  • 5/5 from Rose McCue, attended Jun 2026: I went to a Pot and Plate Slab private class with 4 friends. We had a fantastic time with Linda, it was so much fun, and we all made such different plates and pots. Linda was a wonderful teacher, and the class was very organised. We went way over time but never once felt rushed to finish. We were given lovely hot drinks and biscuits too by her delightful hubby Greg, and their dog Norman also gave us cuddles. I highly recommend Linda's pottery groups! We will be back soon to make some beautiful mugs, can't wait :)
