I had a lovely time at the smushing platter class. An easy intro to working with clay, you get in the zone and the time flies! Now I'm keen to go back and have a go on the wheel too. Thanks for sharing your ceramic skills, Marion!

A lovely bonding experience to share with family or friends or even if you want to do something special for yourself! Very supportive environment, there were patient and clear instructions for what you are doing from Mary and also really flexible as I even took my baby along! The size/quality of the teapots we made also exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended!

We went down for the teapot making, and had a great time, I was offered a cup of tea to start with, then we were shown some mould options to start out design. We were free to choose what our pieces would look like, but also advised on things that wouldn't work so well, so that was a good balance. In the end I finished a decent looking piece, which I would not be ashamed of gifting to a friend. Great date idea, and nice location with cafes and the beacv to visit after. Yeah I'd definitely recommend it!

I went to the Pottery course on a sunny Sunday afternoon. I arrived at Bundeena at 11am and the course was starting at 1pm so I had time enough to enjoy the beach and swim a little. I had never tried any artistic approach and that´s why I was a little anxious. When I got to the venue there was a guy who was gardening and he told me Marion was about to arrive and then the class would start. When she got there we started and the aim was to make three potteries... The aim was targeted! The course was awesome, I definitely recommend it! It ignited an interesting part of my brain so now I´m a hundred per cent sure I wanna boost and develop it. Thanks for the opportunity.

We went to Something at Mary’s for a Hen’s day and had a lot of fun making teacups. Mary was lovely and very hospitable, the studio space was small, but did the job. Thank you for a wonderful day!

Mum and I went and had a fantastic day out together. We were so happy with our teapots, the level of assistance and patience provided by our teacher. We highly recommend this course.

My boyfriend got me the throwing and turning classes for Christmas. We absolutely loved making our pieces and having a chat with Marion. Our pieces turned out beautifully and we couldn't be happier with our while experience.

My partner and I went for the Saturday throwing and Sunday Turning classes. Marianne showed us how to do the basics and helped us and others get 3 pieces of pottery each made up Small cup, medium cereal bowl and sml/med sized bowl. The classes are small (4 ppl) and are run in a quirky little garage, its small and basic (a bit hot if its hot outside, lol) but the space and the weather soon became irrelevant when we immersed ourselves in the cool clay fun. Marianne went the extra mile and we had a great time. Highly recommend!

My partner and I both loved making bowls at Mary's! I bought him this class for our anniversary and also because we had broken most of the bowls in our house. It was his first time trying it and he aced it. Mary was super encouraging and knowledgeable about her craft. A fine teacher. I would recommend to anyone.

My mother and I thoroughly enjoyed our practical experience making pottery and we learnt so much in a short period of time. We were surprised at our end result and made three beautiful bowls. We had such a fun time together and Mary was very skilled and professional. Thanks for the experience!

Mary is so lovely. Her little workshop is very welcoming for potters of all abilities - complete starters to experienced wheel potters. She has such a huge range of kilns and glazes and everything. We had a great day, finished with fish and chips on the beach!

I had a pottery class and loved it so much I brought my son for a lesson as well. Lessons are given with patience and care and a pragmatic easy to grok language. I'd recommend having a go to anyone!
