Recent reviews of Beginners Wheel Throwing Taster Class

  • 5/5 from Sam Scully, attended Oct 2026: We had such a fun afternoon! Beautiful location and our teacher was so kind and supportive. We were able to make so many things to take home and we had a lot of fun together. We were shown the basics and then we had time for some support trying some more difficult things like taller vases and trinket dishes. Would definitely do another class!
  • 5/5 from Christine East, attended Oct 2026: This class was a gift for my birthday because it's been years since I threw on a wheel. We had such a great time. There was such a positive and peaceful atmosphere and Renee was a wonderful teacher. My partner and I were both so pleased with what we created. This class was so rewarding!
  • 5/5 from Ricky Cubley, attended Oct 2026: This was such an Amazing class! Georgie was a wonderful teacher and very encouraging whilst giving us plenty of space to practice and play. You get to make quite a few little pieces which is pretty exciting to finish a class and see your own work come to life!
  • 5/5 from Kate Yates, attended Sep 2026: We had a blast! Renee was great - showing us examples at first then letting us have a go. She was always close by to help with any questions or support. Using the gift card we got was also super easy. Already planning to come back and would recommend to everyone!
  • 5/5 from Vanessa Carson, attended Sep 2026: I gifted my friend a pottery taster at Sajo and we had the best time. We had fantastic guidance by Jessie who helped us to complete a number of pieces. Jessie made the day fun, and the little extra detail of balloons on my friends chair to celebrate her birthday was fantastic. I am really looking forward to going back to Sajo for more creative experiences.
  • 5/5 from Jessica Dwery, attended Aug 2026: Amazing class, lots of fun, plus they explained the basics well. Then it's up to you if you just want to play, or if you want help. They're as hands on or off as you choose! Can't wait to come back to play some more!
  • 5/5 from Arthur Kouris, attended Aug 2026: What’s fun activity. Facilities and staff were great and Jessie was awesome. Highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Rowen Aldermay, attended Aug 2026: My wife and I came for a date afternoon with the taster wheel throwing session and had a blast. The instructors were super helpful, giving me (first time) clear instructions and my wife (had done a fair bit of pottery but had a big break) great tips to get back into it. They progressed the tips as we learnt and on top of that, the class was great value with 6 pieces being fired (twice) as part of the cost and a very very small fee for extra pieces. Would recommend!
  • 5/5 from Bek Milikins, attended Jul 2026: A great experience, very patient teaching, a great studio and everything well organised so we could just do the fun part. between my daughter and I we made 12 beautiful bowls and cups. Think we’re totally hooked and will certainly be back soon
