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.

“Gaby has been a great teacher and I would really reccomend it. it is important to bear in mind that is not possible to collect the ‘artifacts’ on the day so make sure you can come back. In alternative they offer a posting service.”

“Had the best time again! I've been previously but this time I was taught by Fran! She went through all the steps thoroughly and really embraced us all slowing down to create exactly what we wanted! Lovely atmosphere and can't wait to go back and glaze! For people who enjoy creative activities I highly reccomend A coming to Terra Cafe and B using class bento to book !”

“This was a really interesting and entry-level class with a super supportive teacher. She explained and demonstrated all of the steps, took us through our own initial attempts at pottery and was thorough and patient when we were developing our technique. Would definitely recommend!”

“Gaby was welcoming and friendly, she explained everything really clearly and was on-hand to answer any questions and offer support when my pot started to collapse! It was a really great course, super enjoyable, relaxed and fun. We look forward to coming back to glaze our creations in a few weeks' time”

“This was my first time throwing clay with my partner, and we had an amazing experience!! We opted for the private class service, which gave us the privacy, attentive care, and therapeutic experience we were looking for. From the very beginning, the atmosphere was pleasant. We were warmly welcomed and offered beverages. They inquired about our prior knowledge or experience and followed up with a demonstration. When it was our turn, our teacher, Gaby, guided us throughout the entire 2-hour session. It was so much fun! I highly recommend it, whether you’re a beginner or not. The time was just enough to create a few pieces and learn a new skill. Thank you, Gaby, for the unforgettable experience :))”
