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 £10 shipping fee, and we’ll handle the delivery to you.

When collecting your fired work, please bring any newspaper or bubble wrap from home to safely transport your items. Your pieces will be ready for collection within four weeks, and we’ll notify you as soon as they’re ready.

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

Me and my partner attended a private class as complete beginners. Our teacher Chiara was absolute brilliant from the start, friendly and explained everything really well! Our whole experience was really fun and we did manage to make some pieces! We would recommend trying this to everyone. Communication is great, the only thing we slightly struggled with was parking our car, so would recommend using public transport if able to! Thanks!

The class was honestly amazing. I booked the class for my girlfriend's birthday, and it went perfectly. We ended up being able to try 3 times with the allotted time we had. The teacher was absolutely amazing and took time to make sure we knew what we were doing, helped us when we needed, and made us feel very comfortable there. I can't recommend it enough. My girlfriend did have long nails, which made it a little difficult at certain stages but the teacher showed her how to use sponges during those times. All in all it was absolutely amazing and can't recommend it enough.

Very calming and informative class. There were so many tools to use and be creative with and there were even nail clippers for me when I realised my nails were too long to throw easily. My partner and I had a wonderful time.

Akiko was a very patient teacher and shared her expertise on working with clay. Hand moulding the clay gave us the skills to use the wheel and we both enjoyed getting hands on and trying this out. It gave us an insight into the skill required to use a pottery wheel! A great birthday treat experience which I'd highly recommend.
