StudioMade by Darren McGinn

What a beautiful place. The moment I walked in Darren and co.made me feel welcome and comfortable. Our class talked, laughed and created. I got to meet a true legend of his craft and had a wonderful Sat morning. Five stars from me. Thank you!

We recently spent a soul-soothing afternoon in Daren's cosy studio learning how to throw clay onto a spinning wheel. Not as simple as it sounds! 2 gorgeous puppies were on hand for encouragement pats as we made shapes, collapsed shapes and started all over again. Loved it! Highly recommend. Wish I took photos of our little clay triumphs (and disasters).

My daughters and I had a great Saturday afternoon attempting to throw pots. Both of our instructors were knowledgeable and very patient. We are looking forward to seeing what our creations look like after firing.

I attended last night (18/3/22) with two friends to a pleasant Friday evenings session. We were met with amazing food and cocktails and guided through a brilliant 2 hour session with lots of fun and laughter. None of us have any experience but all made cups and bowls (with some help of course). I highly recommend trying out pottery classes here! We will definitely be back, thank you!

Thank you Darren for helping me spend some quality me time. I have always wanted to take pottery classes and you have made it so much more fun and learning experience than I had thought. Creative juices run free in these classes. Thanks again for the great experience.

I have been attending Studiomade term classes for the past 9 months and I absolutely love going to class each week.
The teachers are amazing and I have learnt so much.
***HIGHLY RECOMMEND***

I’d highly recommend the taster class - but be warned you just might want to do a term! Beautiful little studio with an attached cafe serving delicious treats and great coffee. The taster class lets you try wheel pottery - whether beginner or expert you will have a lovely time and be thrilled with your masterpiece!

We had a private session for our family (2 adults and 3 kids aged 10,12 & 14) as part of a Christmas gift. We all absolutely loved it. We all ended up with 2 quite impressive pieces and Darren is not only a wealth of knowledge and a superb teacher, but he's just an all round lovely guy. When we went back to pickup our pieces we stopped for a cake and coffee/hot chocolate and this also did not disappoint. Just a great vibe throughout, lovely people, and a highly recommended experience. We will definitely be back for both coffee and pottery!

I have completed two terms with Darren and absolutely loved it! Darren is a great teacher, he is incredibly talented and has the patience to meet you where you're at, whether you're a beginner or experienced. Classes are kept small so you get the support and guidance you need and you're left to create as your heart desires and where your imagination takes you. I love my pieces, such a fun and relaxing class.

Great coffee and food and super friendly staff. An awesome fit out and great easy to park location.
