Recent reviews of Beginners Hand Building Taster Class
- 5/5 from Hannah Subasinghe, attended Oct 2026: This was my second time coming to Sajo Ceramic studio, and safe to say I'll be back a third time! The staff are so friendly and helpful, particularly Georgie, who helped with the hand building. She was a delight to work with, and always checked in or offered support. Highly recommend this studio!
- 5/5 from Shelley Potter, attended Aug 2026: We had so much fun! Everyone one was so helpful and friendly! Thank you so much!
- 5/5 from Sabine Brindley, attended Aug 2026: Highly recommended for team events! Our office team recently attended a hand-building pottery class here, and it was an absolute hit. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and had an amazing time. The atmosphere was fun and relaxed, making it the perfect team-building activity. In fact, a few of our team members loved it so much they are already planning to book further individual sessions. Thank you to the wonderful team for hosting us, we’ll definitely be back! Sabine B.
- 4/5 from Catherine Fouche, attended Aug 2026: I really enjoyed the clay hand-building taster class. Everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, which made the experience welcoming and relaxed.
- 5/5 from Natasha Sampson, attended Jul 2026: My mum and I both loved this class. Georgie explained everything really well. Will be booking again!
- 5/5 from Alexandra Kund, attended Jul 2026: The reason I booked this class is because I want to start a ceramics business but I wanted to learn a little more about clay from a professional before I really get into it. I learnt about the differences between air dry clay and pottery clay. I learnt how to build a piece up bit by bit. I learnt about different tools. My teacher was very welcoming and I felt comfortable asking questions. The atmosphere felt like a year 12 art class in the best way, where everyone is talking and working on their own projects. It felt community based I liked it. I made a berry strainer :3
- 5/5 from Stephanie Horne, attended Jul 2026: Great Class! Our instructor was so sweet and really informative. Sally was very hospitable and kind and had great advice too. Overall, we had the best time. We will deifntiely be back!
- 5/5 from Daniel Whitehead, attended Jun 2026: Great teachers Awesome enviroment, very welcoming All the teachers were really helpful Looking forward to the next class
