Pottery Experiences
Short Taster Workshops enable you to sample the wonders of clay, whether hand building or throwing on the potter's wheel. These experiences provide the perfect introduction to Pottery whilst focussing on the 'fun element' side of things.
Upon arrival we’ll run through the basics before demonstrating pottery throwing on the wheel to make a small Pot. You’ll then have time on the wheel to make a small pot (or two) before moving on to embellish with clay shapes. Allow up to 1.5 hours in total for this experience. (Suitable for up to 4 people) a fun ‘taster’ pottery experience for those who have never tried a potters wheel and always fancied ‘having a go’.
We’re on hand to offer as much or as little assistance required. Aprons are provided but we recommend wearing clothes you won’t mind getting a little messy. Leave your creation with us to kiln fire. Once ready we will post via courier, or you may collect if local
This is a Handbuilding only experience (no Wheel work)
Learn the basics of pinching, coiling and slab building with clay and make your own clay art using the studio equipment and materials provided.
Creations are left with us to kiln fire. Once ready we will then wrap and post within the UK for a small cost, or make available for collection.
Allow up to 1.5 hrs for this experience - suitable for up to 6 people from the same group
