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.

A wonderful afternoon pottery throwing. Very theraputic. Hazel was an excellent teacher and explained things very simply for us to understand. A nice class of 6 people so it was quite personal too. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed the experience and definitely want to go back again.

The voucher was easy to purchase and spend, the venue was easy to find, and we enjoyed our class.. the teacher was encouraging and knowledgeable and we were pleased with what we produced. The only thing that was slightly disappointing was the atmosphere in the room, it was awkward and could have been made so much better with some background music and maybe an introduction to the other people in the class. Thank you.

The class was really good fun and the instructor was knowledgeable and helpful. I have knocked off points however as we paid to have our creations fired and finished as a memento of the day last August 2025 on our anniversary, however it is now May 2026 and we are still awaiting an email or call to say they are ready for collection.

Loved the experience. Avery was really helpful throughout our time there. Very good for someone who has had no experience in pottery before. Highly recommend it!

We've just had our pottery back from our class with Eszter and we are so impressed! We absolutely loved our class with her, Eszter was kind and patient and we were amazed what we achieved with her guidance & knowledge. She promised she would make a replacement if any of ours didn't survive, and even though they all survived, both of us got an extra piece back as ours had cracks in - these extras are beautifully made and we are so grateful thank you so much!

Robyn was a brilliant teacher and was very informative. I bought this taster class as a gift for my girlfriend and we both enjoyed ourselves, to the extent that we are now considering it to be a future hobby!
