I have now done this taster lesson twice. Loved it! I'm hoping to make this a proper hobby :) Lovely teachers who welcome you with a cuppa. Beautiful new studio and and great tutoring. Highly recommended
annaGreat course, really well structured and good overview of different techniques. Small class size meant you could get detailed feedback and help too.
Clara MurrayLovely studio with approachable and friendly teachers!
JulieLovely course with incredibly attentive teachers.
Cecilia OrrThis was my 4th time attending a course and have enjoyed it just as much as the first! Tessa & Kwok are phenomenal teachers and the class size allows you to learn at a good pace. It's a really relaxing way to spend a couple of hours on a Sunday, can't wait to sign up for the next one :)
Prathab NarenthiranThanks so much we had a lovely time!
Ross BurnsWhat an incredible course! I will be going again and have recommended to all my friends family and colleagues. Th instruction was great and the space beautiful - what a great way to spend an evening. Cannot recommend enough!
undefinedExcellent, enjoyable class. Learnt a lot in a short space of time and very caring and attentive experts on hand to guide us through. Was bought as a birthday gift and was a fun way to try something new.
JonWe had a rewarding and fun 2 hour intro lesson. The time was split between the wheel and hand crafting, all with close instruction and friendly guidance from 2 experienced teachers. The teachers are kind and patient and clearly love what they do. A great experience.
undefinedI had such a great time at the pottery class! The teachers were fantastic, and the studio was really nice. I can't wait to go back again!
Katerina ArnaudovaWonderful class with talented engaging leaders. The end product is beautiful and high quality.
DanielReally great taster course :) Would definitely recommend for anyone interested in learning about pottery.
undefinedHad a great time at the taster session, came away with two nice pots, very clear instructions from the teachers and lovely atmosphere!
undefinedReally enjoyable taster class. Friendly and patient teacher. Have something in mind that you want to make for the hand build prior to the class. I’m considering doing the longer course on the wheel.
undefinedVery 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.
P.Joy De-ShongSuch a fantastic and fun class - I want to do it again already! Absolutely beautiful space, great instructors, and a lovely course overall. Highly recommend!
Katherine McBrideI 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!
Fran Ogilvie VaezaReally lovely space and atmosphere, clear, concise instruction, excellent well constructed class. I really enjoyed it
Claudine HampI 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!
Anna HumberA 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.
BeaI 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!
Adriana RivadeneiraI recently took a pottery class at Sak Beh Pottery and it was an incredibly fulfilling experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff who were eager to share their passion for pottery. Tessa was patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging, making the learning process enjoyable for everyone in the class. The studio itself had a cozy and creative atmosphere, with plenty of space and all the necessary tools and materials readily available. Whether you're a complete beginner like me or more experienced, there's something for everyone here. Throughout the class, I was amazed at how quickly I was able to pick up the basics of pottery making, thanks to the clear instructions and hands-on guidance provided. By the end of the session, I had created two pieces that I never thought I'd be capable of making. Looking forward to collection in 3 weeks time. Overall, I highly recommend Tessa classes to anyone looking to explore their creative side through pottery. It's not just a class, it's an opportunity to unwind, express yourself, and discover a new hobby that brings joy and satisfaction.
Alessia PirasGreat fun
Jenny BeckGreat teaching, a lot of hands on with both Tessa and Kwok teaching a small group of 8. I’ve been to many other pottery workshops and by far this is my favourite! Definitely recommends the intensive courses to learn everything about the art.
Judy ZhouAn undoubtedly interesting experience held by people who had a good grasp on their craft and seemed to be passionate about it too. The studio is very pretty and clean. I liked all the pottery displayed. There were a few things that could be improved so the experience will be more relaxing, in my opinion. At times it was quite hard to see how the teacher positioned their hands on the clay. Either moving the wheel in a more suitable position (if that’s possible) or to be invited to gather around to observe from other angles could have helped with this issue. Sometimes the stuff seemed stressed and couldn’t find their words to explain clearly how to do something and what are the logical reasons for why a move should be done in a certain way. Therefore, I didn’t find all the explanations as clear as they could be and that made the experience a bit more stressful than I would like it to have been. That being said this was an interesting experience.
Sarah WarmanAmazing taster pottery experience, Tessa was a great tutor both patient and very knowledgeable in the techniques of pottery making …… Highly recommend 5*
Paul StuartSuch a beautiful space to learn in! The knowledge they shared was both helpful and made me curious for more of it. It was a fun overview of pottery. I would 100% recommend this class!
KaraReally great taster class to pottery. Beautiful studio and only a small class so the instructors were able to help us more!
Sarah FarringtonWe had a fantastic experience at Sak Beh pottery. The studio and vibes were really lovely. Neither of us had done any pottery before and it was a great introduction both to the wheel and hand building, the teachers were so friendly and patient. Would definitely recommend - thanks so much!
