Jess was a great host, calm and encouraging and enthusiastic about her craft. It was a very enjoyable and absorbing experience. I am really looking forward to collecting my finished piece when it has been fired.
I thoroughly enjoyed this experience, Jess was a lovely tutor. I am very please with my efforts too.
We booked this with a few friends for a 50th and I REALLY loved it. Jess was bloody brilliant and pitched it just right for all of us with various age and levels of creativity. I would definitely do this again.
I really enjoyed this workshop, Jess was a great teacher, very friendly and approachable. I had no experience whatsoever of pottery and found it easy to follow. My friend and I were lucky enough to be the only two in this workshop so it felt lovely and chilled. Can't wait to see how my oil burner has turned out! Would recommend this workshop to anyone.
Unfortunately, I will no longer be accepting last minute cancellations or rescheduling due to covid related issues as Government regulations have been dropped in regards to covid.
