really enjoyed the class, lovely venue, great teacher, I had fun making my pot and am happy with the results.
LilyFantastic crafty experience from start to finish. Francesca’s experience shone though and she was super patient with the whole group. 12 completely different coloured and equally beautiful plant pots made by the various members of the group.
LiziFab, wholesome plant pot making workshop held inside a plant shop. Instructor was lovely and attentive, class was a suitable size and comfortable in length so that you weren’t rushed. Love my pot and already filled it with a plant bought on site.
shannaAbsolutely brilliant afternoon, I really enjoyed the workshop. Francesca is a patient & clear tutor, the steps were easy to follow & very relaxing. The result is that you get a lovely plant pot to take home & admire.
EstherFabulous class would highly recommend ! It was a relatively small group so it was easy for anyone to get any help they needed. Francesca was lovely and took time explaining everything clearly to everyone. Really lovely atmosphere and everyone was really happy with the pot the left with!
SophieI got the workshop as a gift from my mum, it was reasonably priced, and so much fun. Plus fran was so kind and generous when we had to rebook twice (out of date range) due to various things, and she was very understanding. The class itself was fun, engaging, and we came away with a new skill and a lovely new plant pot! Thanks Fran!

LaurenWe had a great time learning something new and having a fun, creative experience. Salt Studios provided a knowledgeable workshop to inspire our pot making. Thank you!
Miriam ChisholmI did this workshop yesterday and I had a really great time. I’m not a particularly creative person but Fran was so lovely and so helpful with explaining the steps and correcting some colour mixing mishaps. I found the whole session really relaxing after a stressful week and I left feeling so good. I am beyond thrilled that I got to create my pot from start to finish and take it home with me. I have already had several compliments on it. I can’t recommend this workshop enough. I would definitely do it again and any other similar workshops that Fran might do in future :)
KatieReally fun class! Keep doing what you’re doing
katie westbrookWonderful class, great teaching with a beautiful pot at the end!
Rebecca DallisonReally great workshop. The pot is gorgeous! Completely up to you what colours you use. Fran was really relaxed, informative and helpful. I did this at London Terrariums (a brilliant space & well located) and everything was organised so well, even with drinks and snacks provided. Would love to do again!
Lizzie SpeirsAbsolutely fantastic workshop! Fran is a great teacher, super patient and so much fun. My friends and I had such a wonderful time and were so happy with our gorgeous new pots. Cannot recommend enough - thank you so much, Fran.
Alicia VidalFantastic workshop! I took my mum as a birthday present and we had so much fun and made some gorgeous pots. We loved that it was really hands on and we got to mix our own colours to create something bespoke. The process is interesting, with different techniques and stages to get to the final product, and it’s fab that it only takes a few hours, so you get to take your finished pot home with you! Great for impatient people like me. Francesca is lovely and a brilliant teacher. The whole vibe of the workshop was one of the best we’ve experienced. Highly recommend!
Helen KingHad a fantastic time! We made great looking pots, and enjoyed the process. Being able to do the course and have a product to takeaway in one afternoon was superb. The host was fun and overall would highly recommend!
Adam LayzellHad a great time and was a relaxing and fulfilling way to spend a Sunday! Fran gave clear instructions and encouraged us to take risks with our colour choices and have faith in the process :) She shared biscuits too!
RebekahWe had a lovely session with a great tutor and made a really stunning plant pot. Pleasant company and a truly relaxing experience!

Maria CorchoI must say it was a fantastic experience!!! Francesca provided excellent guidance throughout the entire process and it was great to see her work in the shelves, such an inspiration. xx
MarisaI really enjoyed this workshop, it was very well paced and interesting and you end up with something very professional looking. The tutor is really clear in her instructions. The colour mixing was really focusing and pleasurable. A small group of 5 was really perfect.
Joan AshworthInformative and fun doing something we had never tried before. The group was small and informal and we had a lot of laughs. A brilliant day and would recommend this class to anyone
Susan HallSuch a fun activity! Super accessible for all skill levels and best of all you get to take your masterpiece home at the end of the session.