Georgie BoardmanGreat taster class, lovely teacher and cute studio, but two hours weren't sufficient to get a real taste - too little time was spent on explaining the techniques used, and there were too many people in the class to allow the teacher to spend sufficient time with each person. I'd suggest either extending the session to 3 hours, or alternatively focusing on one form of pottery rather than two. Thanks,
SharonBrilliant class! The workshop is lovely, and there are two teachers to guide the small group. There’s an hour on the wheel and an hour hand-building, so a great mix to try both techniques out.
Molly AshcroftReally lovely and informative taster session. Gorgeous studio!
Elisabeth WerenskioldI had a great experience at the Sak Beh Pottery Taster Class. The teachers are incredibly knowledge and helpful and very hands on. The space is welcoming and comfortable. Instruction was clear and I'm looking forward to going back!
Rachel LaryIt was a fun and very interesting class! The laboratory is wonderful!
Filippo ChiodiThoroughly enjoyed the course.
Mylene BrowneGreat experience, great instructors. I will do it again.
Rui CostaA wonderful opportunity to learn an art in a relaxed environment with two highly skilled potters. The 10 week course helps to develop all your skills in different styles of potting helped by the fact it’s a small class of six. The most therapeutic way to end a busy week and the most rewarding.
Tamsyn ParryAs absolute beginners, we quite enjoyed the class. We might have benefited from some more discussion of why we were doing each step on the wheel (not just what each step was). That said, we came out of the class more confident and excited to do more pottery classes.
Michael Lernernice studio and team but sadly course wasn't right for me.
Dan EpsteinA lovely studio with great teachers. As someone who’s never done pottery before it was a brilliant introduction. Only half downside is that you can only keep one of the two pieces made (the other you need to pay for).
YusunGreat teaching, very engaging and helpful!
Judy ZhouReally 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
Lisa DuongAmazing workshop with two teachers for a small group of people. Friendly, patient and knowledgeable, I really recommend the studio! Thank you
Margaux MartinIt was a great experience! We would love to come back for another beginner workshops :) thank you!
Ryoko NakamuraReally 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.
Matthew HichensA great studio, warm and knowledgable teachers. Definitely recommend.
Rose BaldwinAlways a pleasure to come here and make pots. Very friendly and with lots of good instructions and top tips to get the most out of your time here.
Anna LewisPerfect introduction into Pottery. Small class so not loads of people per instructor. Very helpful and friendly.
Connor HolmesThe whole experience is very nice. Clear instructions and helpful teachers... definitely go try it!
Sze Ki TsangBeautiful, clean studio with great teachers. Ratio of teachers to students is generous and great value for money. Would recommend!
rosie crockerLovely patient teachers, great environment - covered a lot in the 2 hours!
RoshniLovely instructors! Felt guided during the session and didn’t feel too rushed. Recommend!
CLAlthough we are currently waiting to collect our recently made pots, we had a fantastic time at this class. Both teachers were very informative and helpful. Couldn't have asked for more! Thank you!
PipReally great class in a beautiful studio. The team was really patient with us and so helpful in describing basic techniques!
ClaireI did the 2-hour tester session and I really enjoyed it. We were just 5 of us and was more like a private lesson. Definitely recommend.
Maria VolonakiGreat class! Time will fly by quickly as there’s so much to learn. Appreciate that they take the time to go through some theory so we understand what we're doing and not just going through the motions. It takes around 4 months to be proficient at wheel throwing, so you can imagine how packed it is condensed into a 2 hour session. But don’t worry, instructors are helpful and will remedy any issues that we have and guide you along. If you want a taster on wheel throwing, this is a great introduction to it.
HermanGreat workshop: 1 hour learning to throw on the wheel and then 1 hour hand with various hand techniques. Loved it! Thank you
Sophie RuckerLovely and instructive workshop in a lovely place.
MarieExcellent workshop. The studio is beautiful and the teaching was really well paced. Would highly recommend!
KevinA really excellent taster course. Really well structured and paced. It's incredible what you achieve in 2 hours. You learn a lot and create two pieces. The tutor is really patient and approachable.
Androulla MelekisThoroughly enjoyed the class. Very good value for what you pay. Would definitely recommend it.
Maggie HarteTessa's space & offering is a treat from the first to last moment. I walk into a studio where her upkeep and communication are clear and warm, I felt easy in the understanding of each step, I get to take home my own piece. In all Tessa made me feel safe in exploring & gradually celebrating the very beginnings of such a tender craft. Ten minutes walk away for more? Yes, please & thank you.
Adam WoodPerfection — lovely tranquil space, calm, confident teaching and free pita at the end!
ClaudiaIt'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!
ElizabethI had a great time and would definitely recommend!
Keely TavernerVery friendly people, fun and informative at the same time.
PetrosThe time went so quickly! This was really enjoyable and very informative. I learnt to throw a pot and am inspired to do it again. The teachers are really clear and helpful. I went with my daughter and it is a really fun activity to do together.
