  • The workshop I attended at the Ceramicists was great! Stephanie and Kevin are very professional and knowledgeable in ceramics and are always ready to help. The studio is beautiful and very comfortable. They were so kind to provide us with nibbles - overall we had a great laugh and made some beautiful pieces! Will definitely come back with more friends!
    Joy Wildmann
  • I loved the taster workshop - it was such a fun, exciting, hands-on way to try something new, and the teachers were so talented and patient. The time totally flew by.
    Lauren Mooney
  • A brilliant class. Cannot fault it. Teachers were absolutely great!
    James Davies
  • The session was extremely enjoyable, with professional but friendly teaching and an upbeat, creative atmosphere. The level of support was just right so that we all succeeded in making pots but felt that we’d learned some independent skills too. I’d strongly recommend this, and thought it was very good value for money. It was especially good to do it with someone else, so a great present.
    Elizabeth Freedman.
  • Well explained and relaxing class. It was a very well spent Saturday afternoon
    Jen
  • I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the six-week ceramics course which has been led by great teachers in a friendly and fun environment. I would highly recommend this course!
    Lizzy Tuudah
  • I absolutely loved this course. Was a highlight to my week every week. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn the basics of ceramics and you'll end up with around 6-8 pieces of your own work to take home finished and glazed at the end of it.
    Oliver Andraos
  • The course was amazing. Our teacher Lenny was lovely.
    Alice Ongaro
  • I would definitely recommend The Ceramicist to my friends and I am planning on coming back for the 12 weeks course.
    Bruna Roselli
  • Highly recommend the beginning course! I learnt a lot and had a lot of fun. The teaching is fun and really good, not too serious. The studio is good vibes!
    Rachel Munro
  • Our instructor (Lennie - apologies if I’ve spelt this wrong!) was amazing and genuinely moderated the session in the best way - chilled, easy going, creative, friendly and very helpful too. The best day!
    Dom
  • Great space, relaxed atmosphere and surprisingly good fun. (The teacher) Lenny's natural enthusiasm was infectious, and she made sure everyone walked away having achieved something. A nice introduction to pottery.
    Mahesh Patil
  • Really intimate and relaxed classes led by Some great individuals who were informative and friendly Can’t wait for the next visit :)
    Alex Dafforn
  • We attended this class as a date. The space, people, equipment and tools were all excellent. We felt comfortable and had a really enjoyable experience. It is worth arriving a few minutes early so you can work out exactly where the studio and the entrance are and get settled in before the class starts. The most difficult part was deciding what to try to make and how to decorate it. The group instruction was clear and well-structured. The class and activities moved along at a good pace so we didn't feel rushed or dawdling. Help was provided to fix mistakes and recover pieces which had started to go wrong. (I dug a whole clean through my wheel thrown piece - deftly fixed with a lump of clay.) Some individual instruction was provided, along with feedback on errors or issues. We felt able to ask questions and get sensible answers we could understand. Getting the pieces back takes a few weeks (don't have ours yet). That could be a bit better, and some more guidance (such as some clear options to choose from - make A, B, C or whatever you want, and some more examples of designs and how to achieve them would be welcome improvements - but these aren't complaints - just thinking about whether there's any way to make this taster class better.
    Gareth
  • Really great fun, got to try throwing on the wheel and hand building, had all our own equipment and the teacher was very helpful! Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of trying pottery for the first time
    Louise Manson
  • Such a fun course, and great space. Loved every session!
    Maria Jimenez
  • Very fun, relaxed session learning coiling and throwing on the wheel. The teacher was very welcoming and helpful, and I enjoyed myself thoroughly - looking forward to picking up my creations, however wonky they might be! Highly recommended.
    Jen Williams

    Jen Williams
  • Absolutely amazing six week foundation course taking you through all the main techniques. Stephanie is an incredible teacher and was very patient with all my questions. So addicted I'll now be attending more often to continue my ceramics journey. Thank you Steph and gang!
    Dominic Green
  • My classes at The Ceramicists have been really informative and enjoyable. Stephanie is a great teacher with a fun and calming presence. We learnt a range of techniques and the workshop is set up well for groups. I’d definitely recommend this course and book more classes in the future.
    Lacey
  • Amazing! Greatly recommend doing this to all ages. Very kind and supportive teachers. I am 9 and made 3 pieces I am very proud of with their help.
    Vanesa Van Vlerken
  • Really lovely intro workshop - well explained and good atmosphere. Our facilitator (Melissa?) was great and was able to gauge how much help was needed for each person and created a really calm learning environment. We were both completely new to pottery and this was a accessible and fun session.
