Recent reviews of Hand Building Class: Playing with Porcelain

  • 5/5 from Linda Burns, attended Sep 2026: I had a great time creating a couple of porcelain pieces with Grace Ellen today. She was very helpful and easy to learn from. It was a fun morning.
  • 5/5 from Heath Barker, attended Sep 2024: Nat (the owner of Grace Ellen), was wonderful and her studio is just a great space to be in. Lots of light, shelves of porcelain pieces she has created and soft music. She provided a beautiful spread of tapas and a glass of wine to get us started. While we nibbled, she demonstrated what we would be making and then let us loose. We had a wonderful time celebrating and creating.
  • 3/5 from Jasmine McGreevy, attended Jan 2023: Beautiful space with all the right equipment. We were expecting some tapas and bubbly as that’s what was mentioned in the description but unfortunately we didn’t receive either. Enjoyable but probably not what you pay for, although the lady running the class was a delight.
  • 5/5 from Claire Dawe, attended Sep 2022: Natalie is a welcoming warm teacher who provides great instructions and a relaxing atmosphere. Had such an enjoyable Saturday morning in her sunny studio.
  • 5/5 from Felicity Marshall, attended Apr 2022: The teacher was fantastic, she was so knowledgeable and helpful- she explained everything in an easy to understand way.
