Derek Frost reviewed: Pottery throwing sessions on the potter's wheel in Norfolk

"I booked this experience for my wife and I as a surprise for her birthday. Neither of us had ever done this before but we both enjoy watching it on the tv and are always up for something new. We weren’t disappointed. Pat was very friendly and welcoming and explained clearly how and what to do. We each had our own wheel and so made the most of the two hours. She provided just enough help so we didn’t get lost but enough to encourage us to improve and learn. We both enjoyed our time with Pat, felt quite proud of what we achieved and would definitely recommend others to try. In fact we already have passed her details on to friends. "

Pat Southwood responded:

"Thank you Derek, it was a pleasure having you both in the studio and you both did very well, your pots are drying nicely and I will be in touch when they are ready. Pat. "

Liz reviewed: Pottery throwing sessions on the potter's wheel in Norfolk

"Really enjoyed the pottery wheel session. Pat was a great teacher, explained things clearly and didn’t seem to mind repeating them! We were very happy with the pieces we made and the option of purchasing ( at a reasonable price) more than the 2 included was a bonus. Pat’s professionalism and enthusiasm for her craft shone through and was infectious. "

Pat Southwood responded:

"Hi, Thanks Liz, you were both an absolute pleasure to teach, it was lovely having you at the studio. Your work is looking good and I will be in touch when I get back from Hungary. Pat."

Jason Barnes reviewed: Pottery throwing sessions on the potter's wheel in Norfolk

"Absolutely loved our morning with Pat. Both my wife and myself were complete beginners and had never been near a potters wheel, but thanks to Pats knowledge, encouragement, and great tuition we managed to produce a few half decent bowls 😎 Can’t recommend this enough, 👍"

Pat Southwood responded:

"Hi Jason, Thank you for your kind review, I am so glad that you both enjoyed yourselves and you both produced some nice bowls , Pat. "

Ellie Buckton reviewed: Pottery throwing sessions on the potter's wheel in Norfolk

"Really enjoyed this course. Pat was very patient with me and explained things in layman's terms. It was great having the one to one option, more time to learn things properly. I made several bowls and I could see my progression at the end of the 2 hours. Would definitely recommend this course."

Pat Southwood responded:

"Hi Ellie, it was a pleasure having you in the studio, good luck in your future pottery making. "
