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
anna
Loved the workshop. Very well structured informative and no one went home without a positive result. Thank you!
Penelope Kupfer
Myself 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!
Jess
Had such a fantastic day! Will definitely be booking on for more workshops in the future, can’t wait to collect our bowlsb
Emily Holm
Amazing class! I’ll definitely come back! :)
Francesca Ena
Amazing class!
Grace Sheridan Share
I 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.
Andrea
Excellent 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 Winstone
Excellent tuition - a really great experience, thank you We took a 2 hour private class for me and mum, mix of wheel and hand building. Tessa is a first class teacher and also very calm, patient and kind. We learnt so much and were much more productive than I expected in such a short time. Thank you
NICK Rylance
I had a lovely experience at this private wheel throwing class with my sister. It was an extremely relaxing environment with such a patient ,kind teacher.
Lynwen Orchard
Beautiful studio, great teachers and looking forward to collecting my pot soon.
Dawn
Friendly team who had everything ready to go for the practise sessions and offered useful tips. Thanks :)
Jenny
I took my girlfriend here for her birthday and we both had a very fun time. The space is clean and tidy and the teacher is very welcoming. We picked a beginner class which was totally appropriate for us. The lesson was very chilled and was at a pace which enabled you to learn and follow the stages without feeling like you were getting left behind. The vibes were good. The music was nice. We had a really fun time. I would definitely go again. I highly recommend at least trying this once in your life. Its not as easy as it looks on tv lol
Reon Thomas
Super fun activity and great experience, just wished I had more time but would definitely recommend to friends and family!
Cham Nguyen
Really 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
Emily
Went for a one off throw down workshop Which has resulted in booking the 5 day course. Loved it!! Great facilities and wonderful instructors.
Tamsyn Parry
A great day trying to master a new skill. Excellent tuition. I’ll definitely come back. Thank you
Jason
This was an excellent class and I learnt so much! There is plenty of 1-2-1 coaching, the space is lovely and lots of refreshments are provided - plus I walked away with some greats new pots!
Eloise Craven-Todd
We had a wonderful time. The instructor was very kind and informative. Would highly recommend it to beginners.
Sibel Ugur
Great experience. Bought as a gift for my partner, private wheel throwing session for two. We really enjoyed the workshop and can't believe how beautiful our pieces look with the white glaze.
Tigerlilian Myall
Phenomenal! What a lovely experience… This was booked by my partner as part of my birthday celebration. Despite forgetting to mention we might get a little ( A lot) messy and maybe not to wear white… This was a really great experience from beginning to end! Tessa made us both feel welcomed and at ease from the minute we steered into her quirky studio. She was patient and happy to go over things a few times for two clumsy beginners! After a few hours of laughs & relaxing clay work whilst listening to D’Angelo (Tessa’s great choice), we were surprised when we realised we’d actually managed to create some beautiful work. Thanks to Tessa for a great experience, we’ll definitely be back!
Sceion John
This 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 Foster
Great course
Arthur Sharples
Loved the class, instructions and guidance was clear. Great morning!
Emily
Really 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 Barnes
We 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 Wright
Lo e it I will try to do more classes
Cecilia Guardiola
What an amazingly fun day being introduced to the basics of ceramics. Getting to experience each stage of the process with the expert and ever patient Tessa and Kwok who were super encouraging and helped us create some beautiful attempts at bowls and vases ;) . Then we were given the chance to trim and decorate some pieces that we will be able to keep as memories of this fantastic day! Beautiful studio and great value - thanks guys!
Alasdair May
Super educational and enjoyable class in a beautiful studio. The perfect balance of hands on teaching and opportunity for experimentation. Would highly recommend!
Chloe
Excellent 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 Russell
Really enjoyed and benefitted from the throwing session. Space and facilities are excellent with plenty of support and advice. Highly recommended.
