  • 5/5 from Anthea Cooper, attended Sep 2026: Was a fun activity to do with my 10 year old daughter. Charlie was really helpful & gave great instructions. We were given a lesson at the start & our own wheel, with the opportunity to practice & make as many items as we could in the time frame. We got to keep two items each & will return to collect once ready. Cones Studio is a nice space & I highly recommend a visit.