Anna HarveySuch a lovely evening class to go to - so calming yet engaging. Great hands-on help and guidance, but also enough time to practice and see how we could do ourselves. Thank you!
Fi HallettBeautiful pottery studio tucked away just off Stoke Newington High Street like a little oasis of calm and creativity. We learned a lot in our 2 hour taster and I can recommend it for a peaceful slice of mindfulness. It's actually a bonus that I managed to make something I was proud of! Great support from the teachers, great equipment, lovely experience!
Ros GrayI really enjoyed my course. I was guided with great patience and learnt so much. I hope I can do another course with the same course le as fees. Thank you
KarenGreat tutors lead you you through the process and help you quickly progress. More than happy that I was able to complete two pieces within the timeframe.
Brett BanksThis was such an enjoyable and therapeutic experience with Tessa who was so helpful and kind throughout. I love the pots which I came home with
Anna PierceGreat space and great teacher. highly recommend!
harrison macleanAn 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!)
Tracey MacarioStudio is lovely with a very relaxing atmosphere. Instructors are patient and clearly deeply experienced and knowledgeable. Highly recommend for anyone completely new to pottery!
juliaPhenomenal experience. Could not have been any better. 2 hours packed with action and learning. Thank you
Belal AlyWell run class, friendly and patient tutors.
NickySuper experience from a talented and experienced artist. A fantastic space to try my zero experienced hand and learn from the expert. Thoroughly recommend, wish I lived nearer to try again.
SueReally amazing experience for me and my mum. Highly recommend to any beginner!!!! The studio is beautiful
SusieHad a fab time throwing my first pots here, the teaching was great, lots of one on one help, our own throwing wheels and space to consolidate what we learned, and I came out with two beautiful pieces, a pot and a vase. The studio is also beautiful, v calm and quiet which I really liked.
Victoria-Anne TessaThis 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.
Prathab NarenthiranGreat experience, the studio is beautiful, we had access to two teachers for six students. Attention to details and crafting. I would definitely recommend it
Ursula Martinez TudelaA perfect way to start the day. Very relaxing, fun and creative. Small class sizes mean the teacher-student ratio is fantastic! Both our teachers were super friendly and helpful. I feel incredibly inspired and proud of my work! Can't wait to collect it in 3 weeks :)
Raakesh LadvaThe course was well structured and covered all of the basics for throwing and hand building. The class overall was fun and stimulating. The studio space is also very nice.
Giada GonzalezGreat class!
JacWonderful teacher and place. We will be back.
ThomasFantastic class. Both my husband and I were complete beginners and by the end of the session, we had grasped some basic skills in pottery and able to produce a bowl and a small vase. The art teacher was great, very patient and professional. I would definitely like to return and either repeat the beginners session or try the longer weekly course. Thanks
Tony KAKOURISLovely session. A friendly introduction to pottery. Cant wait for my next session. 😁
Gerie SimonSuch 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.
Laura nullHad 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!
Janis GriffithsFantastic time, Tessa is a brilliant teacher. Attended as complete beginners, highly recommend
CI enjoyed greatly my Saturday afternoon workshop and Tessa has a really kind way of teaching. I will definitely be back!
Laura RivasLoved the workshop. Very well structured informative and no one went home without a positive result. Thank you!
Penelope KupferMyself and my partner absolutely loved this workshop yesterday. The studio was spotlessly clean and a beautiful space. The instructor was welcoming, friendly and a great teacher, we both learnt so much and made 3 pieces each, 2 of which we each chose to keep. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to give pottery a go, we were really impressed at what we were both able to make in just 2 hours thanks to such a good teacher. Almost the whole session is spent hands on, on the wheel and I just can't recommend this enough. Thank you!
JessHad such a fantastic day! Will definitely be booking on for more workshops in the future, can’t wait to collect our bowlsb
Emily HolmAmazing class!
Grace Sheridan ShareI enjoyed my first time ever doing pottery on a wheel. I arrived late unfortunately but I was able to observe then get instruction despite. I did 3 pieces. I bought a 2nd piece to collect in 3 weeks. The instructors were very good. I wish to go back to practice but will see if a pottery class is nearby to where I live. I loved it. I want to learn more and become good at it and create designs.
AndreaExcellent facilities. What I liked about the session was that the tutor walked you through the first throw, clearly explaining what needed to be done at each step, and assisted with any issues in order to enable you to have one completed piece; thereafter, you were left to see if you could recall the steps and techniques correctly and create your own pieces without assistance (unless you really needed it - tutor keeping a watchful eye all the while with gentle reminders of the techniques if required). For a complete beginner, a wonderful introduction to throwing.
Philip WinstoneBeautiful studio, great teachers and looking forward to collecting my pot soon.
DawnReally 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
EmilyWent for a one off throw down workshop Which has resulted in booking the 5 day course. Loved it!! Great facilities and wonderful instructors.
Tamsyn ParryWe had a wonderful time. The instructor was very kind and informative. Would highly recommend it to beginners.
