What our students say about our special needs sessions
My son has been coming to Emma and Penny’s Pottery Studio for sometime now. Both Emma and Penny have made us feel very welcome and relaxed there.
My son has A.D.H.D. and mild learning difficulties but from the very first session he was completely at ease in Emma’s 1 to 1 hand building clay sessions.
Emma is a wonderful teacher with a real understanding of his special needs. She has inspired him to make a number of different items – a hedgehog, a tortoise, a mug, an Ammonite bowl, a cereal bowl and a soup bowl. Emma has taught him all the necessary techniques in hand building and it is a delight to see his enjoyment, the look on his face and the work produced. He looks forward to each weekly session and I can see how much he enjoys it. Deloris
I really enjoy coming to your pottery sessions. It has been great making lots of things with clay – a mug, bowls, and a tortoise. You always explain what to do very carefully so I understand what to do and then I do it.
Emma, you really understand my needs and because of the way you have been teaching me I have found an activity which I feel I am good at and I enjoy doing it.
The highlight of my week is coming to the pottery for my 1 to 1 session with you. I am looking forward to continuing it for some time to come. Thank you. Patrick
