Fantastic 6 week course

July 24, 2024

Oh my, Shannon’s 6 week course is like meditation! I looked forward to 2hrs of all things pot throwing every Tuesday evening. Shannon is the most patient, calm and brilliant instructor! The 6 week course covers everything from start to finish making and finishing your own pots. Amazing value and would really recommend it to anyone. Thanks Shannon 😊

Superb taster session, superb shop!

I’ve had a wheel throwing taster session with my friend and we both loved it! Shannon is such a patient, kind teacher who instantly made us feel that we were in good hands. We had so much fun and the shop itself is welcoming and cosy – such a lovely atmosphere!

First pottery lesson

I very much enjoyed my first ever pottery experience with Shannon. She was very friendly and put us at ease. She took her time to show us what to do and repeated everything as often as we wanted. The whole experience was lots of fun and I can’t wait to see our creations.

The perfect new hobby and lovely small business to support

January 22, 2024

My step-mum and I tried the 2 hour taster session and we had SO MUCH FUN. Neither of us had tried pottery before and we managed to make 3 pots each which are now being glazed and we can’t wait to collect them! Shannon was so lovely, patient and supportive – I will definitely be recommending crafting chicken to everyone and hopefully try a full course one day! Thanks again Shannon for a lovely creative morning!

A brilliant introduction to wheel throwing

January 12, 2024

We had a great experience with Shannon, who is very knowledgeable and super friendly. From the moment we walked through the door we felt at ease. Helping us take it at our own pace, we managed to make some lovely items that we can be proud of.

We will be back for more.

Super Fun Wheel Throwing Session!

August 22, 2023

Me and my mum enjoyed a 2hr taster session with Shannon and enjoyed every second.

Shannon is a fab teacher, patient and knowledgeable and soon made me and mum feel at ease.

We were amazed we actually ended up with some recognisable pots and were soon seeing improvements with Shannon’s expert tuition. And also enjoying a laugh when things didn’t go quite to plan!

Me and mum would love to go back and learn more, think we have both found a new hobby.

Thank you soo much Shannon for a fab evening 😊

Can’t stay away

July 22, 2023

Second visit in two days. Bought a couple of lipped plates and a mug and I love them. The glaze is beautiful. They’re a perfect size for pasta or a side salad.

Already looking forward to my next visit!

I can’t give this little business a high enough rating… Shannon makes absolutely beautiful pottery. It’s lovingly handmade, unique and so special 💜

I also took a 6 week pottery course. Amazing instruction, such fun and lovely piece to take home and treasure… just loved it!

Thank you Shannon @ The Crafting Chicken… everything you do is just perfect 🥰

Found this shop by accident and so pleased we did. Really beautiful pottery. Bought a couple of pieces but will be going back for more.

Private beginner session for two

June 28, 2023

I had a fabulous two-hour pottery taster session with my mum. Shannon was a very patient teacher who clearly demonstrated the process as well as explaining the purpose of each step, which was very interesting and helpful! The whole session was very well organised and my mum and I knew we were in good hands – would very highly recommend!

Hannah

Great Session with Shannon

May 22, 2023

I bought a session for 2 for my mum for her birthday. Shannon was really great – she was hands-on, very helpful and friendly! My mum had a great time. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

Private session for 2 - highly recommend

March 14, 2023

I’d always wanted to give this ago and Shannon provided a clear demonstration and then took us through step by step. She was very patient and clearly very skilled as she was able to take us from complete newbies to making some half decent bowls! I’d definitely come back and give it a go again. She has some lovely coloured glazes to pick from too. Thanks Shannon – I got a lovely mug too ☺️

First time throwing !

My friend and I had a brilliant couple of hours lesson with Shannon, throwing pots for the first time. She was a patient teacher, explained it all clearly, and I would highly recommend booking a lesson there.

Little shot cups

April 19, 2022

I can not recommend Shanon enough. I gave her a strange request to make me two small mugs that I wanted to use as shot glasses. She did such an amazing job getting the details spot on and the dimensions are perfect. Such a good finish. Fantastic

Purchased a bud vase as a gift for a friend and I’m really please with the whole experience. The vase was delivered within a few days, nicely packaged and very well made.
