Our 2-hour pottery wheel taster sessions are designed for complete beginners and anyone curious about trying pottery on the wheel for the first time.
With expert guidance from an experienced potter, you'll be introduced to the fundamentals of throwing on the potters’ wheel and have the opportunity to create your own pots. No experience necessary — just bring your enthusiasm and a willingness to get mucky!
During your taster session you'll:
Learn the basics of throwing on the potters’ wheel
Be introduced to centring and shaping clay
Create your own pots on the wheel
Experience the process of making with clay
Enjoy a relaxed and supportive studio environment
The emphasis is on having fun, trying something new and enjoying the experience of working with your hands
✔ Complete beginners
✔ Couples, friends
✔ Gift recipients
✔ Creative day out experiences
✔ Anyone curious about pottery
✔ No previous experience is required
✔ Hen parties
✔ 2-hour pottery wheel session
✔ Expert tuition from a practising ceramic artist
✔ Use of all tools, equipment and materials
✔ Maximum 10 participants
✔ Studio glazing and firing of your favourite 2x pots
✔ Tea, coffee and biscuits
✔ Free parking
At the end of the session, you'll choose your favourite 2x pots for us to finish.
We'll carefully dry, trim, fire and glaze it in one of our beautiful stoneware glazes before it receives its final firing and is ready for collection a few weeks later.
With a maximum of 10 participants, our taster sessions offer plenty of demonstrations, individual guidance and encouragement.
Whether your pot turns out beautifully symmetrical or wonderfully wonky, you'll leave with a new appreciation for the skill, creativity and patience involved in pottery making on the wheel.
Wheel throwing requires a reasonable level of mobility. Our electric pottery wheels are not suitable for anyone with a pacemaker. If you have any accessibility requirements, please contact us before booking so we can discuss the most suitable course for you.
Many students begin with a taster session before progressing to our Beginner Pottery Wheel Throwing Course, where they can develop confidence and build the foundations of throwing on the potters’ wheel over six weeks.
If you catch the pottery bug, we'd love to welcome you back.
We know that life can sometimes get in the way of the best-laid plans, and we really appreciate you booking a place with us! As a small business, our workshops are planned and sold months in advance, so unfortunately we can’t offer transfers, catch-up sessions or refunds if you can’t make your booked session. Last-minute changes have a big impact on a small business like ours. If you can no longer attend, you’re welcome to gift your place to a friend or family member. Just let us know who’ll be joining us in your place, and we’ll look forward to welcoming them!
In the rare event that we need to make a change to a session, we’ll arrange to transfer your booking to an available replacement date of your choice.
Once you’ve booked, nearer the time, we’ll send you an email with all the details you need for your session. Please take a moment to read this carefully and remember to forward it on to anyone else sharing your booking.
Thanks so much for your understanding and for supporting our small business. We can’t wait to welcome you!
