    We had a great time, and our pots turned looking great! Talia and Carole were very good at explaining what to do and helping out when the clay didn't do what we expected.

    Went with my partner as part of her birthday present. It was so much fun, Sarah was very professional and patient with us. We learned alot and enjoyed each stage of using a potters wheel. It was messy, so be prepared. The second part was to paint our finished pot which will be fired to complete the process. A great experience and the whole morning was a real treat. Our finished results will be ready for collection in about 4 weeks. Would highly recommend this experience.

    Booked 2.5 hour pottery session as Xmas gift for my mum. She'd never used a pottery wheel, but our tutor, Talia, was amazingly patient. She gave instructions and demos which we followed to make our own pots. We were then free to paint and decorate them. Excellent value for money and a lovely way to spend an afternoon. Give it a go!

    Carole and her daughter Talia were brilliant teachers. The session was fun and informative! Can’t wait to see the final pots after they’ve been glazed and fired!

    Completed a course at Clay with Carole, learning different techniques; coil, slab and pinching as well as firing and glazing. Thoroughly enjoyable time in a lovely garden studio with wonderful people. Can't wait to go again!

    We had a private today with Carole. I purchased it for my partner's birthday as I knew he wanted to try the wheel and sculpting. We were not disappointed at all. carole welcomed us into her professional unit and explored with us what we would like to create. Well we had a lovely time working with the clay by hand then the wheel in the afternoon. She was very attentive, super knowledgeble, and an expert in this industry. A great day, great value, and great creations. We liked it that much we hope to start weekly evening classes with Carole. I would wholly recommend clay with Carole.👌
