Rae Ceramics

We spent a wonderful afternoon yesterday with Rae learning some new skills, and being creative with clay! Rae's passion for her work is evident and she is such a great teacher - knowledgeable, encouraging and kind! Sharing this experience with 3 of my kids was very meaningful and special. We loved our time and highly recommend lessons with Rae and meeting the lovely people at Assembly Arts!

Rachel made four ramekin dishes for my sister for Christmas. My sister loves them so much that she has them out on the side as they're too beautiful to go in the cupboard. This is a big deal as she is a super minimalist and NOTHING goes on the sides!!

I booked two one-to-one sessions with Rae and they were fantastic. I was able to create pieces of pottery that I never thought I would be able to achieve, and it was all thanks to Rae's brilliant teaching and support. The classes were both fun and productive, and I learned a lot. Rae is so lovely and it's so nice to chat with her whilst working. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and would highly recommend taking classes with Rae!

9th wedding anniversary - the traditional gift being pottery. I racked my brains as to what to get my wife and then thought a private day session with Rae for my wife and I would be great. It wasn't great, it was fantastic, Rae was friendly and very accommodating. Me and my wife had no previous experience but that didn't matter, Rae's teaching made it very enjoyable and fun. It was a fantastic day and would defo recommend.

Rae not only is an amazing ceramist, she also runs fantastic workshops for beginners that will show you how to work with clay using various techniques including glazing and all finishing touches you need! I went to both taster sessions and building skills sessions, and not only I learnt quite a lot - I also left with beautiful finished pieces that can be kept for yourself or be given as presents to family and friends! Rae is amazing teacher who will make you feel like 'clay' is your friend and you can have lots of fun with it 🙂 Workshops are hosted at Holm in Lancaster which is another bonus as you get to have a lovely cuppa and a cake too in a small group of lovely people ! Thanks, Rae <3

My friends and I took one of Rae's ceramic workshops recently, and all I can say is "Do it"! None of us in the group had any previous experience with clay, but Rae's teaching expertise made the process both enjoyable and very rewarding. Each of us came with different ideas of what we wanted to make, and she accommodated each one of us with support and enthusiasm. A great workshop and loads of fun....Highly recommend!

Rae's skill building pottery course was a fantastic way to learn different techniques, whilst at the same time being able to experiment and make pieces personal to you. The sessions were fun and informative. Rae's enthusiasm and relaxed approach helped to give me the confidence to try out new ideas and not give up! The smaller group size created a friendly environment, where you could chat and share ideas. Finally, Holm provided the perfect place to relax, with the extra bonus of delicious coffee and cake! Thank you Rae and Holm for providing such an enjoyable experience!
