Perfect way to pass an afternoon

Babs made this afternoon workshop so much fun for this complete novice! She was kind and patient and her own history of pottery was so interesting. Maybe it was all the laughter that made my efforts a little wonky! Whole heartedly recommend!

Pottery Class at Blackheath Pottery.

I did a pottery lesson at Blackheath Pottery with just 2 of us in the class. The surroundings of the Pottery are beautiful but the main reason for the 5 star review is Babs, the potter.
Babs is welcoming, cheerful and patient. She was also very encouraging - even when faced with a shortage of natural talent in her pottery students! She made the whole afternoon a very enjoyable experience.

Better than I could ever have imagined!

Babs is an absolutely amazing teacher! I completed a six week beginner course along with three friends. I knew absolutely nothing about pottery and had no idea what to do. Babs taught me everything patiently, kindly and with lots of positive encouragement! Every week, we learned something new and had plenty of opportunity to try it for ourselves. At the end of the course, we walked away with our very own handmade pottery!

Wonderful learning environment!

Babs is a warm, kind instructor. No judgement. Hands on help when you need it. You feel free to experiment. The four of us who took the classes together want to do it again to practice more of what we’d learned and try more things! I’d recommend it wholeheartedly. ☺️ Oh yeah, it was loads of fun 😄

It couldn't have been a better day

It couldn't have been a better day. Friends and fun with a whole lot of creativity. Babs is not only a lovely smiley person that makes you feel happy just to be around but also exceptionally talented. I'd definitely go again 😁

Afternoon painting class…

Babs and her family were perfect hosts extending a warm and friendly welcome for an afternoon painting class. She made everything so easy and made everyone relax. It was a perfect way to spend a time with friends in a wonderful location. I thoroughly recommend everyone to visit Blackheath pottery.

Marvelous creations

I have just received my third order from this marvelous shop.
I love the elegance of the design with its light and fine lines, and the delicacy of the colors that Babs chooses for her creations.
These pieces beautify my kitchen and are perfect as gifts: absolutely recommended!
