You will learn the 5 basic steps in making a pot, from centring, opening out, and pulling up the walls of your pots, using specialist tools. Then its your turn to get hands-on and have fun shaping clay on your own potter’s wheel! An experienced tutor will talk you through the steps again and be on hand throughout offering practical tips and guidance as needed. Create as many pots as you wish of all shapes and sizes with unlimited clay to use during the session. At the end of the class, you can chose your favourite pot to take home (we'll pack it for you).

FAQs

Our minimum age is 7+ years for our potter’s wheel workshops. We ask that under 16s are supervised at all times by their parent or guardian while at the studio.
Pottery is a messy business - please wear clothes you don't mind getting a little clay splattered along with suitable footwear, (the clay doesn’t stain and will wash easily out). Aprons are provided for you use. For health & safety, we ask that long hair is tied back and rings/watches/bracelets be removed before using the potter’s wheel. You may also wish to trim long nails as they can get in the way of your creative expression!
