Fantastic course. Jo allowed us to choose our own projects and work at our own pace but was always on hand to provide expert help and advice. If we were ever looking for inspiration she always had loads of ideas and templates available.

Highly recommend this course.

A wonderful way to spend an evening!

The Ceramics course is great fun and very interesting too.

A constant learning curve. Jo is a brilliant teacher and so patient.

It has been lovely to do it with others who are all at different stages and be able to encourage each other.

I have absolutely enjoyed every moment of this course. Its a lovely group of ladies, lead by the wonderful Jo ! I must say the thing I enjoy most about this evening course is the support to be creative in the way you would like to learn. We can turn up with ideas of what we would like to create and Jo helps to facilitate this. It takes a while for our creations to go through the process of drying, firing, glazing and re firing but that is to be expected and its something that can’t be rushed. Its testimony to Jo that most of us are re enrolling !

I absolutely enjoyed every moment of the course. We were taught lots of different techniques and the sessions ( 2 hours) just flew by. Looking forward to the next course and will definitely return.
