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.

Very lovely teacher, she was so accommodating to my 9year old! Time just flew by and we have fun using the pottery wheel!

Bought as a China (20th) Anniversary present for my husband and myself. Got a gift voucher, which took a few days (over bank holiday) to arrive by post. Highly recommended experience. Eszter was a very patient teacher and we each got to throw two pots, one of which they would dry, trim, glaze and fire for us to pick up in a few weeks. (The second one could also receive the same treatment for an extra £10 but most people's first attempts didn't merit that!) Just six people in our class (maximum of 8), with two people sharing a wheel.

We had our class with Abi. It was wonderful from start to finish. She was there to guide us throughout and lend a hand whenever we were unsure on how to proceed. We got messy with the clay but got a chance to make 2 to 3 items ourselves from start to finish. Overall it was a lot of fun and I would recommend it to everyone. I would probably come again for a class whenever I get a chance

Such a great class and what a cute activity to do! It was super hands on ( great for beginners) but also the instructor/teacher gave us so much opportunity to create something on our own and try out all the techniques. Robin as so lovely to work with and was super helpful answering questions . Definitely recommend to everyone !

This was the first time my daughter and I did Pottery Throwing, and it was amazing! Even though we worked individually on our own models, we had to help each other - it was like a team building session with lots of fun and laughter, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Ester is really nice, helpful and hands-on. She made sure the item you wanted to make was the best it could be, and she also told us her back story which was extremely interesting. I would 100% recommend pottery throwing. It's fun and makes you feel proud that you made something that you can later look at sitting on your shelf at home.
