From the moment we arrived, we were met with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The studio was well-equipped, and everything was set up for us to dive straight into the creative process. The true highlight, however, was our fantastic teacher, Linda. Linda is not only incredibly knowledgeable about pottery and the coil mug technique, but she possesses a truly remarkable warmth and friendliness that made everyone feel instantly at ease. She walked us through each step with clear, patient instructions, offering helpful tips and encouragement along the way. Even for complete beginners like us, Linda's guidance made the process feel approachable and fun, rather than intimidating. She fostered a truly supportive environment where we felt comfortable experimenting and asking questions. Leaving the workshop, we all felt a wonderful sense of accomplishment and creative fulfillment. It was a perfect blend of learning a new skill, enjoying good company, and getting our hands dirty in the best possible way. Thank you, Linda, for such a memorable and inspiring workshop! We're already looking forward to our next creative adventure, perhaps even another pottery session. This coil mug workshop truly exceeded our expectations and is a fantastic way to spend an afternoon.

  • 5/5 from Elizabeth M Rigg, attended May 2024: Linda went above and beyond to make my daughter's 13th birthday party a special day. The super cute pottery cottage was well equipped, beautifully presented and had been decorated with Happy Birthday decorations. Linda had made some pottery event keepsakes, with lollies on the table and birthday themed music. There was no extra charge applied for any of this, it was all part of Linda's thoughtful hospitality. Linda was a patient, knowledgeable teacher. There were plenty of stencils and different coloured paints, allowing the kids to be creative and make very different pieces. Linda has the sweetest, gentlest greyhound, Norman. Norman was inside and only came out after Linda asked first if it was ok for him to be around. The girls (and I) adored him. Linda also took photos during the lesson for us. It was a personalised, fun experience, and great value for money. I would highly recommend for a tween or teen birthday activity. Thanks so much for a wonderful morning.