Sibel UgurThis is a brilliant workshop for learning how to throw cylinders. Tessa guides you through each step and her and Kwok are both such knowledgeable and calm teachers! I learned so much and will be back to do the practice sessions. The studio itself is also such a bright and relaxing space. I couldn't recommend Sak Beh more!
Senwelo FosterGreat course
Arthur SharplesLoved the class, instructions and guidance was clear. Great morning!
EmilyReally loved my first workshop at Sak Beh. Tessa and her colleague are really skilled and create a lovely atmosphere. Will be back to learn more!
Lewis BarnesWe had never done pottery before and really enjoyed the experience. Now looking forward to receiving our finished pieces and going to look at going back for another try!
David WrightLo e it I will try to do more classes
Cecilia GuardiolaSuper educational and enjoyable class in a beautiful studio. The perfect balance of hands on teaching and opportunity for experimentation. Would highly recommend!
ChloeExcellent attention to the details of instructing us in the beginners class. So much to learn, but the teaching was methodical, helpful and inspiring. We learnt all the basics we need to go to a pottery studio in the future and make more pots. We each made 3 pots, and were able to choose the one we want finished, glazed and fired for collection later. A wonderful soulful experience.
Julian RussellGood clear advice and a relaxed atmosphere when starting out to throw pots. In a light room with tea and coffee.😊
AnnaFantastic course with a really brilliant teacher. I really enjoyed it and can't wait to go back.
Alexandra MillerReally enjoyed this session, first time on a wheel, managed to throw two little pots that I am very pleased with. The teachers were excellent and the class size was perfect!
EiraThe 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!
PrathabI had a great time learning the basics. The teacher was very patient, I’ll recommend to friends!
Bradley BegleyHad great fun at the workshop. Highly recommend.
Alison FulkerTotally recommend. Me and my partner had such a good time and the instructor was so skilled, knowledgable and kind. We had to change the date of our booked class very last minute due to a covid scare (luckily we were fine!) and they got back to me within moments and let us move it to two weeks later. Very excited to go pick up our pots soon!
Hannah CorrieWe had a great morning on the wheel throwing session. Learnt so much in 2 hours and definitely looking forward to doing more in the future. Looking forward to picking up the finished results.
LucyI loved it!
FrancescaTessa was very thorough with her instructions and tuition and she remained calm and patient. The morning was extremely enjoyable and satisfying.
Louise BealeI really enjoyed the class. It was fun and informative.
Ray ShamiNice beginners introduction to wheel throwing. Our tutor was great and made sure everyone came home with at least one piece. Such a fun time!
Brie GobelI enjoyed the session very much. I wasn’t expecting to be able to throw a pot in the short time. But I enjoyed the whole experience of handling the fine porcelain(? ) I would have found it easier if there has been easily visible laminated reminder sheets of the sequence of required movements. It was all so new and different , my brain needed to take it in more slowly. The teacher was very helpful and somehow available to all of us! Thank you!
Jocelyn WellburnWe attended the Intensive Wheel Throwing Workshop on Saturday 19/07 in the afternoon. The experience was good but the course itself was not great: the teacher was clearly very good at pottery, but being an introductory course, we did not received enough insights into how the pieces are finished or what the aftermath process is. Also, I was not happy with having to wash and clean all the tools and wheel myself.
VERONICA SANTA LONDONOGorgeous little pottery studio! had a fantastic 2h learning how to throw clay! only down side is that its very difficult for a beginner and more tutoring would have been helpful. but for a beginner workshop can not fault it!
Tavishi PandyaThis was a brilliant class. The space itself is beautiful and the teacher was welcoming and helpful. There was a perfect balance of watching to learn and having a go. I can't wait to sign up for more sessions and highly recommend this class to everyone!
Stephanie VegaBringing new friends at Sak Beh each time I want to do pottery, is what I like to do. I just did my second 2hour session and I m so pleased and happy with it. The space is cool and welcoming, the sanitary rules are always respected and the tutor is happy to give you the attention you need when you get your hands on the wheel. I m planning to do register for the 5 week intensive course, don't miss it!
STYLIANOS FOTEINOPOULOSI had such a lovely time at Sak Beh Pottery! I was given a gift voucher for my birthday and opted to do the intensive wheel throwing workshop - something that was on my bucket list for a long time. Tessa was such a warm and kind teacher, expertly and patiently guiding us through the different hand techniques and educating us about the clay and the process. It was definitely challenging but so satisfying when you end up with what looks like a decent bowl or pot!! The first pot is free to keep and any others you want to keep you could buy. After 3 weeks you can come and collect the finished pots (they trim and glaze it for you) - can't wait to see mine!
Srishti ThapaA fantastic class, highly recommend! Great fun and great patient teacher, thank you!
