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.

Mum and I had a great afternoon learning to throw pottery with Robyn. Robyn was very patient and helpful, we’re excited to see how our pots turn out! We would really recommend this taster session for anyone interested in playing with some clay!

Tabii! İşte İngilizce çevirisi: it was such an enjoyable experience, teacher Ester is truly amazing. Even though it was my first try, I was able to make two usable products. I had a really wonderful and fun time.

It was a pleasure meeting our teacher. She was very efficient, and even though it was my first time with pottery, I felt confident.

Loved it! A thoroughly enjoyable 2 hours. Really good demonstrations by the friendly teacher and hands on help throughout. Produced three pots that I’m excited to collect. Thank you!

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.