BariahWe made beautiful pots, great instructions, an all round good time was had by all
Alicia PilcherThe terrazzo plant pot workshop was so much fun. Fran was a great teacher giving everyone as much or as little help as they needed. It was great to be able to take the finished pot away at the end of the session. Would definitely recommend!
JoFrancesca's workshop was great and good value much more involved that I thought. She was lovely throughout we had a great day and love our pits.

Lindsay Saint-AlmeLoved this course! Fran is such a great teacher and it was such a fun afternoon :)
CodyThis was a great workshop and I had my first taste of terrazzo! I came away feeling inspired to experiment more with surface design!
Abigail TovarlozaThe jesmonite planter-making workshop with Fran was lovely - with time and attention spent at each step of the process, really clear steps and instructions, and a great atmosphere of crafting as a group! Would recommend to anyone wanting to learn a new skill, make something valued or give as a present!
Aditi SinghI had a fantastic time at the Jesomite Plant Pot workshop. Highly recommend for a fun, creative workshop. Very pleased with the end result - a lovely terrazzo plant pot!
Shona van AswegenI had so much fun on this course. It was messy so it would be nice to have a sink slightly closer to hand! But the end product is a fantastic pot to take away with you at the end of the day. One recommendation would be to have a kit available to purchase at the end of the course to create more pots at home.
Siu-Lan ChoiGreat location, and a super class. Fran was friendly and welcoming and very patient. She gave as much help as we needed but also let us make our own decisions so that the pot was very personal. Would thoroughly recommend.
SarahReally great and satisfying workshop. Felt like a great balance between something where we learnt something new and also really achieveable result. Fran was great fun and personable too. Highly, highly recommend!
DanielAmazing fun with Fran, so chilled and relaxing workshop. I went on my own - so welcoming and at the end of the workshop walked away with an amazing plant pot. 😍 recommend it.
TejGreat fun and great keepsake!
EmaadI really enjoyed the workshop! I went by myself but Francesca and the other people at the workshop were very friendly and welcoming. A lovely experience overall.
VeronicaSuch a great workshop! We didn’t expect to mix the colours ourselves, but it was such a fun experience. Francesca is very helpful and it seems impossible to leave with something you don’t love!
FayeReally fantastic workshop! Thanks Francesca!
EmilyI enjoyed the workshop so much! Francesca was incredibly helpful and generous and ran the workshop with absolute heart. Skill learned and a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon!
CandideThis is the 2d time I've done this workshop and honestly I'll be coming back again! Francesca is a great host and a fun coordinator, so you're in good hands to create your own plant pot! The group size remains quite small too so you get to socialise with the other members too. You'll come out of it having had lots fun playing with colours, energised but also kind of tempted to make some more :) Go on and give it a try!
Pauline AparicioThe best workshop I’ve been to. Francesca is so knowledgable, patient, funny and encouraging. We all made really beautiful pots and had a brilliant time making our colours. It was so nice to leave with a finished object. Cannot wait to do another workshop at Salt Studios!
RupaThis class was amazing! We had a lovely group and had such a good time (and a good laugh!). I went on my own as I was keen to try something new but it felt like I was with my mates. Francesca is so warm and welcoming and has a lovely studio full of inspiration for your project. She explained what we would be doing, talked us through the materials we’d be using and was super helpful and hands on step by step from colour mixing to casting and sanding. I had such a wonderful time and walked away with a beautiful plant pot I love! I honestly can’t recommend this workshop enough (a wonderful gift idea!).
Deborah DoidgeMy friend and I had such a fun time last night making our Terrazzo pots. Francesca is very skilled, a great teacher and just a hoot to be around. We were all chatting and cackling away as we made our pots. We’re chuffed with the finished products as well and can’t wait to go buy the plants to put in them. 100% recommend this class to anyone. Thank you so much Francesca for a lovely evening, hopefully see you soon at a market/class! X
HannahExcellent course and I'm so pleased with my pot. We had a great day with Francesca and she was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend!
Karen MurrayWorkshop was such fun , a great way to spend an evening, Francesca was lovely, interesting and passionate. Most importantly I love the pot I made!
Sara HillWe left the workshop really satisfied! A couple of hours spent having fun, being creative and making 2 really cool pots! Francesca is really friendly and explained the whole process easily and properly! The whole process of creating your own colours makes it even more special as you will be creating a unique item! Please go for it cos you'll have good time ! :)
Dan and TonyI had an amazing time! The workshop is very well organized and I can’t recommend it enough.
Iva LoukanovaBrilliant! Francesca is really friendly and an excellent teacher, and our pots came out great.

