• 5/5 from Michaela Hock, attended Jul 2026: The Wheel Throwing Introduction Workshop was amazing and we had a lot of fun creating unique pieces. I was surprised how difficult wheel throwing actually is but Shontal is an amazing teacher and guided us patiently and with a good sense of humour through every step. She made us aware of potential common mistakes helping us to prevent them and made sure we understood the reasons behind her recommendations. The class was small with only 6 people which allowed Shontal to support each of us individually.I can highly recommend this workshop and would do it any time again. Thanks Shontal for a lovely Saturday afternoon!
• 5/5 from Rebecca Poole, attended Jul 2026: We absolutely loved our pottery class with Shantal. We organised a private lesson of mothers and teenage daughters and we had so much fun. I can’t imagine going to learn pottery from anyone else and our girls had so much fun.
• 5/5 from Steffanie Linde-Balko, attended Jul 2026: It was a great way to spend the morning and learn about pottery and wheel throwing. It’s harder than expected but with Shontal‘s guidance I created a beautiful cup. I‘m looking forward to take it home. Shontal is a great teacher.
• 5/5 from Simmone Miszuk, attended Jul 2026: Shontel is an amazing teacher. She breaks the whole process down and explains it so well, step by step. She makes sure everyone is looked after and creates a lovely group energy. She is calm and patient and available for everyone individually as they need throughout the lesson. We all came away with a piece we were proud of and excited to collect from Shontel after she is lovely enough to arrange kilning. Communication is amazing, great instructions on getting there and collection of our Pottery pieces. Would highly recommend and even do again. Shontel is the best. Thanks Shontel.

• 4/5 from Sandra Anne Penfold, attended Jul 2026: Thoroughly enjoyed the class, and although there’s alot of steps to take in, I thought Shontal was a great and patient teacher. Look forward to seeing my little pot when it’s fired and ready to bring home.

• 5/5 from Karen Brochu, attended May 2026: Had an amazing pottery class with Shontal over Mother’s Day weekend. Brought my adult daughter with me and we had an absolutely wonderful time. Shontal was not only very knowledgeable but also an excellent teacher. She was very patient and provided a great balance between guiding us yet also giving us space to figure things out. Would highly recommend thanks again Shontal
• 5/5 from Amarinda Bazeley, attended May 2026: Shontal is a fantastic instructor! Very warm and friendly and made us all feel very comfortable despite being complete beginners. Her instructions gave us just the right amount of information to learn without being overwhelmed and we had so much fun! We even got to paint our piece at the end which was a delight.
• 4/5 from Robin, attended May 2026: I thought the class was great & I learn a lot. The 2 1/2 hrs was a bit short.
• 5/5 from Vivianne Kay, attended Apr 2026: We attended this class (hubby and I) as it was a gift from our son for our birthdays. We found Shontal to be lovely and very knowledgeable about her craft and very willing to show you everything she knew. She went through the steps with us first and then showed us how she did it step by step on the wheel and then we got the chance to make a pot on the wheel! It went from being scary to having the confidence to turn up the speed and do things we never thought we could with clay! In the end we both had cute looking pots that we made and decorated. We cant wait to pickup the finished pots - the waiting will be the hardest thing but we enjoyed the class and the 3 hours went by very quick as we were so busy creating. If you have never tried wheel pottery you should - as its fun and very different to other pottery styles.
