Ever fancied a go on a potters wheel? This class is aimed at throwing newbies, suitable for total beginners aged 16 plus. Class size is small so you’ll have plenty of advice and tips from one of our professional pottery tutors. We will concentrate on centring, opening up and pulling up walls. You’ll have a chance to keep 4 of your best pots. It’ll be £5 extra for them to be glazed in our house white glaze and ready to pick up about 4 weeks later. Pots must be picked up within a month of being notified. We have introduced this charge as around 50% of the pots we fire don’t get picked up so we’d like to be a bit more environmentally friendly and save electric and waste if you don’t want to keep any of your creations.

Please bring your own apron and towel and a cold drink if you want one.

Cut your nails and tie long hair back.

Please wear warm clothing as the space is a working pottery in an industrial unit.

Please note there may be dogs in the workshop (spaniels ) so if you’re scared of them please let us know so we can make alternative arrangements.

No refunds and no transfer
