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.

I attended a introduction to pottery workshop just before Christmas. It was a lot fun. The class size was small and intimate which meant plenty of time to get on the wheel and moulding. We were taught some great techniques for both the wheel and moulding. The teachers were patient, friendly, made the class and even let us rest our arms with a midway tea and biscuit break

Really enjoyed the session - it felt like a nice balance of being able to try different things with the clay, plus between being supported by the staff and left to your own devices.
Ellie

Lovely friendly staff, very welcoming. The venue was easy to find and very interesting to look around all the good work they do there. I bought the taster session as a present for my partner and wasn't expecting to enjoy it so much myself, we are now going to book the next session to glaze the bits we made on the evening.

Having never made pottery before we didn’t know what to expect, the team in Wimbledon made us all very welcome and explained what we could do , taking the time to help /guide us with our pieces. Would of liked more time to use the wheel , but it just means we will have to go back .

It was a relaxing and fun session. I'm so glad this was gifted to me as a bday present. The session was well organised and the teachers were very patient and quick to come to your aid if they see you struggling. We were able to try a couple of pottery techniques in one session, throwing and molding which was a great use of time. The only think I would say is I wish we had more time on the throwing wheel because it was so much fun. Will definitely be signing up for the glazing session.

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!

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 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.

Really loved this session. The workshop is calming and lots of fun stuff to look at around the walls. Working in a corporate office but being quite arty at heart, I really loved being here for a few hours. It is so calm, after the running around I do daily in my job! Very much considering doing a full course as I enjoyed it so much
The girls at the workshop are all very nice and know their stuff. Great teachers, and very patient.
Went through techniques such as:
- pottery on the wheel
- hand building with different techniques
- using moulds
- using stamps to pattern the clay
I wll be returning to Glaze, very soon - and discuss full courses.
Thanks team,
Sam

The Pottery Taster Session was brilliant, my girlfriend and I had a great time! The people running it were lovely, funny and helpful. It was exciting to learn a new skill, and a good laugh when it didn't go quite to plan on the wheel. We can't wait to come back and glaze our creations :)

I had a great time at this workshop! I was late arriving as I'd gotten a little lost on the way. I called up and spoke to Kerry, who was really lovely and offered to come and pick me up. I was a bit nervous at first as the class had already started but Saoirse made me feel very welcome and started filling me in on what I'd missed. I made 3 pieces and had a go at throwing clay on the wheel, which as great fun! It was such a fun evening, I can't wait to go back a do a glazing session. I would thoroughly recommend this place for anyone who likes to get creative and fancies trying out pottery! I will be recommending it to friends!

The venue was wonderfully laid out displaying art for sale made by others who attend the venue. Easy parking.
The teachers were lovely; patient and knowledgeable and made us feel welcomed.
It was a birthday gift to me and we learnt a number of things during our two hour lesson including using the potters wheel.
We enjoyed ourselves so much we booked onto the glazing class to decorate what we made.

Absolutely loved the course, I’ve always wanted to try a pottery class so was delighted when I was given a gift voucher for Christmas and I wasn’t disappointed. The teachers are extremely helpful and very patience. Not only do you get the opportunity to create your own clay masterpieces you get to have a go on the pottery wheel, which I found very therapeutic. I can’t wait to go back and glaze my pieces. Thank you.

Afra Cory

I learnt how to throw on the wheel which was great fun and also how to mould the clay into any shape! The teachers were AMAZING. Caroline (I think!) was so encouraging on the wheel and explained it in a way which made sense and the Irish lady (I'm not even going to attempt to spell her name) was excellent at showing how to use the moulds and make whatever shapes we wanted. She was also hilarious! The venue was lovely and spacious and loved all of the work that was displayed around the place, including the giant whale!

Venue was perfect, plenty of space & equipment, a fourth wheel would of meant more time to experiment. Both teachers were very patient & helped without being condescending.We learnt how to create & had fun .only criticism is a schedule for a shared amount of time on the wheel would be a good idea.

