Hi
It should be ready in about 3 weeks
It has to dry then I will glaze it and fire it in the kiln
So glad she enjoyed herself

This was such a fun experience for my 8 and half year old. They were quite quick to finish the bunny so also completed a carrot and egg aswell! My daughter asked me if she could do it again soon. Linda was so lovely and welcoming and so was her gentle greyhound Norman.

The teacher, Linda, is very helpful and accommodating. The venue is well set up and suitable for private and small groups with very well stocked supplies.
The class is excellent value for money and allows you to unleash your creativity.

We booked this class for our anniversary (8 years, the traditional gift is pottery) so we thought to do something creative to celebrate. Linda was fantastic the whole way through, accommodating, welcoming and helpful. We loved the set up in her backyard and enjoyed the class, creating our plates and pots. Already looking at rebooking with friends it was that much fun.

Jenny Sullivan Mar 2024


Linda is extremely professional and patient, she decorated the room beautifully & put on a beautiful spread, My husband and I loved it!, and we had a great time creating our little masterpieces.

Occasion: Valentine’s day
Linda was amazing and great to work with, super nice
Venue was so creative and loved being able to experience it.
Materials were super easy to use.
We made terracotta wine coolers and learnt you just have to wet them to keep the wine cool. Thought it was pretty cool.
Yes, every cent was worth it. Would pay/do it again
I loved how friendly Linda was and the set up she had for our theme in Paris for Valentine’s day

Erica Miller Jan 2024


Linda was very welcoming & made you feel comfortable from the moment you walked in.
You are provided with everything you'd need and taken through step by step on how to create your mug.
Would definitely recommend going to one of Linda's classes!

Linda was a wonderful, easy-going and very helpful, patient teacher who is keen to make sure that everyone has a good time. Excellent value for money - and I now have my own hand-made mug!

Harriet McHugo Jan 2024


Had a great time. Booked for myself, partner and step daughter as a school holiday activity. Linda was wonderful, would definitely book again and recommend to friends and family.

Nathan Gardiner Dec 2023


Linda was absolutely excellent, best date we have had in 7 years and as someone who is hopeless at arts and craft I learnt a lot

Mandy Larkham Dec 2023


Linda was the most patient, friendly, knowledgeable teacher.
My son (10) & I learnt how to hand make a couple of items to make into chia pets (pottery).
It was fun, creative but very relaxing!
The studio was lovely, cosy & perfect for the two of us!
During the 2 hour class we learnt a lot.
We both agreed we will definitely be back next school holidays to make/learn how to make something new

Wendy Jones Dec 2023


Had such a fun time! It was a birthday gift from friends. The teacher was absolutely lovely. The venue was super cute. I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to pick up my finished product. Would definitely recommend it and I can’t wait to go back

Great small group class. Linda was very knowledgable & explained the steps well, with warnings about possible problems & how to correct them. She was very well organised, with all equipment laid out & ready so we got into the fun of making the ornaments quickly. Good value for money, each of us making 2 personalised large tea light ornaments, and the class ran overtime. Looking forward to picking up the finished product after it's fired!

Christy Capili Nov 2023


Fantastic! We went over time but Linda wasn't rushing us. Excellent value and easy to follow instructions. Highly recommend

Amanda Chidgey Nov 2023


We had the best morning with Linda in her studio making Christmas ornaments. We had lots of fun, enjoyed every minute. Highly recommend and would love to go back and do another class.

Jacqueline Murray Nov 2023


Linda was very friendly and helpful. She was full of tips and we really enjoyed the Christmas class.

Claire Rhodes Nov 2023


Linda was great at teaching us what to do and super friendly. We had lots of fun with Christmas carols playing in the background. We created some beautiful handmade creations. I highly recommend doing a class with a Linda. We will be back!

Alison Dunning Nov 2023


Great Class had a fun time creating my own plate and vase. Very informative Linda is super helpful making it an enjoyable afternoon.

Nicole Smith Nov 2023


The pot and plate class was really fun. It was a great couple experience. Linda was very friendly and helpful.

Lani Fercher Nov 2023


Loved the class. This is my second time. Linda is a fun teacher. Played Christmas carols, gave a hand made bon bon with a ceramic surprise inside and we made Christmas ornaments. Great instruction and a relaxed class. Highly recommend.

Steve Dean Oct 2023


What a fun day Linda was inviting, warm and so knowledgeable on all things pottery. My 15 year old son had the best time and we are looking forward to coming back in the very near future (when she’s not booked out! Lol). If you’re looking for something to do as a family, a date night or even if you’re flying solo, Chateau De Poterie is a must. Support local businesses!

Halloween Class with Linda was amazing Linda greeted us and took us to her studio where all equipment was supplied. Linda’s technique in teaching was the best with step by step shown instructions. We created a tea light Mummie Lantern, Witches Hat and a Pumpkin. Can’t wait to see the final product after they have been fired. The extra bonus was lollies, bottled water and a singalong with Halloween music

Kristie Findlater Oct 2023


Loved our class with Linda, such good fun and it was great value for money!
No tips for improvement because it went so well

Caitlin Olivier Oct 2023


Linda was so welcoming and explained things perfectly. I’d highly recommend her classes whether you are a beginner or have done classes before. My husband and I did the class as a date night & I think it will be a regular thing as we both had the best time. Bonus greyhound cuddles at the beginning and end.
