Dave Cooke reviewed: Beginners Pottery Day Course

"A superb experience due to Matt's excellent teaching. I was able to make 4 pieces which were way above my expectations. Matt is very knowledgeable about his craft and will take you through the basics in a friendly manner so that you too can create great pieces from a lump of clay. The coffee's great too! If you're considering this course - go for it - you won't be disappointed. "
