Fantastic experience
This was a birthday gift for my husband, we both had a fun time being shown how to use a pottery wheel, how to form the clay, and make a pot, all was explained well, and the studio was very relaxed.

What a wonderful day!
Great from start to finish. Rachel showed the method and followed by supporting each member of the group as we made our pieces. The studio is lovely, the support is wonderful (including little Tom!) A real positive introduction to throwing on the wheel! Would recommend!

Very happy experience!
Quite chuffed to come away with something vaguely resembling a pot! Very interesting and rewarding experience. Lovely teachers and gorgeous setting. Would go back.

What an amazing and relaxing place
I bought this voucher for my daughter as a little extra christmas present as she loves painting. Doodles staff were really helpful coming up with ideas and explaining different techniques to use to get the perfect pottery piece. We can't wait to pick up our plates we painted and book another session. Highly recommended.