Holly SmithI loved this session! It was so much fun and I really enjoyed it. Tessa who was the instructor was lovely and patient and made sure everyone had made something nice to take home by the end of the session. The studio is so cute it's light and airy, we were socially distanced (only 7 of us including Tessa) and had our own space without needing PPE screens which sometimes can ruin the social aspect (although we wore masks which was good). Everything about this experience was a 10/10 and I definitely want to come back again :)
AnaWe absolutely loved having a go at the pottery wheel but felt Tessa spent a bit too long instructing at the start. It was a lot of information to retain before we got to have a go. We also felt that 6 people was too many in one class, as we each spent quite a bit of time waiting for help when we got stuck with something.
Lucy FyffeFantastic class. Loved the space and the atmosphere also.
Vivienne GriffinLovely studio and ambiance that s following covid regulations. I felt safe. The teacher explains the throwing process so well and takes time with everyone and patiently to practice. What a great course, thank you
Alice HeberWe loved it!! So much fun, we would definitely do it again and recommend it
Lucy HuntWe loved the class,but the time went by so quickly!
Josh HunnisettLoved the class and as you can leave with two bowls it feels like very good value! I would just say that it would be nice to have a bit of an introduction at the very beginning, explaining who the teacher is and what we'll be doing in the class. Cheers!
AnonymousHad a great time. Straight to the point and lots of freedom and guidance. A feel for the process was encouraged through physical play rather than verbal explanation which was nice!
Elise BrimerA brilliant workshop in the most beautiful bright sunny studio. I am looking forward to attending future workshops.
Hayley McDonaldIt was a lovely class, very informative as well as plenty of time to practise on the wheel. I definitely recommend this class to many who are interested in pottery. I am even thinking of doing a longer course.
Melin KarabulutogluReally enjoyed taking this class ! A lovely first introduction to throwing clay. Can’t wait to do a more in depth course here in the future!
Maya McAllister DemangeatVery well organised class. Excellent teacher. I will definitely go back
Vasso HadwenMy sister and I had the most wonderful and interesting afternoon yesterday and left feeling so inspired and creative. Excellent, soothing teaching and so kind despite the fact I was utterly talentless - was completely out-pottered by my little sister. A skill we are both now determined to learn. Huge thanks!
Cecilia BarclayTessa is an excellent and very experienced teacher, very warm with a high degree of patience and love for what she is doing. We will definitely book more classes with her!
STYLIANOSGreat class! Lots of great tips and advice for beginners - highly recommend!
KellyI really enjoyed the class and was pleased with the things I made. I had never done it before. The teacher was very helpful and explained things well. Can’t wait to do another class
ClareI'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.
SelenaGreat session for beginners - Space and teaching was perfect! I would recomend!
NinaGreat course. The teacher is great and the space is beautiful.
MarinaPhenomenal course! Loved it :)
EkinI had a great time at this class and looking forward to picking up the bowl that I made! The teacher was really helpful and was a great guide for the class. I learned lots of new techniques and would definitely recommend this class to beginners who want a fun and easy introduction to throwing.
BeckyBev was a patient and hands on teacher. I learned a lot and really enjoyed the session!
Fong YeeGreat course, and really good teacher. I did the taster class, you won't come out of it an expert but it's deffinitely enough to make you realise how fun pottery is. The teacher will make sure you come out with some kind of pot. Would deffinitely recommend this course.
RebeccaLoved the class! Instructions were clear and quick so we could get the most out of the experience, the studio was so lovely and immaculately clean. Could have stayed all day! Highly recommend.
SophieIt was great fun, I’m looking forward to going back for another workshop!
AmyThis was a great class. I booked it for my friend's birthday, and we were able to make lots of pots on the wheel and collect one once its been fired (plus an additional charge to take home a 2nd). The teacher was friendly and patient, and the studio was a calm and clean environment.
LeahGreat couple of hours. Clear instructions and good fun
BenGreat to be back in the studio!
MeghanWhat a lovely class! Our teacher was great making everything really clear, and she was very attentive and helpful to everyone. She also very kindly allowed us to make several things to practise and I appreciated the fact that the making time was not cut off by cleaning time as this would have made the class much shorter. I was really pleased with my pots and I hope to do a longer course there!
CatherineMy husband and i had a lovely time. It was our first time at wheel throwing. We had lots of laughs and fun with other couples and the tutor. She was clear with instructions and on hand to help.
JennyAmazing workshop! Rosie was a really patient teacher, the studio was really relaxing and it was an immersive class where I learnt a lot! Can't wait to pick up our pieces in 2 weeks!
TamaraA really lovely introduction class to wheel throwing. The teacher was great, friendly and helpful, and the class was a lot of fun.
BeccaJust did one course so far but I can’t wait to go back
CelineI have only had my first session, but it was fantastic! Great teacher and lots of time to practice :)
AndrewThe course was well planned and organised. We were able to move onto the throwing very quickly and enjoy success early on. Highly recommended.
WendyIt was an excellent class really well organised and clear information and social distancing with PPE.We got to learn how to wedge and throw two pots and had step by step help on the way I fully recommend it !
StellaA wonderful experience.
