I organised a mother daughter day with my friend Carmen who brought her daughter as well. We had a wonderful teapot making private class with Marion our teacher.
It was a nice day and she had set up the class outside in the garden. The class ran at a good pace and we developed some pottery skills and was able to spend quality time with our daughters. The teapots we made turned out to be unique and interesting which makes great souvenir as a reminder of the fun day it was. It was a lovely afternoon ~ Suzanne

11/10. Marion was lovely. She even waited to start after we rang to say we’d be late. She keeps her class sizes small (~4-5, ours was 3) which is great; you get to know everyone and can actually have a chat. She let us pick any design, and eloped is through it even if they were outlandish. She also doesn’t rush you which is nice. It was very relaxing. Marion first showed us what to do, then let us do the rest of it ourselves, step by step. About 2.5 hours of fun, education, and relaxation - totally worth it. You even get a teapot out of it!11/10.