After initial difficulties to find the venue, the pottery taster session at Workshop 305 was a fun experience! I had never done pottery before so I was grateful for the helpful introduction and tips. We had the opportunity to do both throwing on the wheel and creating our very own pottery. The tutors were very helpful and patient at all times.

Great class,
Workshop 305 was a great place to go and get an introduction into pottery.
After a long time of wanting to do a course this was the best way for me to decide to splash out and do a full course.
The girls that took the class gave good clear instructions and helped all the way.
Looking forward to returning and glazing my pieces soon.

Aneela
11 Jul
The session was incredible, I learned a lot in the short time we had and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I will definitely be back for more classes.
My only feedback is it would have been nice if the teacher was a bit more encouraging and engaging with the students e.g. going around and checking work and offering help, ideas etc. As I would’ve liked to take advantage of her experience and creativity a bit more. Her explanations and showing of techniques in the beginning was very informative and helpful however.
Overall a lovely and unique way to spend an evening.

Very good intro to pottery making - we made one piece on the wheel and a number using other techniques. Excited to see (and glaze!) the final products!

the working space had a very relaxed, easy atmosphere and I felt free to be creative whilst also receiving helpful advice from the teachers. the class offered a wide array of skills to learn that gave me the opportunity to expand my ability and develop better technique. Throwing on the wheel was the highlight of the session for me, however, it was more restricting in terms of creativity, as it demands more confidence, which comes with practice. overall it was a very enjoyable experience, would recommend to all ages. it left me wanting more and I am excited to return and glaze my pots and see how they turned out.

It was a great class, and I got to make 4 coasters, a bowl and a pot on the wheel throwing. Overal a fun, therapeautic clas with knowledgable teachers.
Would recommend highly - I have even booked my glazing class too.

Nice place, nice people. But I was hoping to spend much more time at the wheel. Only about 15 minutes was spent on the wheel.

We thoroughly enjoyed the pottery session and the instructors were great. The time flew by, but we had enough time to get a good taste of both hand building and throwing. Would definitely recommend the class.

I have always wanted to have a go at the pottery wheel, this gave me the chance too. I really enjoyed it, it helped by having such lovely teachers. The teachers answered all our questions and gave very good instructions. With the instructions on how to get there, it was easy to find. The hospitality was amazing and the studio was big and spacious.

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

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

Wonderful session at Workshop 305 - it was great to learn the pinch pot technique to create my animal, which was a hedgehog. The staff are very encouraging (I’m very new to pottery) and I really enjoyed the session. I’d highly recommend the workshop!

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!

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.

I've made a number of lovely things on this course using a potters wheel, moulds and constructing. I've struggled a bit with the glazing, but the staff are always on hand to help so I need to make more of this when I'm glazing in future. I've recently attending with my 10 year old daughter and she loves the course. she's always made some rather lovely things too. The guys there support her really well and are particularly motivational.

I've booked this course on and off for about a year and half. The class is a nice nix of new and regular attenders. The teaching staff have remained constant over this time and are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. In terms of ceramics I've used the wheel, I've made a number of cups, plates and bowls using a wide range of ready made plaster moulds and I've created stuff from scratch. Lots of support and advice on hand throughout the workshop.

I really enjoyed my 7 weeks at 305. I had some previous experience but was keen to try the wheel. I managed to make a few things with expert guidance from Mike. The other staff are knowledgable, friendly and helpful and ready to answer questions and help you improve your work. I'd recommend this course if you want to improve and are self motivated in what you are making.

I did Mosaics with Joss and received so much personal attention and professional guidance. Plus all important encouragement when I was waning as I had chosen to do a really big project even though I am a novice. I will be joining again to get on with what I have started. It is a relaxed atmosphere and the highlight of my week!

I've attended this course for a year and a half. I'm really enjoying it. So much to learn and great support on hand to help when you need.
The ratio of teachers to learners is good. Usually around 3 for 16 students. Everyone works independently and makes what they want. There are potters wheels, plaster mould and all sort of glazes and under glazes to try.
