Testimonials for Pottery Workshops

We had a very special day with you on Thursday…..
It couldn’t have been better. Everyone was still talking about it all day yesterday. (And we’re telling our friends!)
We are now very excited to come back and see you again for the final flourish to all our pottery-ware.
Thank you so much for our perfect day.
The Roberts family
We had a great family pottery day with Giulia and were amazed at how many things we created.  We used a range of pottery techniques and especially enjoyed throwing on the wheel – this was a first for us!  Giulia’s energy and creative spirit really inspires and she encouraged us all to get involved and have a go. Looking forward to a follow up glazing session soon.
The Valpy family
I had a great day with my two young daughters, we made lots of pieces including a beautiful coiled pot which will be treasured. It was a really nice way to spend time with my children and it was great to see our creativity come alive!
Dan
Seven ladies, including myself, loved taking part in our group pottery session to make our own bowls.
Ladies from the Kingsbridge Rowing Club
Giulia’s breadth of knowledge and drive to create art is truly inspirational to be around. She is an excellent, approachable teacher who wants to share her love of clay. It’s such a joy to bring home a creation of your own.
Colette
As a family we were all excited to glaze our biscuit-fired pottery. Glazing our items, we once again experienced lots of new techniques and the sky was the limit with colours and designs. It’s a wonderful mystery to know how things will turn out! The food and Giulia’s hospitality was wonderful, all day long, and we are looking forward to collecting our finished pottery and seeing the final results.
