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).

We had a great session. Amanda, our tutor was excellent. Having never done it before we chose the 2 hour class with throwing and hand building. For others who haven’t thrown before I would recommend the 1.5 hr class focussed only on the throwing/wheel as that was the best bit. Throwing is so much harder than it looks but under Amanda’s guidance I made two pots that will actually be useful! It was so satisfying to see the improvement between throw 1 and throw 2. An excellent mindful activity!

It was the first time we tried building something ourselves without the wheels, and really enjoyed it! The second part of the course was on the wheel, and we both learned a lot. We're looking for forward to picking up our creations and paint them. I really recommend this course/taster as it's really relaxing and great fun! Please note that this is fully wheelchair accessible! ♿

Whatever your reservations are, all you need to know is that this is an excellent way to spend a few hours with your friend, partner or family member. It's loads of fun, perfect for people looking not to take it too seriously and equally, the freedom to be a perfectionist, with a great teacher who let's you work in your own way. You'll also learn vital basics of throwing. Which as I now know, is not as easy as it looks in the movies. I went with my partner and it was a delightful morning.
