Patrick gave us a good opportunity to familiarise ourselves with the potter's wheel. It wasn't just a class to play around with clay, but was jam-packed with life lessons, funny anecdotes and insightful knowledge on the history of pottery and the materials involved. Patrick was incredibly friendly and great company.
RezI booked the class for my daughters and myself and we all enjoyed the pottery class . Patrick was very attentive .
GPatrick is a brilliant teacher who is very patient. Really enjoyed the time making pots and getting some background on what pottery is all about. The time flew by. At the end I could choose two of the pots to be glazed and fired. Very pleased about that! Well worth it!
petroPatrick is an excellent patient teacher and will show you exactly how to throw a pot and help with your technique in a hands on way, he’s also a great ceramic artist with many fantastic of his own work in the lovely bright studio - I felt encouraged and inspired. Laura
LauraPatrick is a superb teacher and we really enjoyed making the pots and beakers on the wheel. Highly recommended. We will be coming back for more sessions!
Charles MayWe had such a wonderful time during our lesson on Sunday. Patrick was a fantastic teacher, he explained techniques very clearly and answered any questions we had. He was also very friendly and we had a great time chatting, the time flew by! Thrilled with the results of the lesson and can’t wait to pick up our creations! Thank you Patrick!
DaisyOverall, an amazing experience from start to finish. You are introduced to the history behind the wheel and Patrick's experiences across his life so far. You get tuition throughout the class and learn multiple techniques on the wheel. I would recommend Patricks class to anyone, I do not think you would find a better class for the money.
Jack KnoxPatrick is a great artist and delivered a fantastic experience working with the clay. I bought this as a gift for my partner and we both loved it
Alkiviadis ZaganiarisPatrick was an excellent teacher and the session was really great. With a focus on correct technique Patrick's great teaching enabled me to throw two lovely pots and a bowl. I feel confident I am able to practice the techniques moving forward and I will look to book additional courses with Patrick.
MaxI took my partner to Patrick's throwing on the potters wheel class for their birthday, and had an amazing time! He was accommodating, friendly and an amazing teacher, sharing with us anecdotes as well as interesting facts (like the origin of the word porcelain!) We produced really great work, if I do say so myself(!), I can't wait to go back and pick them up!
DesreeA really good afternoon with Patrick on the wheel, thank you!
Jim SherriffThis pottery throwing class was absolutely brilliant! Patrick was great at explaining the technique and struck a really good balance of providing support and guidance but also allowing us to just have a go! It was a class for 2 and we each had plenty of time on the wheel and came away with 3 beautiful pots which Patrick glazed (2 pots each are included and the 3rd was a little bit extra). A really fantastic class and my mum and I have definitely been inspired to do more pottery thanks to Patrick.
BethanMyself and my husband has such a fantastic time learning how to use a Potters Wheel for the first time. Such a brilliant, patient teacher - it was a joy to be creative with the clay. Highly recommend.
AnastasiaI booked this class to improve my technique and found Patrick patient and knowledgeable. I will definitely return when I need the next step forward…
LuExcellent session with Patrick who is wonderfully knowledgeable! I am glad I opted for a one-to-one as this gave me lots of practice in this lovely studio. Highly recommended.
AlicePatrick's warmth and kindness made us feel exceptionally welcomed through the class. As a novice and first-timer on the wheel Patrick expertly guided us through the process and allowed us to really feel like we were learning what to do. He struck the perfect balance of guiding and teaching while giving us the freedom to do it alone as well. We made some lovely pieces and It made for a fantastic day. The length of the class is generous and you don't feel rushed in the slightest. I couldn't recommend this class enough and would happily do it again and recommend it to friends.
BenAn amazing class for me and my mum - booked as part of a Mother’s Day present. Patrick was so patient and an excellent teacher, really explaining everything and ensuring we both produced some beautiful pieces to take home. A great introduction to throwing on the wheel, I would highly recommend this class to anyone with an interest in starting or learning more about pottery! Thank you!
FloraI had such a great time learning pottery on the wheel. Patrick is such a great teacher, I left the class itching to do more.
ChantelThis is the second time I book this class, very enjoyable and I highly recommend it to those wanting to have a go at the plotters wheel and walk away having made something!
Veronica GarciaHad a great time on the beginner's pottery session. It was a good balance of being shown what to do and starting to try the techniques myself. Looking forward to seeing what I made!
Helen WilsonFun and informative class. The teacher was very encouraging and gave clear instruction. I feel like I learnt some great skills for the wheel. I would recommend this class for those who are new to using the wheel as we were given a lot of one to one help and guidance.
Becky MesserThe class was excellent. Such a calm and skilled tutor who gently helped improve my technique and confidence. The studio was lovely and cosy and the atmosphere really relaxed. I can’t wait to collect my pots and to spend some more time on the wheel. Thanks so much!
