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.

Brilliant class, there were only 4 of us which allowed more time and support with the teacher. Had so much fun and learnt so much.

What a fantastic experience! This was our first time doing something like this, and we absolutely loved every minute. Avery was an amazing teacher, so patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging. We learnt so much in a short space of time and walked away having made two creations we’re really proud of (well, we were happy!). The class was relaxed, fun, and surprisingly therapeutic. Avery explained each step clearly and made the whole process really enjoyable, even for us total beginners. A few tips if you're going: Ladies, bring a hair band and everyone an apron if you have one, it can get a bit messy in the best kind of way. Parking is street parking, so leave a little extra time to find a spot. I even made a TikTok of my daughter creating her art deco bowl, such a fun way to capture the moment and now we have a living memory of a wonderful day together. Highly recommend this experience, whether for yourself or as a unique gift. Would absolutely do it again!

We had such a wonderful time at our taster session. Abi was fantastic! She was very friendly, patient, knowledgeable and always seemed to help at the right time before any pots went a little pear shaped! We can’t wait to come back!

First taster my daughter and I had, we really had a good time, felt very welcomed, with us we were in total 6 "students" © Robin was our Teatcher, explained all the stages really well, gave all the attention and help as needed to each one of us while in the wheel, could take photos / videos, the two hours went so fast! We could chose if we wanted to keep one (included in the price) or the two pieces of art we've created the second at a cost of £10 each Thank you Robin! I strongly recommend this class

Absolutely loved this taster session with Hazel. She was so calm and informative. Gave us all the basic information and then let us play with what we wanted to make. It was a nice size group so not too overcrowded and everyone made such different things so it was excited to see that. I signed on for me and my friend as a birthday gift and im really glad that I did because it's made us both realize we could try the longer weekly sessions. Neither of us felt uncomfortable about making any mistakes and it felt like such a safe environment to try something new.
