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)

We came on 13/12/2025 as an early Christmas present for my sister and we had an absolutely amazing time!!! Avery, our instructor, was amazing, theyy explained everything in detail and when showing us what to do they were really clear. The class size was a perfect size (only 6 of us) so it meant that we all go more one on one coaching, and Avery was on hand to help fix any mistakes we made :) I absolutely would do this again and I highly recommend it to anyone!!!

Hazel was a great teacher, with a mix of humour and professionalism. Our group enjoyed the class structure mixed in with tips and independent work, too. We would recommend this class to anyone!

Really enjoyed our group session, Esther was an amazing instructor - knowledgeable, informative helpful and fun. It was our first experience of pottery and we all thoroughly enjoyed it, throwing and using the wheel was amazing and we all managed to make two decent pieces each. Would highly recommend.

Two 50+ adults trying pottery throwing for the first time. Abi is a great (and patient!) teacher, offering timely support, encouragement and remaining laid back, even as my partners clay almost flew off the wheel at high speed. It was such a fun experience and we got two pots each that we were really happy with. It was a lovely thing to do as a couple but would also be great for a group of friends and a wide variety of ages.
