Ceramics Taster - Hand Building for Beginners

We loved the workshop, the artist in residence was friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed having time and materials to get creative without any pressure to meet any particular targets or follow a particular direction apart for experimenting with the techniques we were shown.
The price was very good value for money and we would definitely consider coming back for more, especially if we lived nearer.
The area is very interesting and a bit off the beaten track, with independent shops to visit.

I had the best time!

Had a great time at Trylla with Jess yesterday. The 3.5 hours flew by, I could have stayed for hours! We covered three techniques, all very different and ranging in difficulty. Some things definitely didn't turn out how we expect they would. All round was a great hands on introduction

Jess was so helpful and very informative. She was v patient so would be great with all ages young and old, like me.!
We made 3 items and were never rushed.

Good pace of learning new skills, lots of variety to get creative with different colours and textures. Very open to allow you to learn at your own pace and make what you like.

We had a brilliant time and learnt so much about technique while having the freedom to create in our own style.

Relaxed, sociable vibe and informative instructor- we had a lovely afternoon. Absolutely recommend

It was a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon

Great afternoon, learning a lot and getting the chance to be a bit creative. Highly recommend

It was such a fun experience. I'll definitely be booking another workshop soon

We had a really great time with Jess! She’s so knowledgeable and taught us so much. Was a great creative Sunday.
I’d definitely love to do it again!!

Amazing time! Lovely host! Definitely recommend.

Really enjoyed my afternoon and can't wait to pick up my fired pieces. Our host was lovely, very knowledgeable and helpful. What a great way to spend a Sunday.

We both enjoyed this fun and creative introductory taste of clay making techniques. Jess, our tutor, was brilliant. Clear in her instructions and very easy-going and unpretentious. She communicated her own love of working in clay and created a lovely atmosphere for making. Can't wait to go and collect our pieces once they've been glazed and fired.

Really enjoyed our pottery workshop, very well structured and plenty of time to complete our pieces, lots of helpful tips and support from our very knowledgeable teacher. Thanks for a lovely relaxed afternoon! Would definitely recommend.

Really great experience, super friendly host and great value for money! Would definitely recommend!

Had a really great time and cannot stop thinking about what I’m going to create next. Clay club here I come.

Loved learning some hand building skills and creating some fun pieces. Jess was great at explaining and just generally lovely. It was nice meeting others and chatting to new people. Cant wait to collect my bits when they have been fired. Will be booking more time here.

We all really enjoyed it. Some water on the table was all that was missing!

I enjoyed my time at this pottery taster! The host was very chill, gave us great tips, and helped us with our work. It was great fun to get my hands on the clay and form my own creations. Would recommend for someone looking for an easy-going, calm, zero-pressure environment to learn in!

Jess was lovely and explained everything very well! She taught us three different techniques for hand building and then we had the freedom to make whatever we liked which was great! It was a very therapeutic and creative activity and I hope to go back soon :)

Relaxing afternoon learning new creative skill. Great tutor who gave just the right amount of help when needed.

This was super fun and a lovely, cosy atmosphere!

Very enjoyable and relaxing afternoon

Had a fantastic time with my 3 children after they booked this as a mother's day treat. We will definitely be booking up for further clay club experiences, think we'll try the wheel next😊

We thoroughly enjoyed this taster session. It was perfect for people who had literally never touched clay before. The teacher explained the basics and then always showed us one technique and let us have a go. Then next technique and we could play around with it again. She was there if we had questions but we had the freedom to explore and enjoy the session without feeling micromanaged. The amount of pieces you get out of it is pretty amazing too for a first session, we were so pleased! :)

Could have easily carried in for another hour, was so much fun

Had a great time and learnt some awesome techniques

Great chance to learn all the basic pottery skills and great value for money with plenty of pieces to enjoy at the end. Thank you :)

Had such a lovely day, with my partner. Thank you so much!

Had a lot of fun and our hosts were really knowledgable! Looking forward to putting my newfound pottery skills to good use.

It was really good fun and informative as well! Great value for money as well as you are able make a lot of pottery items using different techniques.

Lovely afternoon

Thoroughly enjoyable messy afternoon!

Fun experience, we tried 3 different techniques and now waiting for our creations to be ready. Very friendly and helpful host

I had a great time at my ceramics taster session, Ella was really flexible in moving at the pace of the group and I did not feel I needed to rush to keep up. I would definitely recommend to a friend and would love to get more involved in ceramics after my taster session - thank you !

Had a really nice day - host was very knowledgeable and easy going. Would highly recommend for any beginner or just anyone looking for something fun to do :)

Thoroughly enjoyed the day. Look forward to seeing my finished pieces soon

Alice is a lovely, relaxed and enthusiastic host and explains well what you need to do. The time flies by and we made and decorated 4 pieces. Hopefully once they’re fired and glazed they will look surprisingly good!

I had such a good time! The session was long enough to not feel rushed, and despite no experience with ceramics I made three successful pieces! I was apprehensive about an in-person class but it was very small and fully masked, and felt quite safe. I would definitly recommend it to anyone who wants to try something new.

Very well paced session

Ella and Alice are excellent hosts, very friendly and helpful, had a ry lovely and chill afternoon making things!
