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!

The pottery class was brilliant. It was booked as a gift for a 40th birthday gift. 3 of us attended, it started on time. Chris, the teacher was very welcoming and polite. We had a drink and started the session. Chris was very patient with us all, made us feel at ease when dealing with our (lack of) skills during the session. We all highly recommend the class to anyone. It was an extremely fun, and creative couple of hours. We would do it again. Thank you

A party of 9 of us went for my Mom's 70th Birthday and the experience exceeded everyone's expectations. We all absolutely loved it. Chris was a great teacher, very calmly explaining everything clearly and spent time with everyone while throwing. Looking forward to picking up our glazed pieces in a few weeks! Fully recommend.

Lovely couple of hours trying a new skill. Much more technical than you’d think but our expert instructor Gavin was very patient, knowledgeable and always on hand to help. We managed to throw 3 pots in our 2 hour taster class and we’re looking forward to seeing the finished items in a few weeks. Nice atmosphere, lovely light space, we really enjoyed it

A wonderful class. Our teacher was patient, attentive, passionate and inclusive ensuring no one felt left out. A class of 6 really is the perfect size for everyone to learn and get involved. We thoroughly enjoyed this and would definitely recommend!

Our teacher was the Hungarian lady (forgot her name sorry ) she did a great job of including everyone and teaching based on everyone's ability. We felt very welcome and she was a great teacher. It will take around 8 weeks to get our pottery but in that time they will be cleaned up and glazed so that you can eat and drink from what you've made. You make 2 items and it's an extra £10 which is very reasonable. It was a very informative class and she explained the whole process. Looking forward to coming back in the future.
