This is a fun activity in Woburn Sands, Milton Keynes

Welcome to our Pottery Wheel Fun-damentals Class! Get ready to unleash your creativity in this 2-hour session where you'll dive into the exciting world of crafting bowls and cylinders. 1 hour at the potter’s wheel and 1 hour hand building. Our super friendly and experienced tutor will be there to hold your hand through every spin!

Expect to whip up approximately 2-4 dazzling pieces during this class—it’s a blast for beginners! Plus, it's a group affair with a maximum of 8 fellow pottery enthusiasts. Bring a buddy along or come solo to mingle with new friends who share your love for clay and creativity.

What's included:
- Instruction by a professional potter
- 2 hours of guided learning and making
- By the end of the taster class, you will have 2 masterpieces made by you (one thrown on the wheel and another one hand-built)
- You can choose if you would like to enjoy just the experience of the making process £45, or you can choose pots you would like to have fired at the end of the session (£2.50 per pot), and if you would like to decorate and glaze there is an extra fee (£10ph)
- You can come and pick up your item(s) within 21 days of your event day, and we keep it for another 30 days.

Once you have picked them up from our making studio, you also have the option to take them to our painting studio (booked separately) where you can decorate them. The charge for this is £10 per hour (an extra £5 for paint and sip).

“The three of us had a great time, thanks to Jess. She was very patient with me when I couldn't get it right! She explained everything really well, more than once!! We all enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere that Jess created. We await our fired pots with mixed feelings...will they be in one piece? Will they look good? It's all down to luck in my case!! Thank you Jess”

“I absolutely enjoyed the pottery class! It felt like therapy. As a complete beginner, I appreciated how the teacher explained everything so clearly and was always there to help or fix any mistakes. I also loved that the session included both hand-building and wheel-throwing. Thank you so much!”

“Bought this as a gift for my daughter. Mum (that's me) and her Dad went along for the experience also. Grace, the teacher was so lovely and very knowledgeable. She went through all the techniques of throwing on a wheel to which we all successfully managed to make two pots. We then went on to hand building, again Grace gave us all the info we needed to do this and we all made something of our own choice. I booked on-line for this taster and it was easy to do. In three weeks time we shall all go back and enjoy glazing our items. A perfect gift, especially if you want do an experience with family. It was great fun.”
