This is a fun activity in Edinburgh

This hands-on wheel-throwing class (Max 4 students) is perfect for beginners eager to explore the wonderfully tactile world of clay and is open to all skill levels. ViViVi Studio offers a step-by-step approach to help you create your own beautifully designed pottery. Whether you’re completely new to throwing or looking to refine your skills, this class is ideal for you.

In this session, you’ll master essential throwing techniques and craft your very own piece of functional art to cherish.

While the throwing process is often therapeutic, it also offers valuable lessons as you work with the spinning wheel. Beyond learning the techniques, you’ll develop the ability to adapt to changes and challenges, fostering a mindset that embraces problem-solving. At ViViVi Studio, we’re committed to providing a mindful and enriching experience, allowing you to enjoy the calm and creativity of working with your hands.

We ensure you have everything you need to bring your vision to life. As you shape the clay, you’ll experience the joy of creating something uniquely yours. ViViVi Studio provides all the materials for throwing, encouraging your personality to shine through every creative decision you make.

At the end of the class, you can decide whether you’d like to fire your best pot (1 piece per person). Your favorite piece can be glazed and fired, or you can choose the eco-friendly option to recycle it. For any additional pieces you’d like to keep, there will be a cost of £10 per piece. If you’d like your items shipped, there will be an additional £15 shipping fee, and we’ll handle the delivery to you. The firing process can take up to two months after the session. We will let you know as soon as your piece is ready for collection. (*When collecting your fired work, please bring any newspaper or bubble wrap from home to safely transport your items.)

Join us for a meaningful and relaxing journey into the art of pottery!

Lovely couple of hours at Vivi studio. Akiko is a great teacher. Our pieces turned out far better than expected for our first attempt at pot throwing. I booked a private class for my husband and I’s anniversary and thought that going for the private option was well worth it. To get more attention from the tutor. Excited to see how our pieces look once them come out of the kiln . Thank you Akiko!

This class exceeded expectations, Chiara was such a patient and knowledgeable teacher. I didn’t expect to end the class with any usable item being a first timer in using the wheel but left the class with two items! Would definitely recommend and I look forward to giving it another go. Thanks Chiara!

Absolutely loved the class, my sister and I are fans of the great pottery throw down and have been wanting to try throwing for a long time. Teacher was excellent, explained techniques thoroughly and was really knowledgeable and helpful. I made two pots - hopefully they will survive the firing process. Easy to book and great communication after booking and prior to class.

Akiko is a wonderful teacher - friendly, patient and very knowledgeable. As a complete novice she made me feel at ease and enjoyed a great 2 hour lesson where I made my first pots. Will dereturn for a future lesson. Excellent value and fun. Stacey

Excellent, 10/10 recommend Akiko’s class. I booked a private couple’s class and we had a beautiful experience. Akiko’s studio was stunning, and her vibes were immaculate. Communication has been top-notch right from the start when I was booking us in, up to when our pieces were ready to be collected.