Mansel Davies
We had the most wonderful time during our 2 hour private taster class. We learned so much on the wheel and unleashing our creativity in the hand building hour. Our teacher was fantastic - so skilled and so encouraging. I would absolutely recommend for everyone to lose themselves for two hours in sheer joy.
Kay Buchan
I had a two hour beginners throwing session at Sakbeh with my partner… I couldn’t recommend it enough. Great direction, concise support and a calming creative space.
Shane
Good clear advice and a relaxed atmosphere when starting out to throw pots. In a light room with tea and coffee.😊
Anna
Fantastic course with a really brilliant teacher. I really enjoyed it and can't wait to go back.
Alexandra Miller
Really 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!
Eira
The 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!
Prathab
Beautiful studio and really instructive guidance and teaching from the friendly and knowledge owners. Highly recommended.
Tricia Patel
A calm and serene space. Very clean and organised studio. Small class size means all participants get adequate attention. Teresa is a very experienced teacher who is keen to pass on her knowledge.
Anonymous
I had a great time learning the basics. The teacher was very patient, I’ll recommend to friends!
Bradley Begley
Had great fun at the workshop. Highly recommend.
Alison Fulker
Totally 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 Corrie
We 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.
Lucy
Lovely intimate studio, with a fluid teaching style that adapts to your needs!
Mark Izatt
Fantastic evening spent crafting a piece which I cannot wait to collect once it has been glazed! So helpful, friendly and a lovely calm creative space - would highly recommend
Jessica Jennings
The workshop was so informative, and Tessa was very patient with us students and gave us very useful tips!
Francesca
I loved it!
Francesca
Would recommend. Enjoyable and relaxing class.
Josephine Evans
Tessa was very thorough with her instructions and tuition and she remained calm and patient. The morning was extremely enjoyable and satisfying.
Louise Beale
I did my first ever throwing class @ Sak Beh Studio back in November 2019, and have continued to do ad hoc classes throughout lockdown. The studio has been really accommodating during this difficult period and offering classes when can. Sak Beh in general is amazing, a great and calm space to learn with all the tools/equipment on hand. The teachers are fantastic and gently guide you through throwing which is a lot harder than it looks. You get to learn everything from how to make a basic pot to understanding how a studio works. A unique experience and amazing value. Highly recommended.
Jane
I really enjoyed the class. It was fun and informative.
Ray Shami
Nice 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 Gobel
I love pottery . I also love baking and decorating , and this happy combination came together in my first ever pottery class . I didn’t dare tackle the wheel (yet) so opted for the moulding clay technique clearly explained by owner Tessa who kindly sorted out the details of my gift voucher which I had been unable to use during lockdown . Sak Beh is a stylish little studio , intimate but with ample space to create and chat to fellow class mates , all half my age and amazingly creative ! I loved their enthusiasm and found the whole experience strangely therapeutic once the anxiety of starting from scratch faded . It was tempting to decorate my simple plate more lavishly, but had to reign it in , less is more !. Can't wait to see it glazed next .
Angela
I 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 Wellburn
We 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 LONDONO
The class was very enjoyable!
Blessing Olaoye
Gorgeous 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 Pandya
This 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 Vega
The atmosphere is calm and hard working, and the workshop owner, Tessa, is very attentive and her help is productive. The price is very reasonable for the reward!
Judith Symons
Amazing class! In such a beautiful little shop. Such a helpful friendly teacher, would definitely recommend x
Francesca Costanzo
Great!
Andrew Nairne
Bringing 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 FOTEINOPOULOS
Lovely experience. Tess was nice and helpful with us all. The studio is really pretty!
Carolina Magro
I 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 Thapa
A fantastic class, highly recommend! Great fun and great patient teacher, thank you!
Holly Smith
I 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 :)
Ana
We 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 Fyffe
Fantastic class. Loved the space and the atmosphere also.
