what to expect
Absolute beginners (and anyone else who might want to take their wheel throwing skills to next level) are taken through their paces in a gentle and supportive manner. Our tutor's teaching technique is unrushed and passionate - each student will receive 1: 1 tuition - enabling creativity in a nurturing, learning environment.
