What you'll do

Get Behind the Pottery Wheel

Settle in, grab your drink, pop your apron on and get ready.

See How It's Done

Watch a quick demonstration from us, who are professional potters, before getting stuck in with your own clay.

Follow Along Step by Step

Learn the techniques step by step, following us as we throw your first piece all together.

Create Whatever You Fancy

Once you've got the basics down, let your creativity take over. Make a bowl, mug, candlestick holder!

Bring Your Favourite Tipple

It's BYOB, so bring along whatever drinks you fancy and enjoy pottery your way. We've got cups for you to use!

Guidance Whenever You Need It

Need a hand? Our professional teachers are always on hand to offer guidance, and if a piece goes wonky, they can help you rescue it or you can simply start again.

Pick Your Favourites & Add Blue Glaze

Enjoy unlimited clay throughout your class, then choose your favourite creations to keep, glaze and turn into finished pottery. Fancy a bit of colour? Have them hand-dipped in our beautiful Royal Blue stoneware glaze for £6 per piece.

Fired Twice at 1220°C

Your pottery is professionally glazed and fired twice at 1220°C, making it food-safe, oven-safe and microwave-safe. We're the only studio to offer this high-quality firing, which makes pieces super strong and built to last!

Creations Made by You

Around six weeks later, your finished pottery will be ready to collect. We'll let the original booker know by email and text when it's ready. Leave with something you've made, great memories and a new-found appreciation for clay.

Most Importantly - Have Fun

This class is about having fun, learning some techniques, meeting new people, and doing something away from screens!
