This is a fun activity in Salford, Manchester

Get behind the wheel in this two-hour wheel throwing class in Manchester, taught by an experienced potter in a warm, hands-on studio. You'll learn the core techniques of throwing, get properly stuck into the clay, and discover exactly why this craft is so addictive.

- Learn from an experienced maker in a friendly, welcoming space
- Embrace the wobbles – wonky is beautiful, and every attempt teaches you something new
- Everything's provided, from professional tools to top-quality clay
- Allow 25 minutes at the end to clean down your wheel, a satisfying ritual that's all part of the process

By the end, you'll have had a proper go at a craft that takes real skill to master, with a fresh appreciation for the artistry behind every handmade piece.

Please note: your pots will be fired and glazed, ready to collect in around four weeks. Collection is simple, and any uncollected work is donated to charity. Free parking is available, or you're just a 12-minute walk from Cornbrook tram stop.

“Spent two hours there today. I really enjoyed it. Most of us were new to the wheel but Merida the teacher was so patient and kind. I highly recommend a visit. Can’t wait to collect what we made in 4 weeks time.”

“Merida was brilliant. She explained everything so well and she is really easy to listen to. You could tell she is very knowledgeable in this area. Very helpful throughout if you needed a helping hand or a bit of advice. 2hrs absolutely flys by but you do have enough time to make a few pots in that time. Excited to see if they survive the kiln and we will definitely be back to try our hand at this again. We LOVED it!!”

“Great! I think to really practice and get an outcome that I was more pleased with, I'd have benefitted from the session being an hour longer. Still very fun and I'd definitely return”

“Really enjoyable class in a cute venue. The teacher was very supportive and helpful. Great that you could go at your own pace and there was an endless supply of clay for starting over when, inevitably, it all went very wrong”

“I had a delightful time at the pottery taster on May 17th. Merida inspired realistic levels of confidence and saw to it that no-one floundered too much. My Goblet awaits firing. I may not become a full- time Potter after all, but will reflect on a fun afternoon. Thank you all.”