FloraSo fun and really informative. Helped refresh my pottery skills and helped me with gaps in my knowledge. Everyone was really friendly, felt safe with everything going on with Covid and the space is so beautiful. Will hopefully go back soon :) Thank you!
HannahI really enjoyed the class, the teacher was very patient and explained everything really well and was very knowledgeable. The class was paced well and good value for money, I would definitely do another workshop to build on what I learnt!
LizA really wonderfully well-run class in a beautiful studio! We had a great time, learnt loads and managed to make a collection of little bowls to take home! Thank you so much, we will be returning!
EleanorI absolutely loved the workshop and can’t wait to sign up for another class
EmilyThe 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!
JoshGreat to get to see and experience every stage of the process! Tessa is great.
JessAn amazing class with a super dedicated teacher. The studio space was very pretty and was able to pick things up really easily! I'm a newbie to throwing but I can't wait to go back!!
MariamIt was the first time throwing and I really enjoyed it! The tutor was very friendly and explained everything thoroughly. A great experience and definitely spurred me on to do more!
TobyExcellent 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.
PeteLovely class size and lovely host, relaxing and welcoming and really well taught! Would highly recommend.
GabyThe 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.
AnnieThis 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 .
MichaelaIt was great fun and an amazing teacher. Definitely feel inspired to keep going :)
Dana:) very good class
MeghanThis was a brilliant introduction to the basics of wheel throwing. We had lots of time on the wheel and everything was demonstrated really well. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
JessGreat workshop, a lot of explaining at the beginning and cleaning at the end, allows for minimal time on the wheel. It would be useful if there was less time allocated to cleaning so more time could be spent on the wheel. Also it would be better if they were able to email us to let us know when the items are ready for collection. All in all a great workshop that I would recommend.
GemmaGreat workshop and teacher! It was just a bit difficult to collect the artwork. But we found a solution.
AdaGreat class and the instructor was helpful and very friendly!
TyraFantastic class. Eloise was a great teacher - gave really clear instructions, was very patient and made the class really fun. The 3 hours whizzed by and I learned loads. Would thoroughly recommend the class for any beginner or improver, and I'm considering going back for a longer course.
Amy ForbesWe had a lovely time. Really clear explanations, we made 2 pieces during the classe
GilouxThe workshop was fun but for beginners, having only one instructor was not enough. We also spent nearly an hour being spoken at. I think this is an incredibly long time and took a lot of the workshop. Maybe smaller classes and actually let people know when their items are ready. I've been checking the site and my class date isn't even on there.
KafThe workshop was very enjoyable and informative. We gained a good understanding of how the studio works and the process of making pots on the wheel. The studio is absolutely lovely and the teacher was great. In future, I would suggest that the class has fewer students or that the teacher has some support as the class ran-over a little and sometimes people were sitting waiting for help.
JoshThe workshop was wonderful! Everything was explained clearly and in detail from start to finish and because of the size of the workshop each attendee is given a lot of time to be explained how to do things or why things are going wrong etc. - will definitely be coming back!
ClaireThis course was just perfect. Very relaxed, super informative and our instructor was brilliant
RobertGreat environment. Great teacher, very patient and gave us all individual help as well as letting us just get on with it ourselves. Would highly recommend it.
karenThe studio is really clean and everything is in place :) The teacher was good in explaining all the process step by step by as there are a lot of information and details to take in mind, time goes fast during the theory part. I believe should be added an extra 30 min. to have more time to dedicate to practice, otherwise nothing to say! I look forward collecting my pieces!
ElisaReally enjoyable and therapeutic. Tessa is a great teacher!
HarriI really enjoyed the work shop, Tessa is a great teacher, helpful and knowledgable. Will definitely go back!
HarriWe had a great time on our 3 hour course. The setting it very relaxing, clean and inviting. The teacher was very informative and helped when we needed it but also let us make mistakes so we could learn how to rectify then. Really enjoyed it.
DianeWe had a great teacher; it was extremely interesting to learn about pottery. The workshop was engaging and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in wheel throwing.
AlonaHad a brilliant morning workshop learning to throw pottery. Very friendly and knowledgable teacher, and a beautiful studio to work in. Had time to make 3 pieces x some better than others!! Would 100% recommend the class.
NadiaThere was a lot of solid time in the wheel. I thoroughly enjoyed the class. Be aware however that there isnt an opportunity to put handles on your cups unless you take the 6 or 12 week course.
AnnieReally enjoyed the class and the teacher was very helpful and thorough in explaining the whole process.
MayaGreat course! Very thorough instructions from a very lovely, patient teacher, who helped all of us on the course throw some really quite impressive (for beginners!) mugs. bowls and vases on the wheel. Highly recommend!
AnneRosie was lovely and very patient with all of us! Happy with what we made and can’t wait to visit again
EmmaI really enjoyed this workshop! It was informative and great fun. The class was nice and small so we all had a chance to learn and get tips from the teacher, who offered clear guidance when needed but didn't interfere. I'd definitely recommend it for a fun afternoon of trying something new!
