Such a great course! All the teachers were incredibly patient and great at explaining everything as we went along. Night recommend this course.

Felt like a creative retreat every Saturday. The staff are always so happy to greet you, and offer 1-on-1 support when you were too awestruck during Sarah's demonstrations. Pace of the course was perfect, taking us through throwing and trimming to glazing. I would love to try new tools, skills and glaze applications next time!
