Description

Hello, I'm Sharon, an experienced ceramic sculpture & clay artist, and I regularly host fun & informal pottery sessions from my Pottery studio in the beautiful village of Heskin, Lancashire. In this 1hr Potters wheel class you will have fun experiencing throwing pots on a potters wheel. Its suitable for beginners and can be attended by up to 5 persons. The class runs Tuesday to Saturday every week and can be attended by those 14yrs+ with an accompanying adult. You start with a ball of clay and are guided through the basic steps to make a pot. Once you have done your first pot with assistance, you then get a second ball of clay and some practice time to have some fun by yourself. Help is on hand throughout the session should you rather be supported with the second throw. You take your pots home at the end of the session to air dry OR as an Optional Extra, you can have your pots fired at a cost of £3 per pot. You then have the option of returning to the studio for a glaze session £15pp. The Crafty Potter studio is based within Heskin shopping Village, a unique retail and leisure destination featuring over 40 unique shops and businesses, With free parking we’re a perfect destination for you to make a great fun day out. The class makes a fabulous gift for all occasions.

Heather Carberry reviewed: 1hr Potter's Wheel at the Crafty Potter Lancashire

"What a brilliant time we had! Three complete beginners were welcomed by Sharon and tutored by Hannah. It’s much harder than it looks on the Telly but with instructions we all managed to produce a pot. It’s very relaxing and mindful concentrating on trying to form the clay but also great fun. We had a lot of laughs and are going to come back for another go! I thoroughly recommend this course, we had a grand day out browsing the stalls and a lovely lunch. You’ll get a very warm welcome in a lovely friendly atmosphere and try something new. 🤗👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻"

The Crafty potter responded:

" Thank you Heather for your fab review, you all did awesome xx"

The Crafty potter responded:

" Thank you for your lovely review, we can't wait to see how you glaze them. See you soon, Sharon"

"Bought for my husband as a birthday present but I wasn’t going to miss out on all the fun. We tried using the potter’s wheel and it was such great fun, you absolutely must give it a try. It certainly gives us new respect for the talented people on the Pottery Throw-down programme; which is what inspired us to book the hour’s session. Can’t wait to go back to glaze our dishes. Special thanks to our teacher, Hannah, who was so charming and enthusiastic."
