I found a supportive community of people, all keen to help and engage with each other. Clay Shed is impeccably well organised and clean, and you’ll learn best practices for keeping your ceramics safe from the start.

The studio is such a welcoming environment that I felt at home right away, the instructors were both really friendly and very helpful and I was so pleased with the pots I got to take home.
