon painting snails. With Saz's guidance we picked very different colour combinations and finishes . Despite being very busy Saz managed to keep everyone happy from the couple throwing pots to the little girl painting a trinket We cannot wait to see the outcome of our endeavours ."

"My daughter and I really enjoyed our potter's wheel experience. Sarah was such a lovely teacher and it was fun being left to our own devices for our last attempt. Would happily spend more time at the wheel. Thanks so much. "

"Just finished our day Zentangle painting with Saz, and it's been such a good day! Great music, great conversation and great fun. Saz is super encouraging too, so even if things don't go entirely to plan you know it's still ok! This is a very therapeutic activity too. A day will spent. Highly recommend! Thanks Saz!"

Fran Hardisty reviewed: 'Have a go' Pottery workshop

"Enjoyed learning to use a potters wheel. Good to see a demonstration of the techniques first followed by guided pot making before having an independent go. Pleased with the outcome - 2 bowls each that we’re looking forward to seeing once they’ve been fired."

Saz's Ceramics & Crafts responded:

"Thanks for the feedback, Fran. Am looking forward to see how you paint your pots up once they're ready!"

Kerry Gibbons reviewed: Paint a Zentangle Platter

"What a wonderful experience! My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our morning in Saz's workshop. If you're looking for something fun, creative & relaxing, then this is definately for you. Saz is friendly, knows her stuff & made us feel at home. We hope to book up again for another of her workshops at christmastime. Would highly recommend..."

Julie Pain reviewed: Paint a Zentangle leaf man plaque

"I am Julie whose Zen man is pictured here. I have no experience in this type of art and basically it is doodling on a plaque. Thought I may have bitten off more than I could chew, but once I got into it the time flew by! I couldn’t wait to see my final efforts and was amazed how it turned out - took it to work to show off and they all wanted one! Gave them Saz’s number! Time to fit in a lunch from the superb cafe next door, but hydration kept up with tea and coffee with homemade biscuits on day I went - thanks Saz. Takes a good 4-5 hours but well worth it - and relaxing. I slept well that night from concentrating on doodles - who’d have thought it? Having my Zen man featured shows you don’t have to be an artist to have a go with what I think is a good result - he looks fab on my pergola post at home."

Julie Pain reviewed: Snail painting workshop

"This is my fourth project with Saz - I started small with a Peter Rabbit, then did a Santa - time to move to bigger things and I did a snail - called her Doris as all the others were men! Excellent tuition and really relaxing to do with a friend or on your own. Saz provides the tea and biscuits, a gossip and reminds you to breathe when you get too focussed! If you do the smaller snail, remember to consider how you paint it - I sat there with a hand in the shell as I painted it wrong way round and had to wait until it dried before I could put it down! Told a young visitor it was eating my hand and he believed me! I’ ll Be back for my next project soon.......and I am not the arty type. Thoroughly enjoyable experience would recommend to anyone."

Emma Smith reviewed: Snail painting workshop

"Treated my mum to this course for Mother’s Day as something a little different to do together. Saz made us feel so welcome and it was great to chat to other students who dropped in to work on their clay projects. We had a wonderful time and cannot wait to see our finished snails; Hughbert Sebastian Forbes and Horace! We will definitely be back."

Carly Grandini-Williams reviewed: Paint a Zentangle Platter

"I attended this course recently and it was amazing! Saz explained everything in easy to follow steps, and I felt completely at ease. I had an idea of what sort of patterns I wanted to try, but if you weren’t sure what to do straight away, Saz has plenty of ideas and suggestions to make your piece look fabulous! Saz is so patient and encouraging - I would recommend this to anyone! My finished plate is just beautiful!"

Lyndsey reviewed: Snail painting workshop

"Such an excellent and fun course to attend! Using specialist glazes to create fantastic effects enabling to make your style as simple or creative as you like. Definitely recommended!"

Emma Kilvert reviewed: Ceramic family handprint bowl heirloom

"We had a wonderful time creating out family hand bowl. Sarah explained clearly and took us through all the steps. Everything was ready for us and Sarah made it fun as well as easy to do. She was wonderful with our 2 year old, who really enjoyed joining in. Sarah is a great teacher and makes you feel a great sense of achievement. The bowl is beautiful and has pride of place in our home. We have also painted in her studio too, which is always brilliant fun for all of us. Thank you Sarah. We are looking forward to our next creation."