CGood class, with detailed instructions and lots of one-on-one teaching time. Very clean space!
KimMaybe not a great class for beginners.
LisaAttended with friends. Was a fun two hours we made two pots and picked them up a few weeks later. Great if you have had no experience.
NoneI can't rate the experience this time as we were not able to participate. I had booked to attend the class with a friend but there was something wrong with the booking system and we were turned away at the door. We received a refund but the class was booked far in advance and it was disappointing not to be able to take part in the class as we had travelled to get there.
NoneThe instructor was intimidating, every time I made a mistake she would say that “well this is not good because you’ve done this wrong again”. It made me feel insecure and useless as it was my first time doing it. Also, the class ended 30minutes earlier that stated. I was surprised that we could only take 1 of our creations home and an additional £3.50 will be charged if u want to take more than that. I have seen many other places that allows us to take 4 of our pieces home for free. Not worth £50 for the service and the fact that it was less than 3 hours.
TashaLots of fun, great teacher and we’ll definitely be back
PhilipI never expected to be able to actually throw a piece! So happy with what I made. The leader of the class was so nice and helpful and the studio was lovely
JoanneEloise was a great instructor and the studio is really cool and neat. The theory/practice ratio was good and the effort they put in the pieces after is impressive. Can't wait to pick up my final piece!
VIKTORIAAmazing experience! Went for my birthday with my friends and the instructor was so friendly and professional! Made it so much more fun. Highly recommend
StephanieA brilliant workshop in a lovely environment with a great and encouraging teacher.
RichardGreat way to try out throwing. Mallory was super helpful and knowledgable. Would recommend if you want to give pottery a go
CalliA fantastic way to get into throwing- my first experience and one I'd love to try again. We learnt the theory and tried out each step, a wonderful way to spend a sunday afternoon!
Rebecca WiseIt was really interesting and relaxing.
ulaIt was so much fun! we learned the basics and were able to keep the piece we loved. Also loved that they taught us about the importance of mindfulness with clay, making sure we don't waste it as we wash our hands in the sink.
CamilaIt was a very lovely experience. The teacher gave us very clear explanations. I really did appreciate the fact that the place was absolutely spotless. I only wish we could have done more trial by our self at the end (and a little less cleaning- even if i don't mind at all eheh :) ) I do highly recommend it! See you soon!
marieIt was a fun afternoon and the instructor was very knowledgeable but I would have liked more time actually playing with the clay as we only got two attempts on the wheel.
DominiqueThis workshop was honestly one of the most enjoyable things I’ve done in a while! It offered the perfect amount of teaching and hands-on practical experience so that you could get use to throwing in the time provided. I would 100% recommend it to anyone thinking about trying this art form out!
FelicityReally enjoyed it. Thank you!
LenaReally good fun. Great teacher and nice studio 👏
RolloMy first time throwing--we learnt all the important stages and I really enjoyed the process! Can't wait to pick up my pot.
BeckyGreat teacher who taught us a lot of techniques during a 3hours pottery session. Pretty studio where they respect all materials and are eco-friendly. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested and wants to learn more!
SofieReally great workshop, the studio is warm, clean, and cozy! Would highly recommend to anyone, found throwing really hard and satisfying at the same time.
NicoIt was our first time throwing and we loved it! Rosie is a really amazing teacher, she talks through everything so clearly and gives lots of help if you're not so confident. Highly recommended!
AliciaSuch a nice instructor ! She went though everything so thoroughly and helped when needed but also allowed you to just have fun with it. Perfect for people who have never done something like it! X
VioletGreat introduction to wheel spinning. Would've liked better timekeeping!
ErnestFantastic instructor and beautiful studio. The beginners workshop I attended was really enjoyable with a lovely vibe. The instruction and modelling was perfect for absolute beginners. It’s a bit of a shame that the pots are glazed for you and that you’re only allowed to keep one - I hadn’t realised this beforehand - but do understand given time constraints. I’d love to come back for more sessions!
VEWhat a beautiful studio, the photos do not do it justice. Had a few problems with too many folks showing up for the class which the owner was not able to manage well and instead blamed Obby. Was an incredibly awkward start. The instructions and class were great, although the wheel throwing was more difficult that I thought it would be! The instructor was super hands on and helpful and was able to make some pots. They don't send you any reminders when your pots are done, you have to check their website for this - don't forget!
SophieHad a great time! Rosie was very patient. She talked through all the steps - excellent particularly for beginners!
ElenaThe class was very fun and the teachers worked were very knowledge and helpful.
OliviaGreat taster experience, and good introduction to the fundamentals/basics. The instructor was very friendly and clear in her instructions, and the small group makes the experience all the more fun and engaging!
JoyceLovely studio! Very informative on basics and had a great time on the wheel as a beginner. Would definitely recommend!
Choi-HaReally great class and helpful instructor.