Vivienne Griffin
Lovely 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 Heber
Tessa is an amazing teacher and the studio is a complete dream - intimate, inspired, and the perfect throwing sanctuary. These kinds of classes are perfect for me to continue practicing and honing my skills, as I’m no longer a beginner but need to learn and develop! Big thanks to Tessa for creating this space.
Charmaine Che
We loved it!! So much fun, we would definitely do it again and recommend it
Lucy Hunt
A lovely, warm, clean studio and Tess is a great tutor.
Gemma Champ
We loved the class,but the time went by so quickly!
Josh Hunnisett
Very good class. Excellent and very attentive teacher
Vasso Hadwen
Loved 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!
Anonymous
Really enjoyed my time at Sak Beh. The tuition was excellent and really helped me improve.
Michael Amherst
I've lost count of what visit number this is for me now but needless to say, I love this space. Its so bright and airy, things are spotless and very COVID safe and Tessa patiently helps with any random question you may have and encourages creativity. I only wish there was studio membership available so I could go for more than just the single 3hrs a week! I'd love to be able to make more than 2 items a class and would happily pay for the additional clay and access hours.
Selena
Had 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 Brimer
A brilliant workshop in the most beautiful bright sunny studio. I am looking forward to attending future workshops.
Hayley McDonald
It 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 Karabulutoglu
Really great sessions to refine skills & with teaching support
Gabriella Holmes
Great to be back in this wonderful studio
Gabriella Holmes
Really 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 Demangeat
Very well organised class. Excellent teacher. I will definitely go back
Vasso Hadwen
My 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 Barclay
Great to be back in this beautiful studio! I love working in this space. Every tool you need is available and Tessa is always happy to help with any detail.
Selena
I love spending time at Sak Beh Pottery - it's a lovely space where you can just be completely absorbed in what you are doing. Tessa is a great teacher and it's a great environment to learn in.
Catherine Thomson
A lovely little studio, very clean and warm, and Tessa offers very personalised teaching. Definitely going back.
Gemma Champ
Informative small class, which felt Covid secure. A beautiful array of glazes to choose from. Very excited for the next class! Thank you to Sak Beh and to Tessa our brilliant teacher.
Chiara
Tessa was so helpful in guiding me along different processes I have not used before!
Chloe
I love working in Tessa's studio. She has everything you need and the place is spotlessly clean and COVID precautions taken.
Selena
Tessa 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!
STYLIANOS
Great class! Lots of great tips and advice for beginners - highly recommend!
Kelly
I 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
Clare
Great opportunity for independent projects with hands on help whenever requested from Tessa. Beautiful space in which to work in :)
Selena
Tessa was extremely helpful, and helped me relearn after lockdown! X
Chloe
I'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.
Selena
Great session for beginners - Space and teaching was perfect! I would recomend!
Nina
Great course. The teacher is great and the space is beautiful.
Marina
Phenomenal course! Loved it :)
Ekin
I 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.
Becky
I bought this for my wife as a surprise birthday present for her wife and friends. She really enjoyed it and loved the teacher. They are now starting out a pottery collective and I have to fork out for a kiln in our back garden so be warned it can become very addictive!
Stefan
Bev was a patient and hands on teacher. I learned a lot and really enjoyed the session!
Fong Yee
Great 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.
Rebecca
Loved 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.
Sophie
It was great fun, I’m looking forward to going back for another workshop!
Amy
Absolutely amazing. Firstly the studio is really accessible and very clean and cozy. The teacher was amazing and soooooo helpful. Gave us tons of ideas and helped us along the way. My partner and I will definitely be visiting again and we cannot wait to collect our finished pieces we made.
Terry-Ann
This 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.
Leah
Great couple of hours. Clear instructions and good fun
Ben
Great to be back in the studio!
Meghan
The taster session was great, got a good feel of what I wanted to achieve. The studio is gorgeous
Martha
Amazing experience. Teacher was kind and patient with our group. Would definitely recommend.
Janice
What 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!
Catherine
My 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.
Jenny
Amazing 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!
