"Booked this course for my mom and 4 other family members to create some memories as my mom has terminal cancer. They all thoroughly enjoyed it and are already planning on coming back to have another go. Sharon was extremely helpful and most importantly, very patient. I am looking forward to returning with my family and having a go myself."

Maria reviewed: 1hr Potter's Wheel at the Crafty Potter Lancashire

"Our tutor was lovely and took us through what to do then we had free time to do our own thing. It would have been beneficial for our tutor to stay with us as we still needed her guidance me in particular as one of our lovely items just needed our tutor to help finish it off and avoid a collapse."

The Crafty potter responded:

"Hi Maria Thank you for your review. Our classes are designed to give you both tutored & time alone, so you can have a play and experience the wheel. During time by yourselves it is explained that we are around and shout us over as much as you need to. We always ensure that you get at least one pot of the wheel even if this means going over time, as we did for you on your visit. Unfortunately your last try was to wet to be saved, it all part of the fun when learning :)"

Gill reviewed: 1hr Potter's Wheel at the Crafty Potter Lancashire

"I was bought the 1 hour potters wheel course as a present as it’s something I’ve always wanted to try but had never seen the opportunity to do so before, it was excellent. Hannah was a great instructor who put us at ease straight away. My 2 pots will certainly not be gracing any art galleries but I really enjoyed it anyway! "

Cameron reviewed: 1hr Potter's Wheel at the Crafty Potter Lancashire

"Due to matters 100% out of my control I was not able to attend (the weather) and they were unwilling to arrange any form of compensation for me ie refund reschedule etc so I deleted £70 from my bank account. "

The Crafty potter responded:

"Morning Cameron. Thank you for your review. Unfortunately short notice cancellations and reschedules are not a rare occurrence for us, and as much as we would genuinely love to honour requests as a small business, we can no longer sustain the losses these incur and had to put in place our strict cancellation policy. This you were aware of prior to booking. The weather warning did not say to avoid travelling, it was that there may be delays in your journey. The class went ahead as planned, with all other attendees and the class tutor being present, we are sorry you were unable to join us. Warmest regards sharon"

keeley reviewed: Full day pottery experience

"Absolutely wonderful day, Sharon and the other ladies were lovely, I bought the day pottery experience for myself, mum and sister to do. It was our first time using clay and the potters wheel and doing anything like it, but Sharon was great in showing us what to do and gave us plenty of time on each activity so we didn't feel rushed. We made three items, (two on the wheel and one by hand) and then glazed a cup. Its a fabulous studio set within Heskin shopping village, which had lots of other little shops worth a visit too! We all are looking forward to returning to glaze the pots we made! Thank you so much xx "

The Crafty potter responded:

"Thanks for your awesome review, we really appreciate it. It was lovely having you all join us in the studio- you did fab! See you soon Sharon x"

Heather Carberry reviewed: 1hr Potter's Wheel at the Crafty Potter Lancashire

"What a brilliant time we had! Three complete beginners were welcomed by Sharon and tutored by Hannah. It’s much harder than it looks on the Telly but with instructions we all managed to produce a pot. It’s very relaxing and mindful concentrating on trying to form the clay but also great fun. We had a lot of laughs and are going to come back for another go! I thoroughly recommend this course, we had a grand day out browsing the stalls and a lovely lunch. You’ll get a very warm welcome in a lovely friendly atmosphere and try something new. 🤗👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻"

The Crafty potter responded:

"Thank you Heather for your fab review, you all did awesome xx"
