The Pottery Corner

The 3 session throwing course was well paced to give time to develop skills in throwing, trimming and glazing. Sarah was able to share her time equally between the three of us, all of whom had differing levels of skill and prior experience, so that we all came away with new knowledge. I'm really looking forward to seeing the pieces which come out of the kiln and definitely want to continue learning. Very high quality tea and cakes too! Many thanks Sarah!

Wow what an amazing life experience! Four total beginner friends did a day workshop with Sarah to celebrate a 30th birthday. Beautiful and light studio full of inspiring pieces, careful/kind tuition, plenty of time to try throwing and hand-making pottery, a huge and delicious lunch served on platters Sarah had made! Sarah strikes exactly the right balance in encouraging and helping and giving you plenty of space to give it all a go. Best day I had all year - and then we came back to glaze the pieces and that was amazing too! The reason for 4 stars is that I would say is that communication after about future parties (because of the enthusiasm) wasnt as good. It seemed quite cold, and prices went up immediately and were told we had used too much clay last time. So I havent been back and decided to go elsewhere.

I received this pottery course for my birthday. Completed three sessions today with a friend. Aim of course to produce 3-4 pieces of pottery. What an amazing thing to experience. Sarah is a knowledgeable, friendly, clearly very talented lady. She encourages you even when the clay seems to have legs and goes off Piste! I would thoroughly recommend this experience particularly if you what to learn something new. Thank you Sarah for your incredible patience and ensuring we completed the overall aim of the course.

For anyone wanting to try out throwing clay for the first time, this is a MUST. We signed up for three classes which included throwing, trimming and glazing. Sarah is a wonderful tutor and the enthusiasm for her craft is infectious. We both came away with pots we are delighted with that will remind us regularly of very happy times at the Fishbourne Pottery Corner!! Thank you Sarah. It was a real highlight amid all the Covid chaos!
