Amazing potter studio! Sophie is a really great teacher. Super patient and takes the time to explain all the steps. Even when the class gets busy. I’ve been to two of her courses and so if you’re looking for something new to try that’s creative I would definitely recommend signing up for her courses! Tea and cookies included. :) I recommend!

I recently spent two days with Sophie on a semi-private mould making and slip casting course. Both days were simply amazing! Having had very little knowledge about either parts of the process, I have come away feeling entirely capable and empowered to start making my own work, the science of it all now exciting rather than off-putting! I couldn't recommend Sophie as a teacher more; she's super knowledgable and great at explaining stuff, plus she's a lot of fun to hang out with, which makes for a lovely experience! If you're thinking about taking one of her classes, just do it, you won't regret it!

Had the best time at the Clay Taster Workshop. The teacher was amazing and the class structure well thought through.

Together with my husband we booked a 10 week pottery course with Sophie after watching The Great British Pottery Throw Down on BBC. As a complete novice, I didn't know what to expect and long before the first session even started, I doubted whether I was able to create anything at all. And yet just after the first lesson I was hooked! Sophie has skillfully showed us how to make our very first pinch pots, explaining each stage as she went along, then patiently guided all participants along the way to help them create their own pots, mugs, tea light holders etc. We are halfway our course and have also learned and made coiled pieces, learned how to build using slabs and had a good go at a pottery wheel. There's plethora of tools and moulds available to use at will. The atmosphere is always relaxed and we are encouraged to express our own creativity in choosing type of the dish, its size and shape. I love the spacious and airy studio with a stunning view of Kent countryside. There are always many pottery pieces on display, great as a source of inspiration, along with many books, which we were encouraged to rummage through. In the beginning I was slightly bit anxious to be lagging behind others, but then just relaxed and immersed myself in this wonderful creative exercise. I found it rather therapeutic, too. There's no sense of urgency and pressure to complete one piece in any given technique by the end of each session to be ready for the next one the following week. Sophie is friendly and helpful, very supportive and hands-on. I cannot recommend this course highly enough, especially since it is also a great value for money.
