I started in 2021 as an absolute beginner and managed to fit in 16 classes in the COVID affected year. I am amazed at how much better my pieces were from term one to the end of the year. Georgie is the main teacher on Wednesday morning and she is a patient and delightful teacher, incredibly encouraging and helpful with technique. I also really enjoyed classes that Sarah (the owner) took when Georgie was away. It’s great to have the same thing explained in a different way and the combination of the two teaching styles really works. Sarah is very talented and really makes you believe that you can produce beautiful work. I will continue in the beginners class as everyone continues at their own pace and the teachers help is provided at whatever level you are at. I managed to have a number of pieces I was very proud to give to friends and family as Christmas gifts. I would rate as 5 stars.
Sarah is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had the pleasure of having! She offers 1:1 help/teaching throughout the class and isn’t just an excellently skilled and super talented ceramicist and teacher, but becomes your friend in the process! Her studio is cosy, yet spacious and you get delicious teas and sweet treats while you’re there. I felt super comfortable, learnt a lot and quickly too, and really enjoyed every class with Sarah! Can’t wait to come back!
