“Were you one of Roberto’s students?”
Chances are, the answer will be yes.

As the last time I had used clay was at junior school I was convinced that I would not be able to do it at all, but Roberto's excellent tuition and the sheer joy of the feel of the clay made for a brilliant afternoon.
At the end you get to choose a glaze colouring and your pots are fired, glazed and ready to pick up a week or so later.
I'm absolutely thrilled with mine, they actually look great and I thoroughly recommend giving it a go.
I recently completed an 8-week pottery course at Pottery Galiano in Brighton, and I can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment I walked in, Roberto and Marcella made me feel incredibly welcome. They are genuinely lovely people who create a warm and supportive atmosphere.
Roberto is a brilliant instructor. He patiently showed me the basics to get started, and within the 8 weeks, I felt truly confident in my throwing skills. It was impressive to see how he effortlessly moved around the studio, providing individual guidance and support to everyone, regardless of their experience level. Whether someone was just starting out or working on more advanced techniques, Roberto was there to help them progress.
Even though I've gained so much confidence, I know there's still a lot more to learn, so I will book another 8-week course. Pottery Galiano offers great value for money, and the studio itself is a lovely, inspiring space to get creative. If you're looking to learn pottery in Brighton, this is definitely the place to go!
