Description

Ditch the devices! If your children spend too much time on their electronic gadgets and you would love to have more quality time with them, look no further than our pot throwing and making course for your family. This course is designed so that you and your children share a unique experience, learning how to throw pots and model some fantastic outcomes. We can accommodate families of 2- 7 intergenerational members. Enjoy the opportunity for you and your family to laugh, communicate and enjoy a journey of discovery together, without the stresses and strains of everyday life. Book in advance for a perfect treat and really ignite the imagination! The course fee stated is for a child 6 -16 years and a parent or other senior family member. Other combination prices include One adult and 2 children £130, 2 adults and 1 child at £160. 2 adults and 2 children at just £180,one adult and 3 children at £160, 2 adults and 3 children at £215. A booking unit is described as one adult and one child for £95. Please book twice for a family of 4, and 3 times for a family of 6. Please contact me to enquire about other combinations.

What's included in the price?

There are no hidden charges - everything required for a fulfilling and memorable pot throwing and modelling experience is included in the price; that includes, tools, use of the potter's wheel, clay, tuition, firing and an invitation to come back and glaze and decorate your work. I keep the classes small as I like to maximize the amount of personal tuition you receive and the amount of time you spend on the potter's wheel. This course is highly interactive, fun and you will learn lots!

Duration

3 hours (2:00pm to 5:00pm)

"We had a brilliant session with Richard on the half day pottery throwing workshop. We came away having learnt lots of new skills and made several lovely pots during the course. We are really looking forward to going back to glaze our pots once they’ve been fired and can’t wait to have a go at Raku next year!"

" Lovely to meet you both for throwing. Thank you for taking the time to put up such a great review, I am delighted you enjoyed the session. See you soon."

Sue & Janet reviewed: Pottery wheel throwing and hand building full day

"We had a great day - got to try pinch pots and hand building in the morning and using the wheel in the afternoon. It was really good fun, and Richard is a very patient and attentive tutor - there were 6 of us in the group and we all had lots of help. Looking forward to returning to glaze our pots!, "

Potterydayz responded:

" Many thanks for attending the session recently, I am delighted you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to put up a review, it is most appreciated. I Look forward to you returning to finish your work."

Tam reviewed: Pottery wheel throwing taster

"Absorbing 2 hours. There were 6 people on the session we joined a family of 4. Richard demonstrated and explained the basics and then let us loose with the pottery wheels. Depending on your luck/skill most of the group managed to make 3 small pots. We need to make an appointment to go back in about a month to glaze our makes then once they are fired we can return to collect them. A really good 2 hours and looking forward to seeing if our creations survive the kiln."

Potterydayz responded:

" Great to see you at Potterydayz and I am delighted that you found the session absorbing. Thank you for taking the time to add a review and I look forward to seeing you for glazing."

Graham reviewed: Pot throwing on the wheel for a Half Day

"This was a great chill out experience with my son , we were lucky in that there were just the 2 of us so we had great attentive tuition and became quite proficient at creating unique one off bespoke bowls ? One negative but it did not spoil the experience I think the environment could do with a good clean up , it's a messy process but it would not take a lot to tidy up a bit more, sorry but trying to be honest in the review"

Potterydayz responded:

" Delighted you enjoyed the experience with your son. I'm pleased you found the tuition of value, particularly as you were the only visitors on that occasion and as you mention, you both settled into the process well to produce some great pieces of work during the time here. Is it time for a change of career for you- its never to late? Hope to see you again."

Sarah reviewed: Parent and child friendly pottery courses

"We would like to thank Richard for a thoroughly wonderful time. My daughter and I attended for a 3 hour workshop on throwing. Richard has a vast experience in pottery and ceramics and was able to teach us both (no easy task!) how to use the wheel to throw and make a pot! Richard is a skilled teacher and made you feel incredibly comfortable. My daughter and I were successfully able to make several pots a thing I though would not be possible! Richard also taught us other techniques for pot making during the session and we also had a chance to make a coil pot. We would highly recommend Richard and will definitely be booking again to develop our skills further. Thank you again for a lovely time."

Potterydayz responded:

" It was a pleasure to see you here at Potterydayz. thank you for taking the time to put up such a lovely review. See you all in the future for gazing the pieces."

Nikki North reviewed: Pottery wheel throwing and hand building full day

"Myself and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed the day. Richard was very good at explaining the process of throwing pots in simple steps. My daughter picked it up really quickly, I on other hand needed a lot more practice, but it was a great experience."

Potterydayz responded:

" Really glad you both enjoyed the experience here at Potterydayz. Thank you for the review- see you in the future perhaps."

Julie reviewed: Pot throwing on the wheel for a Half Day

"We had a lovely time making pots as a Christmas present. My husband was really good at it and made some great pots. I was not so good but Richard was patient with me and generous with the clay and I had a number of attempts and ended up with some half decent pots. Looking forward to going back and painting them."

Potterydayz responded:

" Delighted you enjoyed your visit. See you for glazing soon."
