One-to-One Pottery Lessons in Tiverton (90 min)

One year into learning pottery throwing with Sabine (one lesson a fortnight) and I’m blown away with how far I’ve come. Sabine has allowed me to grow creatively in a supported environment. I’m now comfortable with throwing vessels under 500 grams in weight; I’m able to throw bowls, plates and mugs (including pulled handles) and have covered some finer details for shape making such as collaring in and turning.

Not only have we been able to cover throwing, but I’m learning how to mix up glazes and how to pack a kiln.

We made a project plan for Christmas presents, understanding exactly what I was aiming to achieve and the amount of time we’d need to get everything fired for Christmas - which was a huge success! (Photos included!)

I honestly couldn’t thank Sabine more for the sheer amount of knowledge she’s shared with me, and am excited for another year, working with Sabine and larger weights of clay!

If you’re interested in seeing if pottery is for you, Sabine is the perfect patient teacher.

I bought this 90 min pottery lesson for my husband's birthday as he'd expressed an interest in throwing a pot on a wheel. He thoroughly enjoyed his 1 to 1 lesson with Sabine and said she was an excellent teacher (high praise from him). I think he was rather chuffed with the two bowls he made and is looking forward to collecting them when they have been fired.

As someone who is brand new to throwing, Sabine is incredibly patient and thorough with her method of teaching. She creates a very relaxed and positive environment in a quaint her garden studio, giving you the space to learn, focus and enjoy! I’m blown away with the progress we’ve made after only a few lessons and have already walked away with my first items out the kiln :) I can’t recommend Sabine enough if you’re looking to dip your fingers into a new skill.

I recently started taking classes with Sabine and have been delighted with them. I thought I would spend the first session with nothing to show but a muddy mess, but Sabine’s patient and encouraging approach resulted in the production of two olive bowls in the first lesson! I have been delighted with my sessions ever since and she supports me to make steady progress, challenging me to take a risk here and there and explaining and guiding when things go awry. I throughly recommend these lessons to anyone interested in developing a new skill or to someone wishing to improve their current practise as Sabine is clearly a skilled artist that has a lot to offer.

I can't recommend Sabine's pottery lessons enough! Whether you're a beginner or have worked with clay before, she creates such a relaxed and constructive environment. The one-on-one experience means Sabine can guide you through the creating stages at a speed that suits you and she's always there to answer questions and help. After only three lessons, I feel like I've learnt so much and always leave her studio feeling so happy! If you live in or around Mid Devon and have a niggle for pottery, a lesson with Sabine is a must.
