  • “Having been to an afternoon class to make a mug (a birthday present ),I couldn’t wait to go back and try something else. The weekend course where we made a dinner set for one was exactly what I wanted, and needed. Abigail is a great teacher and the atmosphere of the class was great, a small group of like minded people who had a great weekend. Can’t wait to do more..”

  • "Started course after enjoying making an advent ring in New Year. Loved it so much that I asked for the course as my Christmas present. Been 2 weeks now and it hasn’t disappointed- thoroughly enjoying it all with like minded friendly people on the course and particularly sharing my creative joy with Abigail, who is so patient, kind and encouraging with us - getting lots done and feeling quite proud of myself! Can’t wait for next week - coming to class is like drinking the perfect cup of tea - hits the spot, warm, comforting, soothing and makes you feel good x thank you

  • "What a tremendous workshop! Having the whole weekend to learn a new craft and work alongside such a lovely group was such a treat. Abigail is a fantastic facilitator as she is patient, talented and humorous! I’m so pleased to come away with a new found interest, some degree of skill and a six pieces of pottery that I will be proud to use. I would definitely recommend taking the full weekend course to anyone!"

  • "I've absolutely loved taking part in this pottery class! Abigail is not only incredibly skilled but also brings such warmth and enthusiasm to every session. She makes the whole experience fun, accessible, and genuinely inspiring. Her clear and patient instruction—whether you're hand-building or working on the wheel—has helped me grow so much in both confidence and technique. The studio is a fantastic space to learn in: welcoming, well-equipped, and creatively energizing. Abigail fosters an environment where you're encouraged to experiment, develop your skills, and push your creative boundaries. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to take your pottery to the next level, I can't recommend this class highly enough."

  • "We had such a fun day learning to raku fire our own pots. The glazes came out beautifully and I love my pots! Abigail is very knowledgeable and was great at keeping us all safe whilst letting us do the process ourselves. I learnt a lot and had loads of fun, highly recommended!"

    - Jonquil, July 2025

  • "We loved taking part in the raku day with Abigail. It was really well organised, meaning that we could enjoy the creative process whilst knowing we were safe. We were really pleased with the pots we took home with us at the end of the day - great to get to try so many different techniques."
