5Very friendly and...
Very friendly and informative guide. Spent time showing us the various portions of the island and shared the history. He was very helpful in teaching us the pottery wheel and techniques to make whatever shape of pottery we wanted. Would highly recommend as something different and fun to do.
5Best excursion on Tortola
We had the most wonderful experience in Tortola. Karl is the most amazing tour guide and a great teacher of pottery. We saw many of the sights and beautiful wall murals. We received personal instruction to make our own handcrafted pottery keepsakes. We rate this 10++++++

5First Experience, Forever Memory
Surrounded by the simple beauty of the Pottery Garden, an atmosphere of creativity, laughter and novelty was created. I had so much fun! Definitely a place to stop on isle of Tortola for both beginners and pros alike! Karl, with a K, lol, was so experienced, kind and all around super funny while conducting and interacting with our group. I truly appreciated his down-to-earth attitude and the ease in which he made everyone feel seen and heard. I would definitely head back for another go. Don't Walk, Run to the Pottery Garden!

About Tortola
Tortola, the largest of the British Virgin Islands, is a hilly Caribbean island of white-sand coves, anchorages and sailing harbours.
Tortola is about 20 km long, steep and green, with a spine of hills running its length and bays on both the north and south coasts. Road Town, the capital, sits on a deep harbour on the south side, where yachts fill the marinas, and the island has long been a base for sailing among the surrounding cays and channels. Sage Mountain National Park protects the highest peak and a patch of remnant rainforest.
