We thoroughly enjoyed the class. The teacher was marvellous, she explained and demonstrated the whole process step by step, and rescued us a couple of times. We each made 3 pieces and decided to keep 2 piece each. Looking forward to picking up our creations in 4 weeks.

Good experience, would have been better if the teacher had broken down the instructions and let us follow along step by step. As by the time they had demonstrated the whole process and it was our turn, a lot of people had already forgotten the first few steps.

Sophie was awesome. She explained everything beautifully and was kind.
I would easily return for more fun. The 2 hours felt like 10 minutes.
Well worth the money.

We had such a lovely afternoon. There were 11 of us, all beginners. Hats off to the incredibly patient teachers that were so kind to us all. I cannot wait to collect our, far from perfect, creations. Many of us said that we barely caught up with one and another because we were so focused and dedicated to the wheel and each step! A lovely hands-on activity we will all look fondly back on! Thanks so much!

I recently had the pleasure of taking a wheel throwing class, and I can't say enough about the fantastic experience I had. From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home.
The instructor was not only knowledgeable but also patient and encouraging, which was a huge relief as a beginner. They guided us through the intricate process of wheel throwing with ease, and their passion for the art was truly inspiring.
The class itself was so much fun, and I learned more than I ever expected. The hands-on experience was both relaxing and invigorating. I left the class with a newfound appreciation for pottery and a beautiful piece I had created myself.
I can't recommend this wheel throwing class enough. If you're looking for a creative and enjoyable experience with a warm and friendly atmosphere, this is the place to be. I'll definitely be back for more classes in the future!

Loved the class, it was perfectly structured m as an intro to wheel throwing! 2 hours flew by. I highly recommend if you just want to give it a go and do something a little different as a social activity with friends. I made a coffee cup and am so excited to pick it up in 4 weeks time.

Rather than giving us endless clay to make mistakes, I think I would have preferred actual technique correction so that we left knowing we had created something we liked. We kept making the same mistakes over and over again with little direction on how to improve. It was still fun and would like to try it again
Teacher's

Thanks so much for your honest feedback and so sorry that you left feeling so frustrated.! Wheel throwing is a really technical task. Based on your comments our team have discussed how we can help our students feel a better sense of achievement so we are really grateful you took the time to let us know. I hope we see you at Mayfield Street again.

Eli was absolutely lovely, she was patient and kind. Explained herself very well and helped out heaps. This experience was perfect for a couple or friends, we had a ball!
Class was very welcoming and fun. We were given lots of help when we needed it and actually shown how to fix our pieces rather than the teacher just doing it for us. Great experience definitely keen to do it again.

SO MUCH FUN!
the folk that run the studio are so knowledgeable and so willing to help, regardless of your ideas and your level of experience. this is just one of the pieces i made on the wheel, kind of a mini chalice in the 'oilspot' glaze'.
a really good idea for a date or as a group!

I love the vibe of this studio, it is super cute and you are given everything you could need to make some great products. The fact you get to glaze your own product with cute colours was so cool!
A real 10/10 experience - would definitely recommend!

It's not as easy as you think Our instructor was lovely! She explained all the steps required (and there are many) and let us get on with it to make mistakes so we could learn on the next try. Doesn't matter if you mess up your piece, juest get another lump of clay and start again with "Dry Hands Dy Clay".
She managed to save a couple of my near disaster attempts and I turned out 2 nice bowls which I'm looking forward to using them once it has been painted and dried. There were 8 of us altogher so it was an intimate and fun experience and lots of help. I'd definately recommend to give this a go, it's funfrustratingand rewarding. You won't get 3 feeelings like that in any other class
Parking wasn't as bad on the Sunday at 3pm so there wasn't an issue but you will find lots of off street parking in and around the residential area.

Amazing experience! Fun atmosphere, super fun teacher & inspiring place. I’m already wanting to go back!

We, Deaf community learned to make pottery, which seemed looking easy but hands required effort and patience skill to acquire.

