‘I would like to inform other people what a wonderful short course this was. Adele the tutor was very calm and relaxed and also very friendly and informative throughout. We learnt numerous skills during the course and even had a go on a potters wheel. It was very laid back and very enjoyable. I have mobility problems and my needs were accommodated really well and I felt the class was very inclusive in a positive way. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending it.’ Verity.
