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.

4 of us attended this yesterday with Hazel as our instructor. None of us had ever tried this before and had an amazing time and even produced 3/4 items each that we were happy to have. Would highly recommend this and we will probably go again! Thank you Hazel we had a brilliant afternoon

Really great experience organised for me as a birthday gift. Lovely teacher fun and engaging giving clear instructions, explanations and demonstration. Lots of rime allocated to making your own creations with help and encouragement at all stages. Can't wait to see the end results, one item included but managed to make 3 and decided to keep all of them. Would definitely buy for another and go back.

Bought this as a Christmas present for my husband. We were both a bit worried about having a go....and there is absolutely nothing to be worried about. Our tutor Hazel was lovely give us lots of guidance and help. It was great fun and we are now looking to putting our new creations on display

So fun! Very clearly explained and staff are extremely kind and helpful. You get the chance to make 2 pots and you can choose one to take home (which is part of your package) or pay extra for the second one. I had a great time and am definitely doing this again. I highly recommend. Also good for tweens (more older).

A very enjoyable morning! The session was easy to organise and book. Instructions were clear but it did take a few minutes to find the venue as it's in a multi occupancy building. Look for the wedding shop sign. Hazel was really calm and patient. She was very helpful. Her Instruction and guidance made it easier for us to manage the task. The whole group made some great items. We're looking forward to collecting them in 6 weeks.
