A brilliant day worth every penny - A brilliant day that I would recommend to anyone - on your own or as a group. I attended on my own, and as a complete novice, but felt welcome and at ease from the moment I arrived. With my own wheel / space to work throughout the day, fantastic demonstrations and guidance as we progressed, and as much clay as I wanted to practice with (I had a LOT of 'learning pots'), I was able to work at my own pace. Everyone produced pots they wanted to keep and I am looking forward to seeing mine when they are fired and sent to me. Worth every penny and I am now positively potty about playing with clay.

Definitely the best start to our new hobby! - My partner and I attended the two day pottery wheel course at Eastnor with Jon and Sarah. We absolutely loved it. With only a small group of people, and really good demonstrations of the basics, you really get to learn the fundamentals quite quickly, enough to produce some reasonable starter pieces. Jon and Sarah are so engaging and clearly very passionate about what they do. It was a thoroughly joyous experience and we’d recommend it to anyone who wants a really good introduction to the wheel. Thanks so much for such a great experience in a gorgeous location too!

Great fun with excellent teacher ! Would go again - A really enjoyable experience with Sarah & Jon. Sarah was a great teacher who gave clear instructions and had a good sense of humour. We did learn something even though our efforts of spinning clay on the wheel ended up "being recycled" We would highly recommend this fun experience to all age groups!

A brilliant two days spent at Eastnor Pottery - I thoroughly enjoyed my two day course. Jon and Sarah were brilliant- welcoming, encouraging and always positive. What a lovely setting too. I now feel confident to get on the wheel and see what I can create! If you are considering enrolling on a pottery course, I would encourage you to give it a go with Jon and Sarah, it really was great fun. Thank you Eastnor Pottery.
