Frequently asked questions

Do I need to bring anything?

Nope! Just yourself and your creativity. We provide all the clay, tools, aprons and glazes - anything you need, we have!

What is 'Pottery Throwing'

Pottery throwing is just another way of saying 'using the pottery wheel'. This course is all about the basics and fundamentals of how the wheel works and how you can make pottery using it.

When do I get my pieces back?

You can collect your creations after two weeks, however we only hold them for 30 days after that. Unfortunately, due to storage space, we cannot hold them for longer than 30 days.

Will there be hand building in this course?

This course is JUST pottery throwing. If you're interested in hand building we have other classes and courses just for that!

What ages are allowed?

We recommend 15+ for this course, but e-mail us to get further confirmation.

Can I have long nails?

We recommend short nails for this course, as longer nails can get caught while making pottery.
