Lovely- helpful staff and very relaxing as an activity! Loved it.

I love this place. It is the best post work wind down. Great people to give you as much (or little) advise, help or encouragement as you want. Good vibe and enough equipment to keep learning new things. Give it a try.

Loved it and will go again. Staff are lovely, helpful & encouraging!

Lovely staff & atmosphere. Many different types of techniques to try out too.

Lovely workshops & lovely helpful and supportive staff!

Very informative and personalised session, tutor was patient and helpful, warm and positive learning environment, would highly recommend.

Had so much fun glazing the pots I made last week. Didn't get to do mosaic - maybe next year!

A great afternoon! Everyone was super friendly and helpful, although it's in a bit of an awkward location I'd definitely recommend to anyone looking to have a fun afternoon getting your hands dirty!

I bought this workshop as a birthday gift for my mother. She didn’t think she would be any good at it and therefore was very apprehensive about the session. She was pleasently surprised and we both enjoyed everything from start to finish. Our tutor Emily was so patient and helpful. Needless to say we will be back for more.

Thanks for the informative workshop!

Teacher explained really well all the techniques and outcomes. Love it!

Everyone is very helpful and the class has a great atmosphere.

A wonderful atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff. It's the highlight of my week.

I had a fabulous first workshop! It was so friendly and a very calm relaxed atmosphere. I also managed to make two pots, which I was not expecting.I am looking forward to the next workshop and cannot praise Sorsha, Mike & Jos for their help on the day.

My first time here and very much enjoying the course. The staffing level is great. Always someone on hand to help with queries and s. The staff are very hands on and incredibly approachable. I take my 8 year old child with me and she can be a handful, but the staff are fabulous with her.

I am thoroughly enjoying the pottery & mosaic evening class held at Workshop 305. It has been a revelation to have access to a variety of pottery forms and complete creative freedom, with assistance on hand when required. A great group of people with huge imaginations.

Fantastic!

This is my third booking for this session. There is a good balance of people doing mosaics and Pottery. The teachers are very approachable and helpful. Materials in abundance and lots of good company. Very enjoyable (from a complete novice!).

Fantastic environment for all levels - both for pottery and mosaics. Lovely informal classes - with help and advice always available.

I have been going to this pottery and mosaics workshop for two years now and I absolutely love it. The teachers are amazing, very knowledgeable and lovely people. I couldn't recommend this workshop more highly.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this class. The teachers are supportive, approachable and very knowledgeable. the group is friendly and mostly made of those who come back again and again, term after term. Highly recommended.

Absolutely brilliant workshop.

I have now completed 3 terms at the Pottery & Mosaic class, and I’m hooked! The tutors are so adorable, helpful but not overpowering. It is such a creative environment with people of all abilities. As soon as you arrive you clear your head and get your hands dirty. I absolutely love it!

Workshop305 Excellent facilities and very good tutors. Friendly atmosphere. Also if the class supports people with learning difficulties or physical difficulties, it's even better as the photographs and evidence of work by them is brilliant.

lovely people and great, relaxed atmosphere. Great for all experience levels

Joined for last 3 week of course and found the mosaic workshop really interesting. Hope to get back to finish project on the next course. The personnel who were available for the mosaics and pottery were very friendly and the course was held in a venue that had a lot of interesting projects going on.

Love the pottery & mosaic course at Workshop 305. I’m completely addicted. The tutors are so helpful and inspiring always so encouraging as are the group.

I really this course. Very informal and relaxing. the staff are great, approachable and knowledgeable. You can pretty much get on with what you want and ask for advice or you take guidance if you are out of ideas. I've learnt so much in a very short time.

Last Pottery & Mosaic evening class, I will really miss it. But signed up for September and planning my next project. It’s a great class and lovely tutors. Try taster session.

I‘ve been doing this amazing pottery and mosaics class for nearly 3 years now and I absolutely love it. The tutors are very knowledgeable and incredibly lovely and I’ve learned a lot of stuff to do with how to make pots and mostly how to create great mosaics. I highly recommend it.

I am addicted. I really enjoy the complete freedom to create. Workshop 305 have great facilities and the tutors are very knowledgeable. I can’t give it up.

Lovely studio, great resources, really helpful staff and have met some great friends.

Now on my second year and it continues to be the highlight of my week!

