Japanese Pottery Taster Class in Hackney Wick

Had such a fun time taking Yasuko's class - looking forward to picking our cups and bowls in a few weeks

Loads of fun and so interactive! Yasuko was great!!!

Great class, really good and helpful teacher, plenty of hands-on time, very friendly atmosphere and I did much better than I thought I would. I'd thoroughly recommend it!

Yasuko was an amazing woman with such a thoughtful way of teaching. The class was absolutely lovely and I’d definitely recommend anyone to go for a session. I was a complete beginner and felt very confident by the end of the class.

We had a great time, learnt some new techniques. Taught by an amazing teacher. Will definitely go back again for more.

Can't recommend this class enough! Yasuko is such a wonderful teacher and the class is really enjoyable :-) Can't wait to come back!

Yasuko is charming and generous as a teacher and an all round delight to be around. I found the class so informative and rewarding and especially liked that there was an opportunity to make two items within the class, which I very much look forward to receiving. The studio space is really welcoming and the class size was nice - enough people to make new friends but not so many people that you don't feel you get enough assistance or advise - which Yasuko is great at giving. As a teacher, Yasuko is very patient and her skills are very evident in the wonderful work she has displayed in the studio. I loved the taster class so much I decided to sign up to her 8 week course and really look forward to learning more from her.

Lovely class! The teacher Yasuko was great - really friendly and helpful. I will do another class if I can.

Amazing studio in hackney, that day the sun was shining through the entire room. We couldn’t ask for a better teacher, Yasuko is passionate about what she does, she’s patient, funny and a great teacher. I definitely would recommend this class!

A great first Pottery lesson! Thanks Yasuko. Guidance was effective and supportive and it was great to meet some interesting people. We made a cup and then a bowl. I need some practise but had fun.

Yasuko’s class was a really lovely experience, perfect taster course as we had to opportunity to make two pieces, which was more than expected! Would highly recommend. Thanks!

Yasuko was welcoming, very friendly, and helpful. The class was made up of 6 people, she took time with each of us to see how we were getting on. It was a relaxed and fun class, everyone was so nice and got on well with each other. We did start a little late but she didn’t rush us at all. She also offered tea and biscuits.😊 We took many photos at the end of the class. Time went by so quick! Would go again, and definitely recommend!

Yasuko was really helpful and supportive. We learnt how to make cups and bowls. We will definitely go again!

Yasuko is very knowleadgable in pottery and it is clear she really enjoys it. Her instructions are clear and hands on. She is very patient with the students. I will most probably sign up for more classes with her!

Yasuko has kindly waited everyone to attend the class before she started. she explained throughly and helped every steps during sessions and motivated everyone to deliver the product how they wanted. I still don't know the outcome of the products as it takes a month to complete but I was happy with the session.

Absolutely wonderful and relaxing class. Yasuko Arakawa was the most caring, nurturing and calming instructor just what the class needed as we were all beginners. We created gorgeous Japanese pinch pots and cups. We will definitely be signing up to more classes with Yasuko and is very good value for money. Thank you again Yasuko :)

Yasuko's class was amazing!! Booked it for a surprise birthday party present and it turned out to be a great afternoon. She's a lovely teacher, and excited to go to more of her classes!

The class was wonderful! Yasuko is very kind a patient teacher. She was able to show us different pottery techniques, helped along the way and in the end we were able to create real bowls and cups. Totally recommend this class!
