In this 1.5-hour session you'll dive into the exciting world of crafting bowls and cylinders using the potter’s wheel. Our super friendly and experienced tutor will be there to hold your hand through every spin!

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.

What’s included in the session?
- Hands-on guidance from our friendly, professional potters
- 2 hours of pure creative joy and learning
- Up to two stunning masterpieces created by you

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!

Luke was our teacher. Alongside being generally helpful, providing clear and consistent instruction, he brought a lot of humour and conversation to the session. Thankfully Luke was very happy to step in and provide guidance to prevent something from going awry, or to fix any glaring errors that we made. I enjoyed spinning the pots a lot and surprised myself by not being abjectly terrible at it, which I will have to chalk up to Luke.

Very friendly teacher, got to make bunch of clay stuff and if you want for a little extra you keep 2! It's difficult but satisfying

I had a wonderful experience attending the pottery class. The instructor was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful, making the learning process enjoyable and accessible for everyone. I particularly appreciated the detailed demonstration on coning and centering the clay, which set a strong foundation for the rest of the session. We started with a guided project, which was an excellent way to build confidence, and then had the opportunity to experiment on our own with clear and simple instructions. The balance of structure and creative freedom made this class truly memorable. Highly recommend!
