This is a two day introductory class, where you will learn the very basics of throwing on the potters wheel. This will include weighing and preparing balls of clay before you start, then the basics of the wheel - from centering your clay, pulling, shaping and working with your tools, beginning to learn the techniques of throwing bowls and cylinders.

This is a fun and quick way to introduce yourself to throwing on the wheel and is suitable for complete beginners.

It will be messy and fun and is a great way to find out if you would like to do…

Things to remember

Please bring your own apron, or clothes you do not mind getting muddy. We would normally provide aprons but due to covid this is no longer possible. Clay will come off in the washing machine very easily. We will be taking your temperatures before entry and ask that you wear…

A really fantastic course which I gifted to my girlfriend -we both loved it! Tegan was a great teacher; really patient and helpful. We were pleased with what we made, got the bug and are eyeing up a repeat!

Holly - 5 November 2018

Luckily, I was part of a small class which meant the day was very hands on with a lot of tuition. The studio was a lovely a sight and the teacher was brilliant! We managed to get 6 of the items we made fired. Would definitely do it again and would recommend to anyone wanting to try pottery!