I recently attended a clay throwing class, and it was an outstanding experience. Right from the start, the instructor greeted us with warmth, ensuring everyone felt welcomed. The complimentary coffee was a lovely touch, making the atmosphere even cozier.
The hands-on guidance we received was invaluable. My friend and I, being beginners, appreciated the patience and expertise of our instructor. By the end of the session, we had crafted some delightful coffee mugs and bowls.
Highly recommend this class for anyone looking to try their hand at pottery. It's not just about the craft; it's also about the people and the memories you create.

Elly/Ellie was a great teacher. She was patient and also knew when to speed things up for us so that we could spend more time throwing the wheel. Generous with the time and materials and great value for money. 2 hours was more than enough to go through the content and allow us to practice. The location wasn’t difficult to access either. Overall a great and fun way to spend time with friends or with a special someone. Would be good to advise that our clothes may or may not be splattered with clay but that’s all right.
Charlie Charlton•

Beautiful studio and everyone was welcoming and warm. Great teachers who gave an informative demonstration on technique. Afterwards, we had a lot of time to create multiple pieces. It’s the perfect class for beginners and if you’re curious about picking up wheel throwing as a hobby.

It was a good beginners class. It would have been better to have instructions as we go along rather than instructions for the whole experience at the very start so people could understand the overall flow of the exercise and know when to do what. As the studio also shared space with other activities, at times it was a little bit noisy especially when instructions were given out. Overall it was fun to try this out.

Great class! Wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon! The class group size was only 10 students which was good because it meant our teacher (Audrey) could give everyone enough 1:1 attention and assistance. The instructions at the start of the class were super thorough and helpful. Plenty of time left for having a good go on the wheel too. We really enjoyed ourselves and are very much looking to picking up our finished pieces in the coming weeks…. There were so many lovely coloured glazes to pick from at the end of class as well! Thanks Audrey! :)

Fabulous class! We had so much fun and really enjoyed the thoughtful touches (tea, little cakes to celebrate birthday). What was great also was we got to pick our glaze which I know a lot of other studios don’t let you do. Our teacher Ellie was awesome and very knowledgeable. 10/10 experience! :)

It was my first time doing pottery, and I was a little nervous because I was alone. However, the teacher was very kind and friendly and I had a very good time. I want to participate again.
The clay throwing class was amazing. Our teacher Sophie was great, she was friendly, engaging and funny. The place was easy enough to find. We were successful in making a couple of bowls which was satisfying given we had no prior experience

The class was fun but there wasn’t enough support to ask questions. It’s a pretty hands on activity and one teacher among a big group is not enough.
Teacher's

Hi Aditya,
My name is Sally. I own and run Mayfield Street Studios.
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback for our class. I’m so sorry that you didn’t receive our usual five-star experience while you were here. We have been pretty proud of our five-star average until now so it's really worrying that you didn’t receive the instruction that you expected. Would you like to return and do the class again with a different teacher at no charge? We have some great teachers at Mayfield Street who love teaching our students really well and coming a second time could really enhance your throwing skills. Or you could return to take part in one of our ceramic painting sessions instead. A lot of people really enjoy the painting sessions because they are so relaxing with friends, you paint a piece of stoneware pre-thrown by our Mayfield Makers, and you can BYO everything!
Just let us know which you would prefer and we will send you a booking link to reserve a space.
I hope we can meet you at Mayfield Street again.
All the best.
Sally

Sophie and Emma were excellent teachers, we had such a fun morning throwing clay for the first time. The venue was well set up and you had the option to make as many pots/cups/etc. as you could within the two hours, only having to pay $10 per extra item (the first one is included in the price). You also got to choose the colour that your clay was glazed with, which was an added bonus. We will definitely be back soon, can't fault the experience at all

The teacher was very informative about the process and kept it simple enough for beginners to understand. He was helpful throughout the whole class. Great location in a cosy studio with good facilities and a coffee shop nearby which was perfect.
Teacher was great! Session was great! Would highly recommend, easy to follow instructions and just an overall great session.

