It’s a very special thing to make something. The things we make with our hands are conduits of truth, love and joy.
Come and try your hand at throwing pottery on a wheel in these fun, hands-on sessions at Aunty Social. No previous experience is necessary as friendly instruction will be provided. Mike from Studio Dot will be here showing you how to make cups, plates, bowls or whatever you feel like making. He’ll also fire and glaze your work in whatever colour and finish you like.
Up to 3 people can attend each session, so bring your mates or a date for something fun and a bit different!
Every time you eat lunch or have a brew you’ll be reminded of how creative, powerful and capable you are.
What is it?
You will be given a ball of clay and guided to make an item of your choosing, using a pottery wheel. You will then be given more clay to make further items by yourself. Help will be on hand if you would like guidance with your second throw as well.
Your items will be taken away after the session for glazing and firing, and you will then be able to collect them from Aunty Social.
What's included?
All equipment and materials will be provided, along with full 1-2-1 instruction.
Please wear appropriate clothing as it can get a little messy.
How much is it?
£60 per session, including glazing and firing of your items.
Up to 3 people can attend each session, please let us know at the time of booking.
Also please be aware that due to time constraints, if more than one person attends, there will be less time on the pottery wheel per person and as such, fewer items would be made per person.
There is an option to hand build items too, whilst your companion is using the wheel. The surcharge for these extra items would be £15, payable on the day.
When?
We have a selection of 1 hour sessions available on the 16th of August
