    Since finding this fantastic studio I haven’t looked back. I have wholeheartedly enjoyed all the courses I attended. Where I met some wonderful teachers. I even introduced my best friends to the world of pottery with a Christmas workshop. Since becoming a member I can only say I wish I could be there everyday!!! The Throwing Shapes team are so welcoming.

    So… I am bit of a groupie at this stage, and totally obsessed with the place. It started with their Christmas market...got some lovely pieces of pottery while supporting local and small creative geniuses. Then I’ve signed up for weekend class with Simon. The whole group was lovely and Simon made the whole experience super relaxed and enjoyable :)

    I walked away with a beautiful handmade bowl I couldn’t believe I created and a deep love for pottery. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and fulfilling experience.
