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.

The taster pottery class itself was a wonderful experience – the teacher was incredibly friendly and made the session really enjoyable. The only downside was that there was a film crew working in the next room, which caused some disruption. Unfortunately, we weren’t informed about this in advance, and no explanation or apology was given at the time, which was a bit disappointing.

Really enjoyed this class. Abi explained the process our pots would go through and showed us lots of examples to give us ideas of what we could make. Having a small size group of 4 was was great so Abi could help everyone when needed. Looking forward to getting the pots back once fired. Would recommend.

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!
