Rosa and Sarah were my tutors many years ago for the Wednesday afternoon classes, and I only have the fondest memories. They are fantastic tutors and the space is beautiful, classes are affordable and you're surrounded by so many inspiring makers and potters!
The studio is beautiful, filled with Artemide lamps, architect-designed details, and located by Eccleston Yards. One thing is clear, they have put a lot of money into this studio and secured a brand new building to house it.
Given this, one would expect a great experience. But the studio is essentially, style over substance.
Having attended a taster throwing class a while ago now, I still haven't been able to shake the experience of receiving really bad service. This has been reflective of me joining a different pottery studio after a fantastic taster course.
For the price that I paid which was £140 for 2/3 hrs, I never once felt like I knew what I had to be doing, and the class size was relatively small(up to 6). The tutor, I think his name was Josh, while seemingly a good potter, was a poor tutor. He did not break the techniques down well or make them easier to understand for a non-potter.
Finally, at the end the studio manager promised we'd all get an email when our pots were ready, a month had gone by and nothing. After contacting them, they said the 'kiln gods' claimed it. Which for a studio that charges that much, I would have expected them to keep a close eye on kiln times, glazing liquidity, drying times etc. But as I said, it's style over substance, so they offered be 10% off to book onto another taster...
