- 5/5 from Meredith Brown, attended Jun 2025: We had a great afternoon giving it a go in the pottery wheel. Maddison is a fantastic teacher. She was patient and provided clear instruction. The small class size meant we all received 1:1 support. Fun way to spend time with your creative friends. And try a new medium.
- 5/5 from Louise Shaw, attended May 2025: I had so much fun. Maddison guided me through the process so that I came away knowing the steps to build a basic pot on the wheel. The care taken in teaching also gave me a feeling for working with clay that will guide future experiences. I would ighly recommend this class. Thank you so much
- 5/5 from Barbara Joy Toogood, attended Apr 2025: A great new experience for my teenage grandchildren. Maddison was a lovely teacher - patient and she provided clear instructions. Fantastic as a experience or as a start to a new hobby. The girls thoroughly enjoyed themselves
- 5/5 from Brett Whitcher, attended Apr 2025: This is my second pottery lesson with Maddi. I learned some new skills such as how to knead the clay, weigh and create different size balls ready for throwing. I made 2 different shapes on the wheel allowing me to practice my skills I learned from the previous session. Big thanks to Maddi, who is an amazing teacher.
- 5/5 from James White, attended Apr 2025: A lovely and fun session with a patient teacher who really communicated her love of pottery. With only two students, you had plenty of the teacher's attention and time. Love having a teacher in Ballarat, too - most of the other classes are quite a drive away!
- 5/5 from Jasmine Brown, attended Apr 2025: Thought it would be fun to give pottery a go and it was! Maddison was so informative and such a patient teacher. Her studio was lovely and the equipment great to work on.
- 5/5 from Cindy Shearer, attended Mar 2025: Loved this class! Maddison is an awesome teacher and very generous with tips on how to setup your own studio. Also real coffee!! So much fun can see hours of pottery time in my future :)
- 5/5 from Brett Whitcher, attended Mar 2025: Maddison is an awesome teacher, she showed lots of patience in my session. In the pottery wheel session, I learned some amazing techniques and how to control and shape the clay. I enjoyed having a go at making a few pieces and taking a photo of them. I highly recommend having a lesson with Maddison and will be back for another soon.
