Recent reviews of Six Week Pottery Wheel Throwing Course

  • 5/5 from Eleanor Pritchard, attended Jun 2025: Maddison was a great teacher, and ran a fantastic structured 5 week course. She built us from concept, through wheel technique, to finishing, and glazing/surface design. I felt like I learnt more in the 5 weeks than I had in a 10 week course done elsewhere. Managed to make 4 fully realised pieces. I also built confidence so I could start to play with clay at home, and Maddison was happy to share her knowledge on getting started with that too. Highly recommend.
