This was a disappointing experience. I am surprised that there are many positive reviews.
My main concern is lack of equipment and overbooking of the course. It was around 20 of us but there were not enough pottery making stations. We had to share (3 people per station and 4 people per station).
Because of this I did not learn much. I felt the course was rushed and not well delivered.
I do not recommend.

This was an enjoyable, educational session and I do feel I had a good experience with plenty of support and encouragement from the tutor. I am pleased with what I made and it was a full use of time - I don't know how any more could fit into the amount of time available! However, it did not match the description of the class. The description states that there are four parts to the session and that at the end of the session you can keep two pieces of your creations. However this is not true. The session involves throwing on the potter's wheel in the standing position, and you get to make something during this part. You then partly dry it with a blowtorch and can then decorate the partly dried creation. At the end you have created one piece, which you can keep. There is no finger size miniature pottery as stated in the description, there is no demonstration of coiling as a building technique, and there was no option given of decorating existing pottery (either instead of or in addition to decorating what we had made). Aside from the misselling, it was an enjoyable class and the tutor was good. It is also less of a party drinking experience than described, which was fine by me so the level was about right.

Really disappointed. The class itself was fun but felt like everyone was just waiting to use the wheel and the other activity was just to occupy everyone. Maybe have the classes smaller? The teacher was friendly but seemed a bit stressed doing it on his own! Nearly 2 months later I have sent a couple emails to pick up my pottery and no reply! My advice: spend abit more on a pottery class. It will be a better experience!

A really nice class... however there were only two wheels which meant most of the class was spent hand building rather than on the wheels.

Such a fun birthday morning! Learnt a lot.

Such a fun class to take, I’d highly recommend it! I had never worked with clay before but found it very informative with a great friendly atmosphere.

Had a lovely evening hand building pottery and having a quick go on the wheel. I would have liked a bit longer to practice on the wheel, but they only have 2 wheels and the class is quite big - so bear this in mind if you are wanting to do a lot of work on the wheel. The time also flies by so i would definitely advice to come with a vision or some idea of what you want to create!

Fantastic workshop with a really passionate host! We learnt different techniques of making pots, both on and off the wheel. We look forward to picking up on glazed pots in a couple of weeks! Great evening out with some friends after work, especially if you take a bottle with you.

My friends and I had a great time together at Token. Our teacher was so lovely and a very good teacher! Would definitely recommend and go again. M
