Expect to whip up to 2 masterpieces during this class— it's a real blast for beginners! This is an open group session, with a maximum of 8 fellow pottery enthusiasts learning alongside you. Bring a buddy along or come solo to mingle with new friends who share your love for clay and creativity.

Here's the icing on the clay cake: You have options! Enjoy the sheer joy of the making process for £45. Want to keep them? For £5 per person we will fire the items in our kiln. Want them decorated and glazed? Come back for an additional session at just £10 per hour to paint your ceramics, or choose one colour to glaze them in for £5 - we'll glaze and fire them once decorated!

If you get them fired, you can swing by to pick up your awesome creations after 21 days of your class date. Once it's been 21 days, we’ll keep them safe for an extra 30 days until you come and get them!

I enjoyed the experience very much. I have done some slab building pottery but had never used a wheel before. The instructor was a lovely young woman who explained the technique well and was there when help was needed. I'm sorry I've forgotten her name (Scottish, from Glasgow). Guiseppe, who she said was her boss, was also there to lend a hand. I was pleasantly surprised that I managed to make two small items without anything breaking or flying off the wheel. Probably largely thanks to their help. Recommended.

Our tutor Emily ran a brilliant class introducing us to pottery throwing. She was very clear in her step by step instructions and very patient towards the eight people in our class in helping us to make 2 pieces. We would highly recommend this class. It was great fun.

Emily was amazing and really helpful; we made a vase and a little jug and can't wait to see them in their fired glory. The feel of clay under your fingers, forming shapes is gorgeous.

We thoroughly enjoyed our pottery session. The tutors were friendly and created a relaxed learning environment. The lesson included demonstrations and clear instructions on what to do. We were supported each step of the way and encouraged to have fun with the clay. We all came away saying we wished we could have stayed longer and inspired to do pottery again soon. Highly recommended.