Tamara
A really lovely introduction class to wheel throwing. The teacher was great, friendly and helpful, and the class was a lot of fun.
Becca
Just did one course so far but I can’t wait to go back
Celine
I have only had my first session, but it was fantastic! Great teacher and lots of time to practice :)
Andrew
The course was well planned and organised. We were able to move onto the throwing very quickly and enjoy success early on. Highly recommended.
Wendy
It 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 !
Stella
Better than expected even. Really friendly, teacher and other potters. Didn't need any experience and so satisfying building something to be proud of in 2 hours. The teacher was patient and had time for everyone. Learnt a lot and cannot wait to collect my sculptured pot after firing.
sarah
A wonderful experience.
Flora
So 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!
Hannah
I 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!
Liz
A 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!
Eleanor
I absolutely loved the workshop and can’t wait to sign up for another class
Emily
We ended up being alone in the class, we loved it and we definitely got the pottery bug :)
Valentino
The 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!
Josh
Great to get to see and experience every stage of the process! Tessa is great.
Jess
An 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!!
Mariam
It 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!
Toby
Excellent 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.
Pete
Lovely class size and lovely host, relaxing and welcoming and really well taught! Would highly recommend.
Gaby
The 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.
Annie
This 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 .
Michaela
It was great fun and an amazing teacher. Definitely feel inspired to keep going :)
Dana
:) very good class
Meghan
This 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.
Jess
Great 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.
Gemma
Great workshop and teacher! It was just a bit difficult to collect the artwork. But we found a solution.
Ada
Great class and the instructor was helpful and very friendly!
Tyra
Fantastic 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 Forbes
We had a lovely time. Really clear explanations, we made 2 pieces during the classe
Giloux
The 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.
Kaf
The 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.
Josh
The 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!
Claire
This course was just perfect. Very relaxed, super informative and our instructor was brilliant
Robert
Great 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.
karen
The 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!
Elisa
Really enjoyable and therapeutic. Tessa is a great teacher!
Harri
I really enjoyed the work shop, Tessa is a great teacher, helpful and knowledgable. Will definitely go back!
Harri
We 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.
Diane
Fantastic afternoon doing something completely different. Teachers were great and we achieved a lot in the time available Thank you
Alex
We 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.
Alona
Had 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.
Nadia
There 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.
Annie
Really enjoyed the class and the teacher was very helpful and thorough in explaining the whole process.
Maya
Great 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!
Anne
Amazing course and well worth it even if you have no artistic bone in your body. Our teacher was patient, passionate and gave very comprehensive instructions and demonstrations. We were shown the entire process from preparing the clay to throwing a useful mug/vase/bowl (or two!) and it was so much fun and super rewarding to learn a new skill. Highly recommend!
Anne
Thoroughly enjoyable taster class. As someone who is a complete novice at pottery throwing I’m now really keen to develop the skill.
Laura
Rosie was lovely and very patient with all of us! Happy with what we made and can’t wait to visit again
Emma
Great friendly class, lovely environment. Would’ve preferred to spend more time on the wheel as we were rushed and had to clean afterwards. Otherwise lovely set up.
Inole
I bought this as a gift for my friend and she loved it! She thought the space was really inviting, the teacher engaging and informative. She liked the balance of pinching and throwing techniques. She could've said all of this purely to make me think she enjoyed her gift, but she's not one for lying and kept me updated with pictures.
Amy
I 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!
C
Good class, with detailed instructions and lots of one-on-one teaching time. Very clean space!
Kim
Really great pottery class especially for the price! Beautiful little studio as well.
Anna
Had a really great class - small size and very friendly teachers. Lovely studio!
Sajni
Really enjoyable course in a beautiful studio. Very good introduction for beginners as you get to do both the throwing and the pinch pot, and you get something to take away at the end. Well supported and would recommend!
Fangyi
Maybe not a great class for beginners.
Lisa
Attended 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.

I 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.

The 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.