Jessie KeStewart and I loved this course. Was a lot of fun and excellent teaching! The pots were awesome!
Richard WilkinsonAmazing! Really fun few hours learning the processes and Francesca was lovely. Recommend to anyone looking for something fun to do
Clarice KennyReally fun and interesting class, learnt lots and had a fantastic plant pot at the end!
Aliyah Dunbar-HussainI really enjoyed the terrazzo pot class at Salt studios. Francesca is a great teacher, encouraging us each individually and helping us achieve the colours we were aiming for. The class took us through dying 2 different colours of terrazzo chips and then mixed that into a background pot colour. The results were great and everyone left with a really professional looking, unique pot. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would love to work with jesmonite again!
ShabbyThis was a great workshop and Francesca was an inspiring, patient and knowledgeable tutor that guided us through the process with ease. The studio is lovely and full of Francesca's work, so interesting to see the various casts at different stages of their production. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone interested in starting out in jesmonite casting.
rebecca vincentI really enjoyed the workshop and am delighted with the pot I made. Francesca was a great teacher and helped me pick out some beautiful colours to mix up. It did run over time a bit, which was not a problem for me at all, but if booking, make sure you leave a bit of extra time if you want to stay and remove your pot from the mould and sand it yourself (otherwise Francesca does this step for you and sends you the finished pot - but I really enjoyed getting that first glimpse of my pot and the colours I chose).
Gemma Bowman WongI thought the class was well prepared and set up, ready for people to get stuck in. Loved the studio space, and the various pots and plants dotted about provided inspiration. Francesca has great energy and with her knowledge of the whole process guided us assuredly all along the way. I came out with a nice plant pot that I’m very proud of. I would definitely recommend the workshop to my friends.
Katharina JoosThanks Francesca for a fabulous jesomite pot making session, that was such fun and a bonus of a beautiful pot to walk away with. Great studio and inspiring teaching. Looking forward to making some more.
Elanor JacksonLOVED this class - Francesca was so fun, patient and knowledgeable and I'm so pleased with how my pot turned out! Hugely recommend.
OrlaWould highly recommend this class - so much fun choosing and mixing colours and then making the pot!
JaniceHad a great time. Ran at the right pace, allowing everyone time to get just the right colour mixed! Left with a lovely pot...now to find the perfect plant
Jenny HickeyFrancesca was great! The workshop was really well organised, she gave clear instructions and lots of hands on advice. She answered all my questions and I came away with a lovely pot. Highly recommended!
miaMy girlfriend and I did this workshop and we had great fun. The workshop was informative, very well structured and organised. Francesca is a great tutor and we had an awesome time learning to make a terrazzo plant pot, can’t wait to see the finished article!
MarkI almost forgot to do this review but better late than never! Francesca is very friendly and a great teacher. My girlfriend and I were able to follow along easily and ended up with two beautiful looking pots at the end. Recommended for a fun date!
MarkThis workshop is a blissful couple of hours getting messy and creative, and now I'm very much looking forward to receiving my finished pot. What will it look like once out of the mould and sanded down? The suspense is killing me!
KateFrancesca is welcoming and friendly, the class was lots of fun and easy to follow. A lovely way to spend the afternoon :)
emilyAbsolutely loved the class. Francesca was so sweet and more than a good teacher, was really helpful in providing inspo for our pots and beyond. Looking forward to receiving our finished pieces!
Kimreally enjoyed the class, lovely venue, great teacher, I had fun making my pot and am happy with the results.
