Wow! What can I say? Thank you Sarah!!! What an amazing 8 weeks. Sarah was an amazing teaching and just a great person in general. I came into the open wheel course having only done one class elsewhere before and was immediately and ease even though there were alot of other students who had much more experience than me. The relaxed vibe of the room was great and Sarah, as well as the other students were so helpful and patient with me. I asked so many questions which we always answered with a warm smile. I have such a HUGE body of work after the 8 weeks and have learnt so much. This has well and truly sparked a love for pottery which I never knew I had before. I recommend anyone thinking about it to give it a go or even just sign up to a single class if 8 weeks is too much to begin with. Thank you again Sarah!!!

Sarah is a brilliant teacher who welcomes students of all skill levels to join her passion of ceramics. Her generosity of spirit and encouragement allow students to shine. We are so pleased with our creations this term, we have caught the pottery bug and will definitely be back for more classes in 2019!
