REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS

IVANA STARKOVA

Had absolutely fantastic class today with Hannah. She is so passionate and incredibly patient. As a complete novice I managed to throw 2 bowls and I am so glad I had such a fantastic experience. Highly recommend.

DAMIAN WILSON

We had a brilliant time learning both hand building and potter's wheel techniques. Hannah was very kind and patient with us. The Clayhouse is set in a lovely part of Oxford too, with plenty of places to eat, adding to a fun day out. Highly recommended!

CATHY AVEYARD

Had a great time trying the hand building and the potting wheel with four friends for our Christmas get together. Hannah is patience itself, it was so much fun and we laughed a lot. Even though we were novices Hannah guided us step by step to help us produce something we could collect later after glazing. Really worth trying and we will come again.

THEO HUSSEY

Attended a taster wheel session, great experience, highly recommended. Looking forward to collecting our bowls.
