Testimonials

 

Went to the pottery experience this morning for our first throwing session and it exceeded all expectations.

Hazel was an excellent teacher and had so much knowledge and patience. Was amazed with how our pottery turned out, can’t wait to go back and paint! Would definitely recommend giving it a go. 🍶 🎨 🥣

What a fabulous way to spend an afternoon!

My partner and I visited The Pottery Experience today to have a go at painting. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon! The venue is bright and welcoming, the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable and everything has been incredibly well thought out. The prices are very reasonable and I really liked how there was something to suit all budgets. We can’t wait to go and collect our mugs once they have been in the kiln and will definitely be back.