    Becky Lund
  • The most amazing course I’ve ever attended! Not as easy as it looks, but definitely fun. Mondays turned from one of the worst days of the week to being my favourite! Stephanie has created a space for us to explore different techniques over the space of just 6 weeks, but this love for ceramics will last forever! Thanks Stephanie for being such a sensational teacher.
    Angela Vivien Dang
  • Stephanie and the team were super helpful on my taster day and sorted everything out so that we had maximum time to try the wheel and hand building.
    Murdo Moyse
  • Had a great time at this class for my wife’s birthday. Perfect for beginners and really relaxed environment. Option to have pieces delivered is also really handy. Thanks!
    Philip Hall
  • Excellent class! So fun and well organised. The studio is lovely, bright and spacious and our teacher was a total gem. Super patient & encouraging. They were also very accommodating and let our 9 year old Labrador join the class -although her lack of opposable thumbs made it difficult for her to sculpt, she enjoyed watching us. Would definitely recommend. Lovely way to try out a new hobby while supporting local artists.
    Shana Dalley
  • The class was great fun and our teacher, Melissa, was really helpful and nice. A little tight on time at the end for painting but great value for money and would definitely recommend.
    Sam Acors
  • Excellent class, great teacher and nice relaxed atmosphere. Sculpted something I was really proud of. Would strongly recommend!
    Chad Stainbank
  • Love this class - so much so that I have done it twice! Great class to try ceramics if you've never done it before; helpful instruction but overall a very chilled vibe and are left to get creative to your hearts content!
    Anna White
  • Great introduction to ceramics - very clear instructions and a great mix of help and being left to work independently.
    Rosalind Bates
  • The teachers were all very friendly and helpful, it was a fun class.
    Mary Chan
  • Had such a nice morning in this class! The ambient and music was great, and the teachers were super friendly and helpful when I had any questions.
    Diana
  • The teachers were very friendly and promoting a relaxed atmosphere but I was expecting this to be a much smaller group from the previous description of the class. There were 14 people which meant everything felt quite rushed and it wasn’t easy to ask questions or get help when needed. Overall it meant it was fun but not very relaxing.
    Jeanne
  • Was so much fun and really enjoyed getting to try pottery! Just wish it was slightly longer as felt rushed in the end :(
    Lola
  • Loved this place and my pieces, friendly staff too
    Fei Hou
  • Had a great time and felt like I was able to get help when needed. Can’t wait for my items to be delivered!
    Rebecca
  • Loved it , so much fun and made 2 great pieces , can't wait to see them fired. Will definitely go back with friends, Thanks much Steph is an expert!
    Chiara Shenoy
  • An excellent couple of hours fun and learning. Perfect for my daughter’s birthday with a couple of friends. Expertly delivered and a real taster for more.
    Maja Hilton
  • Fab! Our teacher was so kind and I love how they give us a brief but helpful lesson on pottery. Great!!
    Naomi Graffe
  • Had a great time! Lenny was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend
    Calum Knox
  • Great instructions! Even with a large group, they were on top of checking in with each of us and helping to fix any problems, such as holes in the clay.
    Ana Carpenter
  • Such a great introduction to coiling & using a wheel! Stefanie was really soothing and covered everything in the few hours, we didn’t feel rushed at all and had a great time as a family. Would highly recommend ! Excited to pick our pieces up in a few weeks.
    Caroleen
  • Really great class, learnt how to hand sculpt and throw, our instructor was lovely! All in all great experience
    Clare Green
  • stephanie was really nice, it was a great saturday!
    Sumitra Tase
  • Very fun class, highly recommend.
    Jeffrey Seow
  • It was a great experience and the wheel throwing part was absolutely magical! The instructors were really friendly and encouraging. I'll probably come back for a proper course once I save up enough money :)
    Wenjia
  • Really fun introduction to pottery. Was able to make 3 things, and the wheel was the most fun. Team was very helpful, friendly and capable of teach us. Only slight neg is there were more people than anticipated, but did not affect class just space to move around. Recommend it!
    DL
  • Had a wonderful time! Would absolutely recommend!
    MC
  • Had such a great time! Would highly recommend. Will definitely go again
    James Meija
  • I had such a great time! The class was easy, relaxing and allowed you to let your creativity shine. Lennie was a fantastic teacher, on hand for even the silliest of questions. It was a great way to truly switch off from the world and focus on making a pot, mug, vase or anything you felt like that day. I would recommend this class so much! You won’t be disappointed :)
    Chanelle Andrews
  • My friends and I had a really great time at the pottery class. A few of us were late due to transport issues but Lenny and Stephanie were really accommodating and helpful. You can make anything you want and you also get to throw clay, so you make two pieces. Great vibes, cool music, I would definitely recommend!
    Bami Jolaoso
  • The session was lots fun. Had a lot of freedom to make what we wanted and had some really good direction from the teachers. Would recommend!
