  • Never having had any previous experience at doing pottery I enrolled at the age of 71 because now I have time to attempt to learn new things. I love this class and cannot recommend it too much, The joy of creating something from a lump of dark damp clay is truly awesome, primeval and just good therapy all round. I will be enrolling again when this class finishes because I am hooked , having a wonderful tutor only inspires me to constantly learn.
