I have been attending throwing classes with Ricky Grimes for 1 1/2 years and they are both stimulating and great fun. Ricky has a sharp sense of humour, is enthusiastic with his talents, and patient with we poor souls. I have certainly gained in confidence with his guidance.

Tuesday afternoons at Ricky's studio are my favourite time of the week. It's my chance to be messy and experimental, a frame of mind that Ricky actively encourages. His teaching style hits the right balance of stepping in to help when I ask for it, and then stepping back to let me get on with it in my own way. I have learned so much by being encouraged to 'try it and see'. The other people in the group are incredibly encouraging and helpful, and there is a spirit of sharing information and knowledge which I really value. I'd mess about with clay in Ricky's studio every day if I could.

We had a one day pot throwing day today....excellent! Ricky is fun, knowledgable and patient.

Love attending this course and have learned so much in the company of nice people and an excellent and fun teacher .. look forward to it every week 👍🏼
