We absolutely loved this class and would totally recommend! Mandisa was great, she gave us a little demo and instruction but mostly let us get on with it, but was always around to help and give us some handy tips. I found the booking process on here to be a bit confusing but Mandisa’s communication is great and things were sorted quickly. We can’t wait to see how our work turns out! Thanks so much for this!
GigiThis was a great workshop for a first introduction to Pottery. It was relaxed yet you are given all the instructions and support to create your first item of pottery. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it!
SarahFabulous, brilliant and wonderful! Great afternoon with my daughter. Thank you!
PatriciaFun and therapeutic. The class had a relaxed and free-flowing atmosphere. Mandisa had the knowledge and the tools to help me bring my ideas to life. Overall, a great introduction to working with ceramics and a pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
ToboreWorks shop was fantastic fun , with great instruction ! Looking forward to seeing the finished products
MarkSuch a great workshop - we learnt so much from Mandisa and it was a really nice space and atmosphere in the class. Even if the pots started to go a little wrong she was very attentive and helped us bring it back. It was really fun doing the moulding and then glazing - such good value. Can't wait to pick up our bowls!
AyeGreat taster session. Mandisa was so welcoming and made you feel very relaxed as soon as you arrived. We had total freedom over what we wanted to make, and she was there to offer advice. We cant wait to see the final product and we are looking at doing some drop in sessions.
NatashaWe had the best time a couple of weeks back, a really great class which was very well taught. The instructions were clear and if things didn't go quite to plan for whatever reason then we had another go! It was fun and relaxed and we'd highly recommend it.

Michela DamoneI brought my 8 year old nephew with me and he asked "can we go every Sunday?" . I think that says it all. Great class in a relaxed atmosphere with a very patient teacher.
Cheryl & KKMy partner and I had so much fun at Mandisa's workshop. There were six of us there, so there was plenty of opportunity to chat about what we were doing and learn from each other as we tried different techniques. Mandisa is a great teacher, the class had a really relaxed and welcoming vibe. The content was accessible, nothing super technical, just getting to grips with the materials and the fundamental hand-building techniques. Having time to decorate our pieces at the end was a brilliant finishing touch. I fully recommend if you are curious about pottery or just want to try something new.
Helen VicaryLoved the class! A really relaxed, fun and informative session
Kitty McDonaldGreat class, with good balance of teaching and letting us make something interesting ourselves. Hope to return!
Donald BogleWonderful experience and lovely tutor Mandisa. Haven’t picked up bowl yet but no matter how it turns out I loved the session and will definitely go back. Nice chilled vibe and relaxing atmosphere (fully forget your in an ex-car park. If you get the chance have a go!
Isha McCullochWe had a great time, learnt so much and it was really fun!
Rachel RansleyBoth of us thoroughly enjoyed our taster session!! The tutor Mandisa was really patient and we both finished the session with something we can take home and cherish. Thank you and we plan to go along again to see what other creations we can make and cherish
Karen and Syra KnightThe course was excellent. Mandisa guided us throughout the session and I learnt a lot. I have already recommended the workshop to my friends.
Louise HerculesMandisa was absolutely great and she ran a fantastic workshop! We had an amazing session and we will absolutely be back for more!
Jacob WillisIt was a great workshop, lots of fun and really helpful. I cannot wait to pick up the finished piece!
Laura SaundersReally great experience. I was a beginner and Mandisa was incredibly kind and patient with me. She helped me make two pieces, a bowl and a plate, intervened when necessary but was also careful not to alter my original idea or construction. She has an incredible energy and great talent, which she finds a way of sharing with the rest of the class. I recommend this class to anyone who wants a chill (and relaxingly productive!) Sunday afternoon.
AnonymousThis was a great introduction into the world of clay work. Mandisa was great and her knowledgeable and friendly approach to teaching really made it fun. I recently picked up the piece I made and was very happy with it! I'll definitely be back again.
SoniaGreat introduction session, I'm in love with ceramic now!
RobinSuper fun! Super crafty, Mandisa was extremely friendly and would love to come back for longer courses
RIKOMandisa was fabulous and very patient with all our requests. My friend and I each had 2 very different things we wanted to make and gave us even more clay when we run out of it. It was generally a very friendly environment having a conversation with Mandisa about her work, techniques and workshops. It was an inspiring and definitely crafty session and made me want to come back for sure.

RichardMy husband and I loved this class! The class was really enjoyable, super hands on which we liked and the teacher gave us great guidance and advice throughout- would 100% recommend!
SarahVery relaxing time and was guided through various techniques clearly and patiently. Would definitely recommend and go myself again.
SamanthaI really enjoyed this class. Mandisa was very welcoming and helpful without being overbearing. I liked the loose structure that allowed one to play. There was still someone experienced there to instruct when necessary.
AmySuch a great way to spend a Sunday evening, which for me can often be filled with Monday anxiety and boring work prep. Mandisa was welcoming, easy-going and clearly super talented. She whizzed through a really helpful demo before letting us get on with our own work. She had loads of tips, ideas and suggestions - and was really great at explaining the processes. The hand building was challenging but very therapeutic and I cant recommend it enough to anyone wanting to give clay work a go. Thanks so much Mandisa! Katie x
KatieGreat workshop with a lovely teacher. Learned the basic techniques for hand building with the freedom to make whatever you fancy. Thanks!
IndiaMandisa was lovely, helpful and the class was so much fun! Can't wait to pick our pieces up!
MirandaAbsolutely brilliant time was had by all 6 of us during this class. Mindisa was a fab teacher and also lovely to spend our Sunday afternoon with. Mindisa was super knowledgeable and very patient with us as well! The 6 of us chose the class (as complete beginners!) for a chilled sunday afternoon experimenting and learning a new skill. However, I'd say that the class would be suitable for all levels of experience and whatever the occasion, whether it be a birthday celebration, Hen party, or to acquire a new/ more advanced skill.
KateWe did this for a company social and had a great time! We were all beginners but Mandisa walked us through and helped with everything.
DaisyThis workshop was so much fun! A big group of us came and all had a great time - it was really well organised, we got given a tonne of help and she put up with us asking a million questions. Loved it x
