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!

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.

I really enjoyed myself, it was my first ever attempt at pottery where I enjoyed it. Teacher Abbi was brilliant, had so much patience and really helped when things didnt go to plan. I booked a 2 hour session and it was great. I was nervous as hell but I got straight into. It was struggling with anxiety but wanted to push myself out there and this was it for me. Abbi was good, in helping me when she could see i was stuggling and my pot wasnt going to plan.
