This class includes three final items, which are fired and ready for you to pick up around 3-4 weeks later. Yes, it’s functional - you can pop it in the microwave/dishwasher.
This class is BYO. Bring your wine, beer, juice box, snacks, whatever you're into. We keep a small supply of cups in the studio, first in best dressed, so bring your own if you're particular.

Recent reviews of Make a Breaky Set Pottery Class

  • 5/5 from Amanda Hannigan, attended Oct 2026: What a great beginners class & teacher! A fun morning getting creative with a friend. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere & no pressure to create a master piece. Our group was lovely & the conversation easy. I loved that I could finally create my own mug to take home just for me! The small things
  • 4/5 from Cheryl Mason, attended Oct 2026: Piper explained everything we were about to do in the first 15 minutes of the class which was hard to take in. It would have been better if she had given us step by step instructions.
  • 5/5 from Manvir Kaur, attended Sep 2026: I had such a lovely experience at the pottery class! The teacher was friendly, patient and very encouraging, making the class enjoyable even for a beginner. We got to learn the basics of working with clay and create our own pieces, which was such a fun and relaxing experience. What I liked most was the hands-on experience and the welcoming atmosphere. It was a great way to be creative, try something new and enjoy some time away from the usual routine. I would definitely recommend this pottery class to anyone looking for a fun and unique experience!
  • 5/5 from Vaishnavi Krishna Priya Uppala, attended Aug 2026: I loved the experience, i loved how they taught it felt great and wholesome. Overall a great place
  • 5/5 from Emily Workman, attended Jul 2026: It was my first time doing a class like this and I went alone. The atmosphere was friendly, inclusive and relaxed. Molly showed us step by step what we needed to do and fully supported/encouraged creative freedom. By the end of the class I forgot I had come alone. I had a great time and although I am a beginner I think the pieces turned out nicely. I opted to have them shipped which is a nice option to have too. Overall I loved the experience and I will be back
  • 5/5 from Stephanie Hodson, attended Jul 2026: My daughter and I had a beautiful afternoon together creating with clay. Sandy was our guide and she was fabulous. We will be back!

  • 5/5 from Bec Wilton, attended Oct 2024: I really enjoyed this class. It was a small group of 4, with a really lovely teacher. Great materials and tools to use. We were able to choose what we made and be as creative as we like. I did find it a bit of a rush to make 3 items in the 2.5 hrs, and then had to rush the painting at the end. More time would’ve been nice, or perhaps only 2 items. I also would’ve liked a bigger colour range for the underglazes. Overall I highly recommend
  • 5/5 from Judy Li, attended Oct 2024: Fun, approachable class with lots of room for creativity and play with the clay. Lesley was absolutely wonderful, so supportive and engaging!