MollieReally enjoyed my this workshop. Each person had their our own station (no sharing/split time), we learned a little about pottery and clay, as well as the techniques we would be using. We watched the teacher making a pot and then we applied what we learned to our piece. At the end, everyone helped clean the stations so we also learned about the cycle of clay and how you can reclaim it, as well as the care you should have with silica dust. The studio also offers classes if you're keen on that after the workshop. Can't wait to pick up my piece!
PatriciaGreat workshop, beautiful studio, incredibly useful tuition. Will come back!
ClementineSuch a great class. Delightful studio with wonderful facilities. Our teacher was brilliant- so patient and inspiring and clearly a true love for clay and ceramics.
RebeccaReally informative, fun class - can recommend!
HazelClass was overbooked and I was not given any notice or cancellation. I showed up as booked but was told I could not attend. This is the second time something like this has happened. I can't comment on the teaching.
Chris AndrewOkay.
NoneSuch a lovely and supportive teacher! The number of students are perfect so everyone has equal amount of attention. The studio space is very very clean and comfortable. Go for it!
Sabrina azmanGabby is a wonderful teacher! She has an extensive technical knowledge which allows for a very informative and insightful throwing experience. You do not feel rushed within the timeframe and are able to ask questions to get the most out of the workshop. It was a relaxed environment with no judgement and the studio is beautifully set up and organised, uncluttered and bright - a perfect creative atmosphere and I will definitely be coming back! Thank you to Gabby and Tessa for having me.
EmmaWas back for my 3rd class, and again was so much fun. Tessa is a great teacher!
annaGreat space and great class!
CristinaI took my mum for mothers day and she really enjoyed the experience too! we can't wait to go pick up our creations and see how they turned out.
LauraSuch an enjoyable class, our instructor Gabbi was an amazing instructor. I will definitely be back for more lessons in the future.
LauraThe course is was fun and I learned a lot. The teacher was very passionate and helpful. I'll definetely go back!
ilariaSuch a lovely class with a passionate and talented teacher. The studio space was so inspiring and the class size was perfect. I'm totally addicted and can't wait to go back!
EmilyThe class was great! For the first 45-60 minutes we were shown the concepts and basics of throwing in a clear and comprehensive manner. We then spent about an hour and a half having a go ourselves. Gabby, the instructor, was friendly, welcoming, helpful, inclusive and gave clear direction while allowing room for creativity and error. It was exactly what I was looking for from a first session and has spurred me on to take up a five week course. Thanks!
DannyGreat class, very enjoyable! Malory was a very detailed instructor. It would have been great though if Sak Beh had a few pictures of what you wanted to achieve at each step to keep you on track (also one step - centring - wasn't on the board of steps). Otherwise great session and really appreciated the feedback along the way! Thank you :)
ChristinaI really enjoyed the workshop. The teacher was great, really enthusiastic, interested in what we were making and made sure we all ended up with something to take back from the session. I will definitely recommend this class! 5 star from me!
BushraBrilliant afternoon spent learning about pottery crafting and main techniques to shape and throw. Quite a challenge but the instructor as fab! Was such a laugh and would totally do it again :)
JyotiVery good class which I really enjoyed. I will recommend to others.
SAVIOURRosie is very friendly and welcoming. She is explained very clearly all the process from start to finish to gives us instructions on what to do. She also made sure everyone got some help when needed. I would have wanted also to paint my piece after the firing, but looking forward for other sessions when that will be possible. Rosie makes pottery throwing achievable for everyone!
AriannaSuch a great class and I hope to do more in the future , absolutely brilliant teachers !
MichaelaFantastic value for money. Session started promptly with a health and safety briefing and instructions about throwing the clay. Then we picked up our clay, choose a wheel and got started. It was a great learning environment and we were actively supported and instructed throughout.. I was very happy when I picked up my two pots, which had been fired and glazed. I would highly recommend this taster session.
HazelHad such an amazing class with Malory,she was so thorough and really explained everything so well. A great first experience with Obby in a beautiful studio
EmmaGood, Clean Facilities
LilyA really enjoyable session. My husband and I thought that it was well organised. Rosie provides clear instructions and demonstrations - she made sure she gave everyone some individual time to help with their pottery. I was really pleased with the items I made. The venue was lovely: clean, bright and well equipped.
AayshaSak Beh Studio is a beautiful space and Gabby is a lovely and really helpful and encouraging teacher. Great way to spend an evening..will be coming back !
IsabelleThoroughly enjoyed this taster session - the studio is beautiful and Mallory was such a brilliant instructor. She was so passionate about ceramics it was impossible not to share her enthusiasm, and she was calm, patient, and supportive throughout. I unreservedly recommend this class!
SuzanneI have now done this taster lesson twice. Loved it! I'm hoping to make this a proper hobby :) Lovely teachers who welcome you with a cuppa. Beautiful new studio and and great tutoring. Highly recommended
annaGreat course, really well structured and good overview of different techniques. Small class size meant you could get detailed feedback and help too.
