• 5/5 from Rita Corbett, attended Jul 2025: I purchased this as a gift for my mum and I at Christmas. I had never done clay hand building and the teacher Carol was so helpful and explained all the different techniques to help me build what I wanted. I made a jewellery dish, an incense holder and two chopstick rests whilst my mum made a honey pot. This is the perfect experience to try something new and come away with something you’ve built yourself, 10/10!
