Thank you Beth. It was a real pleasure to host you both in studio for a throwing workshop and then again to glaze your pots.
Incredible - thanks Chris
Incredible, unique and hand crafted products.
My clients LOVE their cacao cups and I'm now a proud owner of wax burners and a Moon Vase.
Thanks Chris.

It was an absolute pleasure to host you both in the studio. Look forward to glazing those pots with you both again soon.
Loved our pottery workshop with Chris…
Loved our pottery workshop with Chris and returned to do the 2nd painting/glazing session. Chris was very knowledgeable and a great teacher. The whole experience was very comfortable. The cost was also very reasonable. Would definitely recommend :)

Thanks Pip. Great to host the pair of you and can't wait to see your glazed pots come out of the kiln.
Chris is very friendly and patient
Chris is very friendly and patient. He greeted us at the gate with umbrellas as it was pouring with rain, made us very welcome, explained everything so clearly but also let us all do our own thing creatively. We loved it and would recommend to absolutely anyone!

Thanks Esther. Great to have you back at the studio and glad you all had a good time. You made some nice pots in the last session and it'll be great to see them all glazed when they come out of the kiln next week.
A great way to get started with throwing
I had a great couple of classes with Chris, teaching the essentials of throwing on the wheel. He's really informative and very patient and has definitely ignited a desire for me to progress things further.
He just does small workshops (for up to 3 people) so you always have plenty of time getting hands-on. We also returned at a later date to decorate and glaze our pots and I've just recently been to collect them after Chris fired them for us. They look great!
Can definitely recommend Chris if you fancy trying your hand at throwing,

Had a Pottery Throwing session
Had a Pottery Throwing session with Chris, it was Myself, my Sister and 17 y/o Daughter, we all had a really great time, Chris was really good and explained and showed us everything in great detail what we needed to do, his Studio setup was awesome, we all had plenty of room to watch each other and take pictures/video, and we all managed to make some really cool pots (some better than others I might add), were now looking at Booking the Glazing session to finish them off ;) Can 100% Recommend this to anyone !!!