Really gifted as a teacher and I learn very quickly with Audrey’s teaching methods. It was perfect for me and fun as well as interesting. The equipment was all great to my knowledge and experience and we had plenty of materials to play with. Well prepared class and we will be back! We created a reel on Instagram already. That’s how much we enjoyed. Really grateful! Thank you!

The class was amazing! Was an anniversary present for my partner and I, and we had a great time. Audrey was a fantastic teacher and made all of us noobs feel confident with our "art pieces". Loved the experience.
First time clay wheel throwing and it was really a fun learning experience with a supportive and humorous teacher! Lots of laughs and some pieces to pick up in a few weeks

Spent a great 2 hours learning how to throw on the pottery wheel.
We had a class of 11 learners & we all made a pot or vase in that time. We’ll return to collect our pieces once they’ve been glazed & fired for us.
Audrey was a clear, patient teacher.
Thanks!

Terrific pottery wheel throwing class this Saturday morning.
Lovely friendly instructor who took the time to make everyone feel welcome and provide individualised advice, encouragement and coaching as we worked.
The venue is a well designed airy space with heater (it was mid winter), water, coat storage etc and excellent clean quiet and modern pottery wheels.
The experience was great value for money as we discovered it includes firing and glazing of the pots, bowls and mugs we created.
Truly a lovely introduction to pottery in a great space and with generous instruction - looking forward to going back for more sessions on the wheel :)

The teacher was funny , helpful and very knowledgeable. The venue itself was well organised and not too hard to find . The class had enough material that were good quality . I would say it was great value for money as we get to take the final pieces home. I learnt the different techniques to make a pottery piece and that you need to be patient and slow down . I enjoyed the process of failing and trying again until I got a decent enough piece . Also huge shoutout to Emma and Audrey for helping me rebook after missing some of the class . It just goes to show how much they value the people who book and try to accomodate them.

It was an amazing class. We booked the 10am session and it was small and intimate. I highly recommend because I was able to ask for help and received attention when my pot went sideways. We are planning to go back and do the clay painting!

It was great although I would have not mind a one on one so I could have learnt how to manage the wheel and clay. Most of the time I was trying to work it out. It really wasn’t worth the value.
The teachers were great and welcoming.

The class flew by and we learned the basics of using a pottery wheel. The instructor started with a demo and then walked around to assist those in need. Great for beginners to get a taste of pottery. It would have been great to have another 15 mins to practice. Most people completed 1-2 pieces which they fire and glaze for you with pick up 4 weeks after the workshop. Make sure you wear clothes and shoes you don't mind getting dirty and bring a hair tie.

I organised a pottery class for my corporate team of 13 people, and it was an amazing experience. The studio went out of their way to accommodate us, giving us the opportunity to try both wheel throwing and hand painting activities. The studio provided a spacious and inviting atmosphere, and the instructors were friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to assist. In addition, they graciously allowed us to order pizza and drinks to the studio, even staying late so we could enjoy our dinner without feeling rushed. This level of flexibility and customer service exceeded our expectations, creating a relaxed and enjoyable environment for team bonding.
I highly recommend this pottery class for team-building activities. The studio, the friendly instructors, and their willingness to accommodate our group made it an exceptional experience.
The class was really well run and well planned. The teacher was very knowledgeable and helpful. Afterwards they glaze your pieces in the colour of your choice and you can pick them up in a few weeks. A lovely family-run business.

My partner and I had a great time. I felt like we were given enough instruction from our wonderful teacher Sophie, and help if required.

It was a great session. My partner and I had so much fun. Met friendly people. Staffs week friendly and helpful. Teacher was great. She guided and helped whenever needed
I just felt the 2 hours was very rushed because the tracking takes a while and we need to get used to the wheel and have movement. Then cleaning. Towards the end it became very rushing for many of us.
