Wightman Studio

Phoebe and her cousin had a wonderful, creative morning with you. We can’t wait to see the finished creations. Thankyou

This was great value for money and we felt like we pretty much had private tuition. We were all kept very busy in a wonderful way and both Annabel and Lucy read the room perfectly and pitched it exactly right. Thank you so much for such a fun class. The cylinder is definitely the best thing I have ever made (with help!;))

My 20 year old daughter and I love pottery and so we decided to try a pottery throwing taster session together. Annabel was warm, friendly, knowledgeable and very patient! We used the wheel and we each made our own bespoke vessel with the gentle guidance of Annabel. It was a wonderful experience - creative, tactile and mindful and we’d like to do more!

I have just finished the 6 weeks and my only gripe is that it's over. This is a one to one tuition that is laid back and flexible. Annabel and Lucy teach in different ways so having a mix of both helped immensely. Annabel is very hands on and Lucy guides and explains the technique. You may find cheaper classes but you will not find a more focused and welcoming environment than Wightman Studio. I came away from my sessions feeling confident in what had been taught but also like I had been hanging around with some old friends.
The studio is clean, modern, has highend equipment and you will never feel pushed for time at the end of your session.

I started as an absolute beginner and have finished with enough knowledge and confidence to set up my own studio.

Spent a lovely couple of hours in the Studio this morning learning the very basics of making a vessel. The setting is just beautiful and peaceful so a wonderful time to relax and just enjoy being creative. I was taught by 2 very friendly creators at different points during the session, They were both very encouraging and supportive and showed different techniques which was fab!
I was just learning and chatting away with no pressure to get it right straight away.
It was my absolute first time throwing on a wheel and had only done very basic primary school level clay work prior and I've left having made a nice item which I thoroughly enjoyed making. I honestly could have sat there all day, I found working with the clay quite relaxing and mindful almost meditative and I would definitely go again.

Fantastic class. Very fun and interactive. The teachers are very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

Annabelle is a very talented potter and teacher - her instruction is easy to follow, makes sense and the results were frankly way above my expectations of my abilities! I can’t wait to the fired results. I had a great time and will be back for more.

This was a birthday present from my husband and was great fun - definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to try out a new craft.
The studio is light, bright, has ample parking and is easy to find. Thanks very much
