This is a fun activity in Bristol

If you've ever wanted to learn the basics of wheel-thrown pottery, this fun and relaxing taster session at Terra Cafe in Bristol is the perfect place to start. It's an ideal activity for anyone who is curious about pottery and loves the idea of creating something unique and beautiful from clay.

This workshop is designed specifically for beginners. You'll be guided by a friendly and experienced instructor who will show you how to centre, shape, and form your own cylinders and bowls. With a small class size of only four people, you will receive plenty of one-to-one support and guidance throughout the two-hour session.

You will learn the fundamental skills of throwing on a pottery wheel and experience the unique, mindful process of working with clay. At the end of the class, you can choose your favourite pieces to be fired and glazed, ready for you to collect 6 weeks later.

You'll leave this session with a sense of achievement and a newfound appreciation for the craft, having been personally guided through the rewarding process of making your very first pot.

Something unique about our space is we also sell lovely speciality coffee & matcha, so whilst you watch your instructors demo you can indulge in a lovely coffee and treat if you like!

*Please note for a one-on-one private throwing class we can only teach these during weekdays (not evenings or weekends). The public class is for 11+ please book private class for 7-10 years old.

“Highly recommend! We had a lovely time doing the throwing pottery class. Our teacher was amazing at explaining and helping as it was most of the group's first time. We all got to make 3 separate clay pieces each and we'll decided to choose the additional glazing options. Great family day out!”

“We had a wonderful afternoon throwing on the wheel pottery class with Gabbie. She was so calm, encouraging, knowledgeable and accommodating. She adapted the activity for my elderly mother in law and was so kind. We each threw three small pots and were delighted with our creations! It was so relaxing and grounding. I had the class as a birthday gift ans I love watching Pottery Throwdown on TV and the process of booking was simple. Communication with the teacher was excellent and she was so helpful when discussing disabled parking and access. I highly recommend this if you want to try throwing on the wheel. Great fun!”

“Me and my partner went to a private class for two which was run by Gabi. Both of us were beginners and everything was explained to us and demonstrated so well. I managed to make 4 in the time and he made 3 so plenty of time to practice and still come away with a few items to take. Defiantly would recommend, we are already planning to book to go along and glaze them!”

“Francesca was so lovely! She was very encouraging and explained her art in a super understandable way. My partner and I came for a solo session and she went into a lot of detail on the techniques and quirks of pottery. We’ll be returning to glaze our creations and look forward to coming back!”

“Such an excellent class run by Ella, who was so knowledgeable, calm and an excellent encouraging tutor. A really small group of four meant we all had plenty of Ella’s time. A great, productive couple of hours and I would love to return,”