Lovely! I had a really relaxing and creative time. All the staff are really friendly and helpful. Facilities and equipment were just right and tea and biscuits, a very welcome extra!

The taster session was brilliant. The studio is really relaxed and welcoming. You can have a try at anything and the tutors give you all the guidance you need. Would really recommend

My wife and I both really enjoyed it. It was a friendly and relaxed environment. The teachers gave you guidance and some space to experiment. Their enthusiasm and love of clay was apparent and it made us enjoy it even more. Thank you.

I had a great time - 5 stars!

I really enjoyed it. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

Awesome pottery session. Extremely helpful team, fabulous materials and equipment. Wholly recommend.

Very creative , inspiring and relaxed atmosphere, friendly people.The only reason I am giving 4 stars is because of the location-industrial zone, it was a bit scary in the darkness to get there.And one tip-have an idea what do you want to create, at least kind of idea. After all WORTH IT!

Absolutely brilliant time with obby. Myself and my wife decided to try out some pottery and it was fantastic, really got stuck in, got to try wheel throwing and even managed to do some moulds. Really impressed and happy to go again any time.

We had a great time getting to know the different techniques in pottery. The staff was super friendly and made us feel relaxed.

Loved the pottery taster session! Our tutor Sorcha was lovely and very friendly! I really enjoyed being able to try out the wheel, looking forward to glaze the pottery in our next taster session!! :)

Nice spacious and homely workshop. Very friendly staff!

Another great session where we did the glazing of our small pots from the first session. It would have been even better if we had been given a few samples beforehand as example to get some ideas on different ways how to glaze. Overall, really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and it was real fun! Will be signing up for the pottery course!

The Pottery Mosaic Taster session was great.They very kindly listened to what I wanted to do and guided me to all the materials and gave me help and suggestions when ever I asked.It is run in a large room with lots going on and people of every age which mean there is a lovely community spirit.It is rare to see people of so many different ages working alongside one another to be creative.Thank you I will now be doing the whole 10 weeks

Great experience, great teachers, all round great experience. Highly recommend

This was a great session! The atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly and we were given the opportunity to try lots of techniques. It’s a great way to try out pottery and mosaic to see if you want to sign up for a full course!

The mosaic taster was so interesting that I shall be joining hopefully the last three weeks of the course. There are many interesting projects to begin and there are piles of mosaics and tiles to make your imagination go wild! Having already had a taster session for Pottery I was able to find my fired work and get it glazed. What a friendly place to have a go and the tutors are very helpful.

Although the place was difficult to find, the atmosphere and teachers were great! Emily helped us a lot with throwing on the wheel and we really enjoyed our time! Looking forward to coming back to do glazing

So relaxed and wonderful!

Loved this taster session. Pottery is lots of fun & the team are all so friendly. If you would like to try the potters wheel then book this taster session today! Thank you!

Great fun, Glad I have learned Pottery, Cannot wait to be back!

Lovely places, lovely staff. They were so helpful and let us be as creative as we wanted. Definitely going back!

It was an amazing experience, enjoyed a lot, nice friendly people in a place what reminds me for my kindergarten back in a days... I highly recommend to Everyone, specially if you want to relax your mind and escape from our running “everyday-life”... Hope to go back soon! :)

This was a fantastic activity for us as a family, we loved every minute of it and made some new pots and animals to take home. All the teachers were amazing and so friendly and patient with my over excited children. Can't wait to go back

What a great class to learn what can be done with clay. Learnt how to make an animal and also turned out a bowl on the Potter's wheel with a lot of help. The staff were very helpful and it was very interesting to see what everybody else made.

Great teachers, wonderful space and great new skills learnt. Thank you!!

My son with complex needs very much enjoyed attending Hey Clay this past weekend. The leaders there were all very encouraging and geared their input to my son's abilities nicely. I will look out for further workshops in the future. Thanks very much!

Took my friend to the Hey Clay! Workshop. He has Down’s Syndrome and a visual/hearing impairment. He absolutely loved the session and was very skilled at the potter’s wheel, which was unexpected and amazing!!! His parents were delighted to hear about his skills and that he had such a fun filled and fantastic day! We are looking forward to returning for a glazing session in the future. A BIG thumbs up from us!!! Raz and Bex