Sophie EustaceWhat a fantastic afternoon we had! Learnt so much and managed somehow, probably more to do with Patrick, to make something we will be able to take home! Very patient and good at teaching! We will be back for another course!
LaurenAmazing class for beginners on the wheel. We were only two people plus the teacher for a wheel. He was at all times helping and giving advice. I recommend it 100%
Antonio Tejado-SanchezWe had a lovely, informative and tactile afternoon with Patrick. He was so generous with his knowledge and enthusiasm. Can’t wait to see the finished results.
Susanna WalkerSuch a fun class and so hands on! You get a great experience one on one and learn some great techniques. Highly recommend
NemaGreat teacher; I achieved far more in two and a half hours than I ever imagined was possible. A very good introduction to throwing clay. Can't wait to collect my fired and glazed work!
NikkiFantastic! I really enjoyed the class, I was very impressed with what I was able to achieve on the potters wheel and Patrick's approach to the lesson. Can't wait to pick up my pots......and have more lessons!
Veronica GarciaWe had a wonderful time! Patrick was fab! Really patient, knowledgeable and passionate about pottery. After 2 years of wanting a go on the wheel, it was everything and more!
Lebo MotjuoadiVery informative and hands on. I really enjoyed the class and would recommend
Tilly LowkisPatrick was brilliant - enthusiastic and knowledgeable as well as a great teacher. I brought this as an anniversary gift and we both had a great time!
Christopher KernahanA really good fun visit and I have also encourages my daughters and partners to have a go
Joanna NeillFantastic class. Very hands on and practical. Plenty of time spent on the wheel itself.
Thea CrawshawI bought this as a gift for me and my mum. We had a fantastic time with Patrick. He was informative, patient and a great teacher who was very fun and had a lovely personality. Would definitely do this again and recommend to others.
MaraI ha d a fantastic time with Paul. I would recommend to anyone. He is a brilliant teacher!
Charlie IbbettWonderful experience! Wanted to try this for a long time so I decided to book a session alone. Patrick is really passionate about pottery and you can understand it immediately by the way he talks about it and the immense knowledge he has The session is very intensive and since there's max 2 people attending you really have the time to learn a lot and have Patrick's guidance at every step. We created 4 pots each, of which 2 we'll collect once ready. Can't wait to see the results and definitely recommend this experience to everyone. Will probably come back again to try the coiling technique instead of throwing on the wheel! :) If you're hesitant, think no more and just book it!
Giulia AA great course for beginning potters wanting to learn to use the wheel. Patrick is a very patient, and an excellent teacher. A friend and I had tried throwing previously and failed, but with guidance from Patrick, both of us got the hang of it in under 2 hours. The class was relaxed, fun, and the time flew by! We will definitely be booking in for more Pottery classes with Patrick.

HelenBrilliant teacher, learnt so much, and can't wait to pick up our finished pots!
JoshuaThe two of us had a fantastic afternoon learning the basics of using the Potters' Wheel with Patrick. Booked the class to try something different and we had an excellent time. We're beginners but Patrick was extremely knowledgable and a great teacher so wouldn't hesitate to recommend to more serious potters. Humour clearly suitable for potters of all abilities.
AngusMy 11 year old and I really enjoyed it. Came out very happy with what we had accomplished.
EmmaMy husband and I really enjoyed this workshop. It was just the two of us and Patrick was so thorough in teaching us and making sure we were able to make some beautiful pots. We would thoroughly recommend it!
JemGreat class with Paddy in his charming studio.
jessicaPatrick is a great teacher for an introductory course on the wheel. A small intimate class seemed to be the right choice, as we got his full attention. Had a good laugh, thank you Patrick!!
JessiePatrick was an excellent teacher and made sure we had plenty of time to work with the clay on the wheel. Our pots came out really well in the end. Great fun and highly reccomended!
JameaI had a fantastic experience with Patrick, who is an excellent teacher. The small class size (only one or two people) makes it a much more personalised experience, as Patrick talks you through the whole process, which was great for a total novice like me. I would highly recommend this experience!
JontyPartick was a brilliant tutor - very patient, kind and good fun. Would highly recommend
AddyPatrick was such an amazing instructor – giving us all the necessary basic skills to start us on our pottery journey: in our case introducing us to the wheel and training us to making our first pots on our own. Patrick is clearly a highly skilled potter and is enthusiastic to share his knowledge. The studio was perfectly kitted out for the session, with examples of work displayed, all tools available and great quality clay. I would highly recommend Patrick’s course for all – from explorer to experts.
JoshuaHad a great time, Patrick was very helpful and informative....recommend highly
FannyReally enjoyed this class which I booked as a Birthday present for my girlfriend and I. We were shown each stage in detail and nothing was rushed, so we could relax and actually make some really nice pieces! Nice bright studio, would be interested in some of the other classes here. Very excited to pick the pots up in a few weeks!
