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.

I had my very first pottery class yesterday and absolutely loved it! Robin, our instructor, was amazing warm, encouraging, and clearly passionate about her craft. She made the experience feel calm, creative, and fun, guiding us patiently through each step and offering help whenever we needed it. As a complete beginner, I felt completely supported, and by the end of the session I was genuinely proud of what I’d made. It was a grounding, hands-on experience I didn’t know I needed. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to try something new or just spend a few mindful hours doing something beautiful. Thank you, Robin — I’ll definitely be back!
