This has been a great little course. You learn lots of different techniques and are very free (as my wife discovered) to really make things your own and they were very supportive in that. By the end, you are given free rein to explore the techniques you enjoyed the most. We booked straight onto the next course after we had finished
I’ve really enjoyed the 5 week beginners course with Gillian. It’s been a great introduction. As well as providing lots of information, instruction and sharing her knowledge and experience, Gillian has encouraged everyone’s individuality, creativity and personal exploration. I’m looking forward to learning more in May. Thank you.
Such a lovely start to a new journey - Gillian has so much talent and knowledge and I learnt so much. Highly recommended
This has been an excellent introduction to pottery. Gillian is a great teacher, very generous with her knowledge and explains things clearly.
Very informative and a brilliant introduction to pottery
Really enjoyed this course, building on what I had learned and tried out in the beginners course to experiment and start to work out the kind of pottery and ceramics I want to make. Gillian is a very helpful and supportive teacher, and it was great to regularly meet with such a lovely group of potters
We had an excellent time. Gillian is a very knowledgeable and patient teacher…
really loved the session
encouraging and informative, a go on the wheel as well as hand making. People made several items, differing abilities but not competitive in the least. Would highly recommend
I attended the pottery session yesterday, it was beyond fantastic. I really enjoyed the wheel with Karen. Gillian was outstanding at explaining how to use clay and gave me lots of amazing ideas on my designs. It was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon. I am looking forward to learning more or completing another course with Gillian. I felt at home hearing the Northern Irish accent.
wonderfully welcoming, lots of 1-1 help and encouragement, a lovely few hours of experimentation!
Thank you for a really lovely taster session on Saturday. Gillian and Viv were so welcoming and friendly and really made us feel at ease with a great delivery style. It was a great small group and we got to try pinch, slab and potters wheel with 3 pieces made. I left there with a general spattering of clay on me and with a silly big smile on my face for the rest of the day. It was really nice to see so many other different pieces and styles in the workshop that others were making and were in various stages of progress. Looking forward to collecting the finished pieces and booking on the next available beginners course! I’d definitely recommend this taster session.
I encourage everyone to try this, regardless of their experience level. A warm, inclusive environment makes it a weekly highlight for everyone. Viv’s gentle, accepting teaching style inspired us all to reach our full potential. It comes with my highest recommendation.
I thoroughly enjoyed this beginners course. I have never done any pottery so this was a totally new experience for me. I feel I have learnt so much in the six weeks and Viv has been a great teacher. I am really looking forward to seeing the pieces I have made after their final firing. I enjoyed it so much I am thinking of doing another course with you.
An immensely enjoyable morning. Both were very helpful and patient. Well recommended.
A really pleasant and fun time. The morning catered for all levels and ages and nothing was too much trouble. A worthwhile experience. Thank you.
Better than I could’ve hoped! What a jam packed taster session. Gutted can’t make an entire beginners course as the clay was just such a joy to work with and the activities and creative options and guidance and tuition all just brilliant. So proud of the work I made. Great class. Highly highly recommend. I want to go again tomorrow!
I had a wonderful time on the course with Gill and Viv!! I worked along side some lovely potters! I was made to feel relaxed and everything was explained really well! We tried all types of pottery and throughout i felt really well supported and the facilities were excellent! I will definitely book the intermediate course in the new year!!
Lovely group, very welcoming. Really enjoyed my time there, and will be back for another course.
The taster session was great. I was able to make a pot using the wheel and also made things by hand. Coaching was good and happy to help any time it was needed.
Amazing class. Lots of great information. So many things can be made. The ladies were so friendly. Will definitely book again.
