Recent reviews of Pottery Workshop: Make Your Own Unique Mug

• 5/5 from Edward Gauw, attended Sep 2026: We brought our clients to Irina’s pottery workshop for a client entertainment activity and thoroughly enjoyed it! Irina was so patient and attentive, guiding us through each step with clear instructions while giving us plenty of time to chat, socialise and get creative. She created such a warm, relaxed atmosphere that made the whole experience feel really special. The unexpected stars of the day were her two beautiful cats, who kept us company throughout the workshop! Such a lovely addition to an already wonderful experience. Highly recommend for a client outing, team activity or a fun afternoon with friends. Thank you, Irina!
• 5/5 from Crystelle Gangi, attended Sep 2026: Our teacher was the loveliest person. Very attentive and guided us the whole way. Allowed us to express our own creative freedom, the session felt intimate. We were shown how to paint using the clay and incorporating different marbling techniques. The total time went for about 2.5 hrs which goes very quickly but the perfect amount of time. She was hospitable, and has a lot of experience and knowledge. I would definitely do another session with her. I can’t wait to pick up my mug!

• 5/5 from Camilla Leong, attended Jan 2026: Enjoyed a great morning/afternoon sculpting with Irina and my fellow sculptors. Everything was set out by the time I got to the workshop and was very organised. Upstairs and around the place where we sat were other mugs that other people have done - and they looked really good. Very accommodating as we were all offered coffee or tea. Irina was very knowledgeable in what she taught and gave out very clear step by step instructions. She comes to help whenever I’m stuck which is a lot of the time. Looking forward to pick it up!

The team loved the event & were all extremely passionate about making thier mugs. The knowledge, expertise & patience that Irina has was first class.. imagine dealing with 20 sales & marketing people. Irina helped us create a variety of patterns using various colours. The patterns / artwork were all different & unique...we are looking forward to picking up the mugs once they are glazed & fired :-) Highly recommended!

She guided us through every step of the process with patience and enthusiasm. We felt comfortable and confident the entire time, and thanks to her clear instructions, we were able to create our own unique mugs.
