  • “I absolutely love coming to Applegate Studios! I go along to the monthly Mud Club as well as the Clay & Play sessions, and it has quickly become one of my favourite things to do.”

    Sarah N.

  • "I joined the 6-week pottery course to learn hand building, agate work, and slip casting, and it completely hooked me. The teaching was patient and clear at every stage, which made trying new techniques feel achievable rather than daunting."

    Kessa C.

  • “I’m planning to go again already- there’s all you need to make lovely things and take time for yourself to be immersed in creating unique pieces. Bryony is so welcoming. I’m really pleased that my woven bowl turned out so well and I’m looking forward to seeing my vase…”

    Clare W.

  • "We had an incredible day at Bryony's studio learning the art of slipcasting! Bryony was warm, welcoming, funny and incredibly knowledgeable! Can't recommend this enough for a group of friends or couples who are after an amazing experience with lots of fun."

    Rich A.

  • "Really enjoying my monthly classes at Bryony's studio. She has a fabulous space and the classes are relaxed and friendly. As a complete beginner I have learnt a number of fabulous techniques and we are only half way through the year! Would thoroughly recommend Mud Club 😊"
