Ronaldo has given me the Throw down bug! He is an excellent teacher - by the end of the lesson I had already made vast improvements and cannot wait to get back on the wheel. The studio is a great space too, really recommend it.

I don't even know where to begin, this class was amazing! Wasn't sure what to expect but Ronaldo was extremely professional, a great teacher and leader. His patients, encouragement and skill are next to none, answering of all my questions, explaining the processes and science behind ceramics was super interesting and informative. For anyone doing this because they have a genuine interest in getting into ceramics, just for fun or a hobby, I would definitely recommend working with Ronaldo, this was so much fun and a real therapeutic experience. I will be back for sure  Thanking you sooo much!!!

I booked the session for me and my mother for her birthday, and we enjoyed every moment of it it. Ronaldo made the class fun and educational, he made sure we had of time to explore the clay ourselves, but he was always at arms length when we needed help. Thank you so much for being an amazing teacher.

Ronaldo is a very professional teacher. I could tell he is very passionate about pottery and this is transmitted through his style of teaching. I will definitely recommend this his classes.

What an experience! Ronaldo is a super patient and supportive teacher. He guided us through pottery by hand and then how to spin on the wheel & he was a walking Wikipedia of techniques. The old police station was such a quaint and perfect venue. I would without a doubt do this class all over again, thanks Ronaldo!

Ronaldo was very patient with me in each step of creating my bowl. He guided me on how to make a bowl using very broken down steps and even gave us a demonstration. Very friendly and welcoming personality and he also is very organised. I really enjoyed my ceramic experience and would definitely go again, I’ve even recommended it to a friend so we will be going together.

I really enjoyed the 3 hr workshop. Ronaldo is a passionate and informative teacher, and most importantly very patient as it was all of our first times at the wheel. I am excited to see the results and will definitely go again in the future

Learning pottery has been on my bucket list for many years now and this class exceeded all my expectations. The venue was easy to get to, studio was bright, clean and welcoming and most importantly Ronaldo aka the dreadlock potter was fabulous. He clearly knew his stuff, explained things well and he went at a good pace, always on hand to help you and I was delighted with what I made. I had a great session and will be going back to learn more. This is my new found hobby!

Ronaldo is an amazing teacher from the word go ! He takes time to explain the process whether it’s throwing or hand building . He’s patient and knowledgable and I can’t wait for my next class !
Bettina Traub - 5 November 2019
Amazing and super friendly teacher with endless patience and big knowledge. Venue is very intimate and courses/ workshops are run on a small and very individual basis. Materials such as clay, glazes and tools are plentiful but you can also work with your own tools.

This was my first time using a potters wheel and Ronaldo made it a fantastic experience. He’s a great teacher with a lot of knowledge and skill, and he’s very funny too. I will be going back for more

I've had three different pottery teachers and Ronaldo is by far the best. He creates a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere, which is perfect to learn in. He's attentive and patient, which really helps you learn and progress. I've noticed even when he's helping another student, he'll be keeping and eye and will come over and offer help and suggestions.

Ronaldo is just the most chilled and patient teacher you could wish for. He is knowledgeable and extremely helpful in showing you the various pottery techniques. After initial intro he will show you the fundamentals of clay as well as throwing and hand building techniques. Afterwards he is always on standby for questions.
