Steve Preston - 16 April 2024
A really good 3 hour session again last night and I feel I improved on week 1 , which to be honest , I could hardly fail to do.
My only complaint is that the session should have a 10 minute break half way.
Annamaria Atkins - 12 February 2024
It’s my second series of beginners workshops and just love the relaxed vibe. our instructor Zoe is very patient and helpful and helps us put our imagination into real actual pieces of pottery.
Diana - 19 December 2023

Really great classes where you can try a variety of techniques. Staff are really helpful in assisting you with whatever you want to make, and teaching you the different elements you need to get there.
Sam - 11 April 2019
I've attended this course for a year and a half. I'm really enjoying it. So much to learn and great support on hand to help when you need.
The ratio of teachers to learners is good. Usually around 3 for 16 students. Everyone works independently and makes what they want. There are potters wheels, plaster mould and all sort of glazes and under glazes to try.
Izabella - 11 April 2019
Lovely class and lovely staff - will be coming again!
Elluria - 9 April 2019
I did Mosaics with Joss and received so much personal attention and professional guidance. Plus all important encouragement when I was waning as I had chosen to do a really big project even though I am a novice. I will be joining again to get on with what I have started. It is a relaxed atmosphere and the highlight of my week!
Sally - 7 April 2019
I have been able to throw on the wheel, and am thoroughly enjoying it. It is so relaxing and takes your mind off everything else.
Loving it!!
Gintautas - 31 March 2019
Amazing experiences, the class was great,the teachers was friendly.
Rosalind - 28 March 2019
I really enjoyed my 7 weeks at 305. I had some previous experience but was keen to try the wheel. I managed to make a few things with expert guidance from Mike. The other staff are knowledgable, friendly and helpful and ready to answer questions and help you improve your work. I'd recommend this course if you want to improve and are self motivated in what you are making.
Sam - 22 March 2019
I've booked this course on and off for about a year and half. The class is a nice nix of new and regular attenders. The teaching staff have remained constant over this time and are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. In terms of ceramics I've used the wheel, I've made a number of cups, plates and bowls using a wide range of ready made plaster moulds and I've created stuff from scratch. Lots of support and advice on hand throughout the workshop.
Sally - 20 March 2019
Absolutely loving throwing on the wheel, it’s so satisfying to do whether or not successful!
But so good to produce a little dish.
Karen - 20 March 2019
Busy, friendly workshop with advice and instructruction readily at hand, as and when required, from great staff.
Sam - 11 March 2019
I've made a number of lovely things on this course using a potters wheel, moulds and constructing. I've struggled a bit with the glazing, but the staff are always on hand to help so I need to make more of this when I'm glazing in future. I've recently attending with my 10 year old daughter and she loves the course. she's always made some rather lovely things too. The guys there support her really well and are particularly motivational.
Sally Gomes - 26 February 2019
Loved learning to use the potters wheel, lifelong ambition. I just want to do it again. Great tutors and facilities, just add your imagination and you’re good to go.
Laura - 25 February 2019
Very helpful staff, I would definitely recommend!

Excellent facilities and very good tutors. Friendly atmosphere. Also if the class supports people with learning difficulties or physical difficulties, it's even better as the photographs and evidence of work by them is brilliant.
Sally - 16 March 2018
I have now completed 3 terms at the Pottery & Mosaic class, and I’m hooked!
The tutors are so adorable, helpful but not overpowering. It is such a creative environment with people of all abilities.
As soon as you arrive you clear your head and get your hands dirty.
I absolutely love it!

I love this place. It is the best post work wind down. Great people to give you as much (or little) advise, help or encouragement as you want. Good vibe and enough equipment to keep learning new things. Give it a try.

My first time here and very much enjoying the course. The staffing level is great. Always someone on hand to help with queries and s. The staff are very hands on and incredibly approachable. I take my 8 year old child with me and she can be a handful, but the staff are fabulous with her.
