Siobhan Murphy reviewed: One day slab-building clay workshop

"Myself and my partner had the best day with Louise making a plate and vase. The day went so quickly and we can not believe what we have produced by the time it finished. Louise is friendly, passionate about what she does and helps put your ideas into a master piece. There was so much choice from ideas, to coloured slips, textures, stamps you name it Louise would've had it! We are both looking at going back and making something else and we can not wait! If you're in two minds about booking this just book it, well worth the money and I promise you wont regret it ?"

De Randall reviewed: One day slab-building clay workshop

"My first experience of any kind of pottery and Louise made it the most therapeutic day I've spent in a long time. She is a fabulous teacher and makes you feel very comfortable and welcome. She gives lots of inspiration and spends time showing different techniques even if you don't have a clue like me! Can't wait to see my finished pieces and would seriously consider doing another day course with her. She also makes as many cuppas as you like! Loved it!"

"Thank you so much De for your glowing review! It was so lovely to work with you and help your designs to evolve from concept to ceramic outcome! I’m looking forward to firing your masterpieces and seeing your lovely colours come to life! :)"

Claire Rowan reviewed: One day slab-building clay workshop

"Louise ran a superb workshop for Suffolk Wildlife Trust at our Redgrave & Lopham Fen nature reserve this month. Louise beautifully guided people to create the most fabulous selection of nature-inspired ceramic plates. Everyone had a brilliant day and produced some inspiring designs, which I believe everyone was pleasantly surprised with having made in just one day. Louise had organised everything perfectly and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you."

Lora Cannon reviewed: One day slab-building clay workshop

"What a great way to spend a day - Louise ran a surface decoration workshop which was enjoyable and informative. She freely shared tips and methods and I now feel inspired and equipped to take on some creative projects of my own."
