This is a fun activity in Birmingham

Ever wanted to try your hand at throwing clay on a potter's wheel but weren't sure if it's right for you? This two-hour Birmingham pottery class is the ideal introduction to this fun, meditative craft!

You'll get to grips with the basics of wheel throwing, from essential theory and practical considerations to the best way to prepare your clay to ensure a smooth end result. Following a detailed demonstration, it'll be your turn to strap on that apron, take to the wheel and start throwing your first pot!

Don't worry about any messy mishaps as your teacher will be on hand throughout the session to guide you towards your first amazing clay creation. At the end of the session, you will pick your best piece to be fired, glazed and ready to collect in 8 weeks' time. (The firing of 1 piece per person is included in the price while additional pots can be fired at a charge of £10 each)

Whether you're treating yourself to a new crafty Birmingham activity, want a fun date-night activity or you're looking for a gift for the creative soul in your life, this class is sure to tick all your boxes.

Note that the class is taught in a group of 6 people unless it is a private session.

Lovely couple of hours trying a new skill. Much more technical than you’d think but our expert instructor Gavin was very patient, knowledgeable and always on hand to help. We managed to throw 3 pots in our 2 hour taster class and we’re looking forward to seeing the finished items in a few weeks. Nice atmosphere, lovely light space, we really enjoyed it

A wonderful class. Our teacher was patient, attentive, passionate and inclusive ensuring no one felt left out. A class of 6 really is the perfect size for everyone to learn and get involved. We thoroughly enjoyed this and would definitely recommend!

Our teacher was the Hungarian lady (forgot her name sorry ) she did a great job of including everyone and teaching based on everyone's ability. We felt very welcome and she was a great teacher. It will take around 8 weeks to get our pottery but in that time they will be cleaned up and glazed so that you can eat and drink from what you've made. You make 2 items and it's an extra £10 which is very reasonable. It was a very informative class and she explained the whole process. Looking forward to coming back in the future.

I went to the class not knowing what to expect and thinking I wouldn't be able to do it. But I was truly thrilled with the 2 hour session and now want to take it up as a hobby! Hazel was such a great teacher and made each step easy to remember - thanks Hazel you are a fab teacher. I really enjoyed the experience with my colleagues and would highly recommend this experience to other teams or individuals. Thanks so much.
