Recent reviews of Kids Pottery Class for School Holidays

  • 5/5 from Andrew B Terrell, attended Oct 2026: Great lesson - kids loved it! Looking forward to picking up the finished works in a few weeks.
  • 3/5 from Ruby Brady, attended Oct 2026: The kids said it was fun to play with the clay but were disappointed they didn’t get to use the wheel, I thought they would be. It said on the booking form it was a 2 hour class with a confirmed pick up time listed but we were told to come collect earlier than the email as it was an hour and a half.
  • 5/5 from Nikki Gibson, attended Jul 2026: This was the first time my kids had done any sort of art class and they absolutely loved it. A very welcoming atmosphere from the moment we arrived. My kids can’t wait to come back. We will definitely be back next school holidays and will recommend to other parents. Thank you