Lots of fun, great teacher and we’ll definitely be back
Philip
I 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
Joanne
Really well taught session and good amount of time on both the throwing and hand moulding. Could easily have spent another hour there!
Neeraj
Eloise 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!
VIKTORIA
Amazing experience! Went for my birthday with my friends and the instructor was so friendly and professional! Made it so much more fun. Highly recommend
Stephanie
A brilliant workshop in a lovely environment with a great and encouraging teacher.
Richard
Great way to try out throwing. Mallory was super helpful and knowledgable. Would recommend if you want to give pottery a go
Calli
A 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 Wise
It was really interesting and relaxing.
ula
It 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.
Camila
It 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!
marie
It 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.
Dominique
This 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!
Felicity
Really enjoyed it. Thank you!
Lena
Really good fun. Great teacher and nice studio 👏
Rollo
My first time throwing--we learnt all the important stages and I really enjoyed the process! Can't wait to pick up my pot.
Becky
Great 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!
Sofie
Great space and teachers. It'd be nice to have more time to make mistakes and learn on the wheel and with hand crafting, but as an introductory taster it was perfect. A bit crowded, and a bit of a scramble during the clean up, but still really worthwhile. Left me wanting to do more more more! Can't wait to pick up our finished pieces :-D i'd do another here for sure
Nicholas
Really great workshop, the studio is warm, clean, and cozy! Would highly recommend to anyone, found throwing really hard and satisfying at the same time.
Nico
Such good value for money and a seriously enjoyable class with really nice teachers!
Emily
Had a good time but felt quite rucmshed doing both throwing and hand building in the short time. Would have preferred to work for the whole time on just one of the activities and really get a feel for it. Also collection times for picking up work are not particularly flexible and difficult for someone working full time in another area.
Hannah
It 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!
Alicia
Such 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
Violet
Great introduction to wheel spinning. Would've liked better timekeeping!
Ernest
Fantastic 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!
VE
What 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!
Sophie
Had a great time! Rosie was very patient. She talked through all the steps - excellent particularly for beginners!
Elena
The class was very fun and the teachers worked were very knowledge and helpful.
Olivia
Great 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!
Joyce
Lovely studio! Very informative on basics and had a great time on the wheel as a beginner. Would definitely recommend!
Choi-Ha
Really great class and helpful instructor.
Mollie
Really 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!
Patricia
Great workshop, beautiful studio, incredibly useful tuition. Will come back!
Clementine
Such 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.
Rebecca
Really informative, fun class - can recommend!
Hazel
Class 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 Andrew
Okay.
None
Such 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 azman
Gabby 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.
Emma
Was back for my 3rd class, and again was so much fun. Tessa is a great teacher!
anna
Great space and great class!
Cristina
I 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.
Laura
Such an enjoyable class, our instructor Gabbi was an amazing instructor. I will definitely be back for more lessons in the future.
Laura
The course is was fun and I learned a lot. The teacher was very passionate and helpful. I'll definetely go back!
ilaria
Such 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!
Emily
The 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!
Danny
Great 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 :)
Christina
I 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!
Bushra
Brilliant 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 :)
Jyoti
I had an amazing and very special experience at the taster class in this studio. Tessa is a very generous and kind person, organised and clear on her instructions. I was able to make my first pot with a lid and some really unique details. I then spent the rest of the workshop painting a beautiful bowl that she had prepared for all students. I will certainly go back regularly and sign up to the full course. I highly recommend this place/
Valentina
Very good class which I really enjoyed. I will recommend to others.
SAVIOUR
Rosie 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!
Arianna
Such a great class and I hope to do more in the future , absolutely brilliant teachers !
Michaela
Fantastic 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.
Hazel
Had 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
Emma
Good, Clean Facilities
Lily
A 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.
Aaysha
Sak 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 !
Isabelle
Thoroughly 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!
Suzanne
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
anna
Loved the workshop. Very well structured informative and no one went home without a positive result. Thank you!
