I participated in the Mindful Clay Pottery Wheel 8 week workshops at Goodwood. It was a wonderful experience. My friend and I really looked forward to these sessions each week. Sofie was an amazing teacher. Her whole group demonstrations were inspiring. She spent time watching and helping each of us independently, targeting her support to each of our specific needs. Sofie was patient and showed me things over and over when I was finding things difficult. Wheel throwing was much harder than I had expected it to be however lots of laughs were had as well as mindful moments. I would definitely recommend! Can’t wait to pick up my final pieces. ♥️

My mum booked a private party for a birthday and told them that she has not been able to confirm numbers yet but wants to book the room/party ahead of time. She was told that to book the room she would have to pay the minimum amount of people (which was 5) to book/secure the room that fits up to 12 people and then she was told she would just have to confirm her final number 10 days before the event. She did this, then got no reply and had to follow up twice. She was met with a response that was we can only accommodate the confirmed 5 and we cannot add anymore people as the room for up to 12 was booked out. ?? How is this possible when she paid a large deposit for the full price of min 5 people to book that room? ( she never confirmed only 5, that was the minimum they said she had to pay to book the 12 person room) It left us with nowhere for the party as we couldn’t just have 5 people attend as the party had 8 people attending. We then booked elsewhere yesterday and have been requesting a refund for a couple of days. Which they refused and twisted their words. Today, after following up for a refund again, they are saying all of a sudden they can find somewhere for the extra people to fit in but they are not offering a refund. This is very unprofessional and not acceptable. They had already cancelled our session as we requested ONLY because they let our room be booked out by others when we had booked that room. Therefore we were not provided with the service we booked for and are entitled to a refund. Very disappointing behaviour and I hope they reach out to her to fix this asap.

Good instructor and enjoyable Pottery Wheel Experience class.You don't get a say in the colours (blue or red, that's it) splattered on the white clay; the instructor decides. That was a let down. When I collected the pieces, there was tiny flecks of a colour lol, and was told the kiln didn't fire properly, so besides looking wonky with the glaze I assume they are now non-food safe. Good class for a night with friends, yes it's an 'experience' so fair enough but there are better pottery courses/ classes.

I have to say "this was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with my adult daughters !" I highly recommend this for a memorable activity, lovely atmosphere, lovely teacher, would definitely do it again thank-you ⭐️

Me and my partner went for a Saturday night session on the social clay wheel and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We had lots of fun and made some pieces we’re proud of! Will definitely be back. 🙂

I attended a Birds or Pears session. Our tutor was very encouraging, patient and happy to help everyone individually as needed. I would recommend this as a great way to try out a new interest.

The pottery wheel session was great! The 2.5 hour session was presented in an easily accessible way, and it was a lot of fun and very relaxing. Would definitely recommend it!
