This is a fun activity in Edinburgh

Step into our studio and let the magic of wheel throwing whisk you away in this immersive pottery experience! Perfect for individuals or friends, families, and couples looking to try something new, our Wheel Throwing Taster Class offers a delightful introduction to the art of ceramics. Whether you're an aspiring potter or simply looking for a fun activity, this is a great opportunity to feel the power of clay.

Guided by a qualified instructor with international training, you'll begin with a demonstration of wheel throwing techniques and then experience the thrill of molding your own pieces, transforming clay into cylinders and bowls. Thanks to customized, hands-on guidance and a relaxed atmosphere in groups of maximum four, you'll be able to create and experiment with confidence.

Even if you've never touched a pottery wheel before, you'll find the experience surprisingly accessible. The nature of the craft appeals to anyone who likes getting their hands dirty, and there is no pressure to be technically perfect. Reconnect with the simple joy of playing with mud and let creativity carry you! You might just discover a passion that leads you to one of our longer courses.

At the end of the session, you'll select your favorite one or two pieces to be glazed and fired, turning your creations into lasting mementos.

“Kiara was our teacher and she was fantastic. She gave clear instructions in the preview before we started and was very reassuring and professional throughout. We had booked the party for four and all four of us absolutely loved it. We think this is a great class which was really fun and it was great to learn something new we were able to make two pots each.”

“All 4 of us produced 2 bowls that we were happy with and had a great deal of enjoyment making, despite no experience of doing before. Chiara is an excellent teacher - she displays real enthusiasm - and breaks the whole process down to simple steps, and explains why each step is done that way. She could accommodate me being left-handed (wheel rotates in the opposite direction to you wierd right handed people). Absolutely recommend.”

“What a wonderful way to spend 2 hours. Chiara was great at guiding us newbies through the basics with wheel throwing, the fact that we all got 2 good pieces out of it was testament to her. We all had time to ask questions and get help. I loved getting to feel how the clay behaved (and occasionally misbehave). I'd definitely recommend a session at the wheel, it was so much fun!!”
