Wheel Throwing Class: Clay Soirée review by Lisa Butterworth - Melbourne


Richard Bernard Crewe




This was a Christmas present that my daughter bought me and in return I got her a voucher to. The venue is small, but it was also a small class so no problems. Our teacher Ron gave us our safety gear and talk. As it was only a beginner's class, we did not expect too much, but we made an "S" hook with a twist out of 10mm straight bar. Ron's helping hands and knowledge guided us. Both of us really enjoyed  + more

Had a wonderful afternoon at the beginner wheel throwing workshop - the teacher was great and provided us with some guidance and techniques to use. Venue was welcoming and clean with all the equipment ready for us to use. I purchased this as a gift for my niece and sister - we're all looking forward to attending our next pottery session. Thanks so much for making it an enjoyable afternoon

Kristy Watts




Eddie was marvellous, a very patient teacher, instructions were simple and the atmosphere relaxed. Plenty of clay available for all our mistakes, and the equipment was in terrific order. I didn’t even get as grubby as I thought because they had plenty of aprons too! I really enjoyed my afternoon, it was a great gift and I hope to go again!
