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).

Loved the class, it was well run. The organizer made it fun and gave clear instruction, not a large class size so had plenty of time to get around and help/guide individuals when needed It was also lovely to have the opportunity to throw and hand build in one class! I would definitely recommend and will return

Really great experience, supportive instructor and a relaxed setting where it was acceptable to just have fun and give it a go. Made 7 pieces between us to take away, extra cost £2.50 per piece to fire kiln which is reasonable.

Spent an enjoyable afternoon in Woburn learning the basics of wheel throwing and hand building. Controlling the wheel takes some getting used to! The teacher was excellent- helpful, patient and always there with a guiding hand and advice. The session also included hand building, which I was slightly better at! I would highly recommend the session as a fun afternoon - great therapy!

Fred was very patient and taught us what to do well, while still allowing us to make our own choices in what we were making. We enjoyed the wheel pottery as well as hand making session, the vibe in the room was very relaxing and calming. All of the staff we very helpful and kind. A fantastic experience!

Sorry don’t know their names but the guy and girl doing the session were excellent and helping but not taking over so we felt the work good or bad was ours! The guy took it slow showing us how to make a bowl or mug then left us to it. Give yourself time to get there as parking is a nightmare in Woburn Sands! They do charge £2.50 per item to fire your bits but that actually nice then any that don’t work out you aren’t paying for firing.
