First time ever using clay and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Gillian and Viv were so patient and knowledgeable. Plenty of clay and materials for everyone and the food was beautiful. Cannot wait to try it again

I really enjoyed A Day in Clay, both Viv and Gill were so knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole process. The food by Ellie was absolutely delicious, it was lovely to spend time with some really great people creating our own individual altars. Really looking forward to how they all turn out and I would highly recommend anyone interested in trying this to sign up

I started pottery at the beginning of last year, and it has quickly become one of my favourite things. I always look forward to Tuesdays, it’s a special time each week to recharge, slow down, and create.

Viv’s approach is truly wonderful. She is not only a great teacher and a phenomenal artist, but also a beautiful soul whose calm energy creates a welcoming space filled with curiosity and empathy.

Gillian’s studio is very cosy, and in the summer it’s especially joyful to be surrounded by greenery and beautiful natural light.

I highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a creative, nurturing, and inspiring experience.

My girlfriend and I had a great time on Valentines Day. Gillian was really friendly, very knowledgeable and took the time to take us through everything we needed to know about using the potters wheel. Even managed to make some questionable looking bowls! Totally recommend this place. Get booking if you haven’t already.
