Recent reviews of Hands-On Holds: Climber's Clay Workshop
- 5/5 from Fung Chan, attended Aug 2026: Me and a group of climber friends with ADHD decided to spontaneously join this class and it was such a good decision. We were able to concentrate for the entire 2.5 hour course with a very friendly, chatty, helpful and skilled instructor. I would definitely recommend this to everyone, climber or not.

- 5/5 from Jonathon Gaczol, attended Apr 2026: Shane is a great teacher - going from 0 pottery experience to a climbing mug in 2.5 hours was a breeze and a lot of fun. Highly recommend for both climbers and anyone interested in pottery :)
- 5/5 from John Messias, attended Dec 2025: I had an event ran for 37 of my staff members just yesterday. Air and jane were great, everyone loved it and had a great time! Such a great thing that people can share as a moment together! It is also challenging enough that keeps everyone switched on! Would highly recommend as a solo, due or even for a big group activity!
- 5/5 from Bryce Fenwick, attended Dec 2025: So glad I signed up for this class… would have made for a great date night, but even on my own it was a super welcoming environment! Great atmosphere making bouldering mugs inside a gym, definitely worth the money!
- 5/5 from Xin Zheng, attended Dec 2025: Shane was an amazing teacher. My partner and I had a great evening learning about all the different pottery techniques
- 5/5 from Kaitlin Wong, attended Dec 2025: Shane was a great teacher, made everything easy to understand for people who don’t have any pottery experience. Super enjoyable!

- 5/5 from Olivia Aitkens, attended Sep 2025: My partner and I loved learning new ceramic techniques, and generally having a fun time with our knowledgeable instructor Shane. I would highly recommend this workshop for those who love climbing and ceramics (even if you don’t enjoy climbing, the mugs are gorgeous keepsakes). 10/10!
- 5/5 from Shirley Cheung, attended Sep 2025: Really fun experience! Combining something we love (climbing) in a different way. Good laughter, good vibes and just a bit of pressure (to make a good mug). Highly recommend

- 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: Loved it, wish there were more shapes of mug to choose from
- 5/5 from Michele Posthumus Meyjes, attended Oct 2024: This class was a great way to meet up with some friends and spend some time not actually climbing the walls, but creating them from clay! The instructor was fun and engaging, the duration of the class was perfect, and the activity was fun and therapeutic. We were provided with the mugs and the clay to create our own bespoke climbing holds, and given plenty of instruction and examples to get creative. We were given the tools and methods to create various holds and shapes and taught how to secure them to the mug. Finally we were provided with the material to paint our holds (and the mug, if we chose) and informed of the process to finalise the mugs and make them food and dishwasher ready.
- 5/5 from Deanna Thorne, attended Oct 2024: absolutely loved this class!! we are regular climbers at nomad so were so excited about the idea of making our own bouldering mug. Shane made the experience so fun, and took care to make sure everyone’s holds were on securely so that we’d end up with the mug of our dreams. 100000x recommend booking a class at market studio!
- 5/5 from Ann-Katrin Goetze, attended Oct 2024: I had such a good time and the teacher was great! Perfect location as well to do this inside the gym and have holds for reference around to look at. Everyone's mugs turned out looking so cool! Such a fun way to get creative
- 5/5 from Kieran Ponnusamy, attended Oct 2024: Real nice! Good bloke! A little hurried but we were late =b real real nice
- 5/5 from Eva Li, attended Sep 2024: Had a fun time making bouldering mugs with Shane. It was fun to be in Nomad surrounded by the climbing holds for inspiration