    Charlie Winefield
  • An excellent taster class including hand moulding with coiling and wheel throwing - came away with three pieces, even with time to paint them! The team were super friendly and helped save many a pottery fail, thanks again for a great afternoon!
    Lucy
  • I really enjoyed the 6 weeks ceramics course and getting to try out various techniques how to create something out of clay. I liked an element of surprise in the end when trying to find my pieces after glazing, as the colours turn out completely different than expected! Furthermore I discovered a lot of new music while being on course and had fun and got inspiration from all in the group. If you are in doubt, just sign up and give it a go!:-)
    Kristina L
  • Excellent workshop with attentive teachers.
    Natalie Godec
  • The class was good, Lenny was very attentive and a great teacher to be around. Had a lot of fun with the clay and both teachers were really helpful with the practical side of the classy. The only thing lacking was towards the end, as the class didn't feel as though it was rounded up. No telling us what would happen with the ceramics we made, no explanation of the next processes or why we were not able to take our work away. Other than that really good fun
    Cher
  • Steph and Lenny are really great at delivering the perfect balance of instruction, advice, teaching, support, a sense of humour; and knowing when to leave you to your own devices and create. The class was fun, inspiring, collaborative, mellow and the flow throughout the two hours was great. Enough time to learn, create, feel proud and then want to return already! Whether you have some experience, or none at all, you will be looked after and will walk away having made something to be proud of for sure.
    Leo Thomas
  • had an excellent time in the class and was surprised by how much we managed to do in 2 hours
    Katy de Main
  • The workshop was extremely fun, entertaining and informative and the hosts were patient, helpful and extremely friendly. All around, it was an amazing experience, 10/10 recommend it :)
    Beatriz E.
  • Had the most lovely time with my partner! I had zero experience in the field, yet because of the super welcoming and amazing instructors, I managed to create something of my own. It was a beautiful and relaxed time at the studio, hopefully, we will have a chance to visit again! 10/10
    Brigita Paskeviciute
  • fun class, everyone was v friendly and helpful!!
    Tim Salinger
  • Me and my wife took the taster course and absolutely loved it! Stephanie is a great teacher and the space has a really wonderful atmosphere. Can’t wait to see what we made!
    Sam Moorhouse
  • My friends and I went for a pottery taser session. The teachers were very helpful and made the session lots of fun. I only wish the session was longer because it went by quickly.
    Danielle Osei-Boateng
  • So much fun!
    Clotilde Bayle
  • Really fun afternoon - the group size was perfect such that you could get individual instruction, but it wasn’t overbearing. Would highly recommend!
    Anonymous

    Jamie Chow
  • Stephanie was helpful, caring and calming. Once my confidence grew over a few classes, she was laid back and happy to let me get on. I would recommend this class to anyone who wants a chilled evening of learning new skills.
    Lauren
  • The session was lots of fun and Stephanie was very warm and friendly. I am excited to see how my vase turns out!
    Esther
  • The class was only my partner and I with the teacher so it was very personal. She was very happy for us to get creative with our pots and provided the right amount of guidance. We managed to create 3 plant pots each and had tons of fun!
    Judith
  • Fantastic in every sense. Perfect teaching skills and the class in general is just so much fun. Highly recommended.
    Carina
  • Such a great workshop! Stephanie is a patient, kind and inspiring teacher! It is a lovely way how to get introduced to a wonderful world of ceramics! Plus you can always stay a little bit longer ( for a little extra fee) if you need a bit extra time to finish off your work! The workshop is held in a cosy studio where you can play and get creative!
    Viktorija
  • Really enjoyed class. Was able to make quite a large pot in time allocated. Looking forward to seeing what it will look like when glazed! 4 people in class which was a good number so enough attention to everybody. Considering doing one of their other classes.
    Anjum
  • Great fun to make ceramics gifts and improve my hand skills in the session. Stephanie is very informative and made everything seems easy.
    Ian Wall
  • It was fun experience and I really enjoy it!
    Joe
  • The teacher was very informative and attentive to all our needs. The space we worked in was a lovely cosy space comfortably fitting 15-20 pupils which is good if groups of friends want to attend together. Being inside the studio with Stephanie felt like the best parts of being back at school where life was more carefree and relaxed!
    Karsan Haval
  • A great day spending time in a professional studio environment. Filled with their commissions and personal works, it's an amazing place to learn. Both Kevin and Stephanie were super friendly and very hands on in helping me create my pot! I learned a lot about different types of clay, the best techniques to build in coil and even got to see all the different types of glazes that they use. They teach you everything you need to know about hand building and are really great in making sure you're on the right track. We even extruded the clay, which is satisfying to say the least! I will definitely be back again.
