Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

As complete pottery novices, we had a wonderfully memorable experience throwing some clay on a wheel under Donna's tuition.
We left Peterson Pottery Studio proud as a punch with what we had created (and wanting to return again soon to have another go). Can't wait to see what our bowls look like after firing!
Thank you Donna.

I bought a gift voucher for 2 hours on the potters wheel for my husband for his birthday, we went together and had a fabulous time. Donna is an excellent teacher, I was a poor student, but she was very patient with me and eventually we both produced some pottery (I wont call them pots). It was very relaxed and friendly and Donna had even gone to the trouble of putting a birthday banner up for my husband, I would definitely recommend Donna for anyone who has always wanted to try their hand at pottery, if not she also has a beautiful little shop full of fantastic creations, definitely worth popping into. Thank you so much Donna, hopefully we can come back and try again soon. x

My boyfriend and I visited Donnas in her lovely pottery shop a few months back and decided it was something we would like to book to celebrate our anniversary. So glad we decided to come, we had a lovely evening. It was just the two of us for two hours and Donnas was lovely enough to take some photos and videos for us to remember it by. We had a great time, it was a wonderful experience, something neither one of us had tried before but had a lot of fun giving it ago. Donnas was also a great help in guiding us and giving us a helping hand as we weren’t the most talented. I have now learnt to appreciate the work and effort that goes into it all. Would 100% recommend!!

We had an excellent taster session on the potter’s wheel. Donna is a patient tutor and made us feel relaxed and welcome in her studio. If having a go on a potter’s wheel is on your bucket list, I cannot recommend Donna’s workshop highly enough. Thank you Donna.

We had an amazing time with Donnas. She was a great teacher and very patient. We all made a couple of keepers and even bought something in the shop. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to have a go at throwing some clay. We all had a lot of fun. Thank you Donnas. xxx

Had a great time and it was lots of fun! Visited with a friend and learnt so much. Donna was so patient and is clearly very talented - her shop next door is definitely worth a visit, with a huge range of amazing creations. Thanks again, Donna. Hope to be back soon!

We booked a 2 hour session as complete beginners and didn't know what to expect but Donnas was an excellent tutor and host. We learnt about the studio and then got stuck in experimenting with the clay and the wheel.
Donnas was very encouraging and we had fun learning a new skill. Got teas and coffees made for us and even go to choose our best attempts and paint them!
It will be a lovely memory for us and would highly recommend people to give it a try as something different to do :)
Thanks Donnas, love Charlotte and Ed

We had such a fabulous afternoon with Donnas who is not only extremely talented but friendly and helpful. And whilst hubby managed ok I did need a bit of help. Everything is provided, even a cup of tea or coffee. The fact that it was just us two made it even more special. She also recommended a fab pub for drinks after!! We are looking forward to going back in a few weeks to collect our pots.

Came here as a surprise treat with my partner to have a go at throwing some clay and attempting pottery. Loved every second of it so much so we booked again and went for another class! Donna the owner and instructor is warm friendly knowledgeable and talented and makes you feel so at ease! It's made to look so easy and her attentive and intelligent delivery of the private instruction produced 4 pots out of us both!!
The studio is also filled with some amazing bespoke pieces the artist has made so make sure you have a look around her fab little shop! Perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon and so much fun do. It hesitate in booking you would be potty to miss this unique experience
