A birthday gift from my lovely daughter, this was my first go at pottery. I went with a friend and what a special treat. It was such a wonderful experience: a fantastic two hour escape from the stresses and strains of everyday life, especially during the pandemic. The group was small (four) and we wore masks and were well distanced. Andra made us feel safe and welcome. She showed us around the studio (really interesting to see the kilns and workshop shelves covered in beautiful creations). She was so warm and supportive: a very gentle, humble, caring, nurturing person. She put us immediately at ease and encouraged us all the way through without being overbearing. I was amazed and excited to be at the potters wheel at my first go at pottery. I found the whole experience very emotional: focussing on making the pottery and using my hands to create something was therapeutic and mentally freeing. My friend and I both made five things in the class - so much more than we expected. Andra gently shared tips and tricks to help us get the best results on the day. We made whatever we wanted to with her help and advice. When we got our creations a couple of weeks later it was so exciting to see them: Andra had glazed them and they looked amazing. Lovely colours. She made everything look beautiful. If you're looking for a new, creative experience with a wonderfully supportive tutor I highly recommend Andra and her classes!

Newcastle’s best pottery painting and making experience! We specialise in pottery painting and making for first timers and experienced potters alike. Spend a couple of hours painting a ready-made piece of pottery, or learn to make a pot on the potters wheel whilst enjoying a cuppa and a sweet treat.

Got an at home pottery kit for a birthday gift for a family member and they absolutely loved it, the staff were so helpful in sorting it out and adding a birthday note on the bag. Will definitely be heading for a class there when they reopen to the public.

I love anything to do with arts and crafts. Just happened upon CC's Instagram page and knew I had to visit. Been quite a few times now and painted numerous pieces of pottery. Done baby prints, silk screening, painting etc. Going again very soon and will no doubt go again after that! So much fun for adults and children alike!
