Five Week Throwing Course

Very friendly, inclusive, bright atmosphere, lots of advice on how to use a potters wheel. Can't wait to get back and move onto the next step.

Such a fantastic and fun class - I want to do it again already! Absolutely beautiful space, great instructors, and a lovely course overall. Highly recommend!

I just did the 5 week throwing course after doing a couple of individual sessions and Tess runs a well thought out and incredibly easy program to follow, a real pleasure to attend!

I really enjoyed the course. The teachers are fab; so patient, kind and with so much expertise. I loved that their training is fine art too so you are learning from that perspective. The studio is also just such a lovely space to spend time in. I’ll definitely do another course again this year. Thank you!

A wonderfully insightful course about the fundamentals of pottery. I was very bad, but the teachers were incredibly helpful and patient! The class catered to a variety of skill levels, so I'd definitely go back again to hone my techniques. And the studio was absolutely beautiful.

I had done a ceramics course before and then did a throwing taster in Sak beh, I learnt so much in that session that I decided to sign up for the 5week course. Tessa and Kwok are great teachers, all the materials used are of great quality, and the space is calm and clean. I really recommend the 5week course as I feel so much more confident in my skills now and would come back for another course just for how enjoyable the classes are. Thank you Tessa and Kwok!

Thoroughly enjoyed the course.

Great teaching, very engaging and helpful!

Really really enjoying my 5week course. Love that the class isn’t to big and you really get to learn the step by step of pottery. Highly recommend x

Really loving the course so far. Amazing teachers x 2 in a class 5! Coming back to ceramics after a long time away its was an absolutely inspiring and beautiful session. Thank you.

The whole experience is very nice. Clear instructions and helpful teachers... definitely go try it!

It's only been one week so far, but the teachers are very nice (and patient with us beginners), the studio is lovely and I am looking forwards to progressing through the course!

Very friendly people, fun and informative at the same time.

An excellent course, well taught and thorough, covering all aspects of throwing, finishing and glazing pots. There is a lot to cram into 5 weeks so you have to work quite quickly and not worry about making everything perfect. Initially you throw 5 to 6 pots which you then work on for the rest of the course. It really makes you appreciate the skills of the potters. Studio is very clean. Aprons are provided as is tea and coffee and biscuits (if you have time!)

This was my second time taking the 5 week course and it was just as good as the first time, it's a really calming way of spending your Sundays :) Tessa & Gok are great teachers and you really feel supported throughout the whole process. Hoping to collect my pieces in a couple weeks and handing them out at Christmas :) I'll definitely be back next year! I highly recommend joining a class.

Great experience, the studio is beautiful, we had access to two teachers for six students. Attention to details and crafting. I would definitely recommend it

Such a great course! Small class sizes with two teachers means you get great guidance throughout. The studio is such a beautiful and calm space to spend a few hours each weekend. Had an amazing time.

Had a lovely time on the throwing course, learning the making process from start to finish. Small numbers meant lots of individual attention and advice. Looking forward to collecting the fired items soon!

Really great first class at Sak Beh. The space is lovely and peaceful and it’s a small group - so you get plenty of one on one. The time flew by and I can’t wait to get back next week. I really recommend if you’re new to throwing. I hadn’t done it for about twenty years so was very rusty but you get straight in to having a go yourself, with some gentle guidance. Such a relaxing Sunday afternoon

Great course

Good clear advice and a relaxed atmosphere when starting out to throw pots. In a light room with tea and coffee.😊

The course was unbelievably great fun! Tessa was a fantastic teacher and the class was in a small enough group (7 of us) so you were always able to seek help when you needed it. Tessa and her colleague are there to help make sure you progress as much as possible, while the class is 2 hours long there certainly isn't any clock watching for you to leave. I managed to make 5 pieces and in turn have a much shorter xmas present list :) I couldn't recommend the course enough and it was a brilliant way to spend a couple of hours on Sunday, super relaxing. I'm VERY tempted to do it again!

I'm really enjoying my classes. Tessa's studio is so beautiful & spotlessly clean. She's really friendly and makes sure to spend 1:1 time with everyone in class to help develop their skills and the forms we make.

Great course. The teacher is great and the space is beautiful.

Great to be back in the studio!

Just did one course so far but I can’t wait to go back

I have only had my first session, but it was fantastic! Great teacher and lots of time to practice :)

The course was well planned and organised. We were able to move onto the throwing very quickly and enjoy success early on. Highly recommended.

The course was my second throwing experience, but the first one so in depth. Tessa is a good and patient teacher. She balances 1-2-1 time and group explanations very well. I really enjoyed it and I can't wait to pick up my creations!

Great to get to see and experience every stage of the process! Tessa is great.

Excellent work environment. Clear and focused teaching technique across the five weeks. Outstanding support from the teacher and the technician. First class modelling of work practice. Great atmosphere.

The studio is the cleanest I've seen; small class size; a lot of creative freedom; and thoughtful instruction. It was a very personable experience. I highly recommend this course to get the foundations of the full process.

This is my second class I’ve booked with Sak Beh pottery studio ... 5 week throwing course is amazing experience , You learn so much , truly enjoyed every minute of it 🙏🏻 Tessa is a great teacher and I’m already looking forward doing some more .
