What a great beginners class & teacher!
A fun morning getting creative with a friend.
We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere & no pressure to create a master piece. Our group was lovely & the conversation easy.
I loved that I could finally create my own mug to take home just for me! The small things

Natasha Thomson • Attended Oct 2026



Had everything i needed to be able to work independently. I was able to ask for advice when needed and help. There were classes going on but I still had enough space to work and move around and although the staff were teaching these classes when needed they offered their assistance and were absolutely lovely with the amount of people around.

Gayle Gillett • Attended Oct 2026

Holly Bajzath • Attended Sep 2026



We had such a great time at our Clay & Sip session at the Art Department!
Our teacher was fantastic – so friendly, patient and helpful throughout the whole class, jumping in to assist whenever anyone needed a hand with their creation.
We also loved that we weren’t all expected to make the same thing. Everyone was encouraged to get creative, have fun with it and just see where the clay took us, which made for some very different creations!
It was such a fun and relaxed activity for our team to switch off from work, have a laugh and spend some time together outside the office.
Would definitely recommend for a team event or just a fun afternoon with friends


Irina Zharinova • Attended Sep 2026



I came with a friend, and we had a lot of fun. The staff was very nice and gave us lots of guidance.

Manvir Kaur • Attended Sep 2026



I had such a lovely experience at the pottery class! The teacher was friendly, patient and very encouraging, making the class enjoyable even for a beginner. We got to learn the basics of working with clay and create our own pieces, which was such a fun and relaxing experience.
What I liked most was the hands-on experience and the welcoming atmosphere. It was a great way to be creative, try something new and enjoy some time away from the usual routine. I would definitely recommend this pottery class to anyone looking for a fun and unique experience!

We did a morning Clay & Sip class for a birthday, and what a great way to start the day! The staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and helped us throughout the whole session. Such a fun and interactive activity—the 2.5 hours flew by so quickly! Highly recommend for a fun and creative experience.

Simone Samali • Attended Jul 2026



I had a great time attending this pottery course over five Sundays. It was something completely different for me to do, and I really enjoyed the opportunity to learn a new skill. The 2.5-hour sessions gave us plenty of time to get hands-on and develop our techniques each week. It was fun, creative and rewarding to see how much we learned over the course. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking to try something new and enjoy a relaxed, creative experience.

Tim Gibbs • Attended Aug 2026

This was Tim's second time doing this class



Such a great class. Molly was so knowledgeable and a massive help. Definitely recommend this class

Bella Gordon • Attended Aug 2026

Suzanne Bowe • Attended Aug 2026



Very easy relaxing afternoon with the ladies who had the team of the Art Department staff confidently keeping us busy.
Enjoyed getting my vase completed even though it was on a lean but that’s hand mad pottery.

Mel Jhey • Attended Jul 2026



Loved dropping to The Art Department recently for some casual studio sessions on the wheel. The studio is well equipped and the vibe is friendly and welcoming. Sandy and Molly are WONDERFUL studio technicians - highly recommend!

Chloe Collits • Attended Aug 2026



Took my brother to give the wheel classes a go on a whim, no experience, never tried anything like this before but the experience was beyond what was expected, it was amazing! The teacher was patient, explained everything clearly and helped and encouraged every step of the way!
It was so much fun and completely worth it!
I cannot recommend enough!

Wheel Throwing Class review by Chloe Collits - Newcastle

Hannah Cribb • Attended Aug 2026



I received a Mum’s & Bubs clay class as a birthday gift and went with my 17 month old daughter. We had a really great time playing with clay and different utensils. We made four different items and even though my daughter was a little young to make anything on her own, she still had so much fun helping, getting messy and yapping to the wonderful teacher, Sandy. We definitely will be going back again and can’t wait to see our finalised pieces!!

Netti Stapleton • Attended Aug 2026



We both thoroughly enjoyed the Hand building class and look forward to seeing how they look when fired.
Thanks again. Netti

Anthea Harrington • Attended Aug 2026

Stephanie Hodson • Attended Jul 2026

Jacqueline Sterling • Attended Jul 2026

This was Jacqueline's second time doing this class



It was for my husband's birthday and we had a great morning. Our teacher, Molly was excellent with great instruction and demonstration, then guidance whilst we did our best. Molly helped with advice along the way and by the end we'd made a few items without needing so much help. It was relaxed in the class and we had plenty of time.
At the finish we were both pleased with our efforts and cant wait to see how then turn out once glazed and fired.

Isaac Hale • Attended Jul 2026



Molly was a great instructor, very knowledgeable and patient.
This was such a fun experience to do as a family. Highly recommend.


Emily Workman • Attended Jul 2026



It was my first time doing a class like this and I went alone. The atmosphere was friendly, inclusive and relaxed. Molly showed us step by step what we needed to do and fully supported/encouraged creative freedom. By the end of the class I forgot I had come alone. I had a great time and although I am a beginner I think the pieces turned out nicely. I opted to have them shipped which is a nice option to have too. Overall I loved the experience and I will be back
