The Pottery Garden

I have attended both a pottery class and a glazing class at the Pottery Garden. Both classes were excellent. Karl is extremely patient, personable and knowledgeable about the various techniques and materials. The surroundings are also serene and conducive to creativity. A superb experience. Would definitely recommend as a must do whilst in Tortola. 10/10.

We recently went for a throwing class, and had the time of our lives. Karl gave us lots of valuable knowledge on clay, throwing and pottery in general. The beautiful scenery and laid back environment Karl provides allow one’s creativity to run wild. 10/10 would recommend to do solo, with friends, or with a partner.

This was the absolute best independent shore excursion that we have ever done!! Karl was so patient when he was teaching us what to do. He was so knowledgeable in the art of making pottery, you can tell he loves what he does and has the desire to share it with others!! Not only did we make the most beautiful pottery, we were taught the basics of the art of pottery making!! We got our pieces mailed to us and picked out a couple of pieces that he made and he gladly mailed them to us!! Karl was the best host, we thought that we were just getting a pottery class but it was so much more!! He gave us a tour on the way to the studio as well on the way back to the ship with such interesting facts about the island!! We will definitely be back to the island and will be sure to book another tour with Karl!! You will not be disappointed, great excursions for all ages!! This tour made our cruise!!

The Family and I, along with another couple, visited Karl during our day in Port. Karl was gracious enough to host eleven of us for a lesson (four adults and seven kids). He was patient and attentive to each one of us. He did not skip a beat, assisting each of us throughout the process. Whether that was sculpting or on the wheel. In the end we each were able to create our own "masterpiece." Karl colored and fired each piece and shipped our creations back to us in the states (no damage)! I would recommend this to anyone that has an interest in pottery or for those that are looking to doing something different! It was the highlight of the cruise for the family and I!
