Recent reviews of Feminist Pottery Workshop

  • 5/5 from Caitlin R Guerin, attended Aug 2025: I attended the Feminist Pottery workshop, and it was fantastic! I went alone, so I was a little anxious about feeling out of place, but the instructors were so lovely and welcoming. They were extremely helpful when I had questions, and even though my original piece went awry, I was able to incorporate their ideas and create something great!
  • 5/5 from Lauren Ingram, attended Aug 2025: What a wonderful class! After not doing pottery except for a disastrous attempt in year 8 art, this was so fun. While I am definitely not a natural at pottery, the amount of support I got from Amy and Meg was incredible, helping me fix things when I didn’t get them quite right or accidentally messed up, so I actually managed to make things I was very proud of! Such a supportive environment, and most importantly I had so fun getting to know clay and learning new techniques. I even took home a kit to practice more and see what else I can make.
  • 5/5 from Stella Pearce, attended Aug 2025: I had an amazing time at this workshop! Having never done any form of pottery before, I was able to make several simple pieces that I look forward to using and displaying around my home. The instructors were helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and had everyone at ease and enjoying themselves from the moment we arrived. Would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting to give pottery a try, or even as a fun activity for a date or catchup with friends.
  • 5/5 from Michelle McCann, attended Aug 2025: Amy and Meg were FANTASTIC! We had an excellent time, lots of laughs, a heap of fun and made some beautiful pieces. Amy broke concepts down into really accessible and achievable goals, teaching me to make beautiful art I didn’t know I was capable of making.
  • 5/5 from Katherine Smith, attended Mar 2025: This was a fantastic workshop! As a total beginner, I was very nervous but Meg and Amy were so kind and patient! I definitely didn't do too well to start but they guided me through the learning curve and I produced two awesome dishes!!! It was really fun and chill, everyone was very keen and enthusiastic. It was great to do a workshop where I finished two complete items, complete with colour, and will be able to pick them up in a few weeks fully glazed!
  • 5/5 from Alicia Ardern, attended Mar 2025: I really enjoyed this class both facilitators were lovely, it was fun and I learnt lots.
