Weekend wheel-throwing workshops

Get your hands muddy this weekend

Two unhurried days at the pottery wheel. You'll centre, throw and trim your own bowls and cups, and we'll glaze and fire them for you.

Everything on the wheel

Turn up in clothes you don't mind getting dirty. We take care of the rest.

Every participant gets a wheel to themselves for the whole weekend, with a potter close by to guide your hands.

All in

Stoneware clay, aprons, sponges, wires and trimming tools are all included.

We keep the group small so nobody waits for help.

Pick your glaze colours and we fire your pieces in the studio kiln, ready to collect a few weeks later.

Breaks with hot drinks, because clay is best with a cuppa.

No experience needed. By Sunday afternoon you'll have a shelf of pots with your name on them.

Wedge the clay, find your rhythm on the wheel and learn the most important skill in pottery: getting clay to sit still in the middle.

Open, pull and shape your first cylinders and bowls. Some will flop. That's part of the fun.

Your leather-hard pots go back on the wheel to get a foot ring and a clean, finished profile.

Choose your favourite pieces and colours. We glaze-fire them and let you know when they're ready to collect.

I've never touched clay. Is that OK?

Absolutely. Most people who join us are complete beginners, and the workshop is built around them.

What should I wear?

Comfortable clothes you don't mind getting muddy, and short nails if you can. We provide aprons.

When can I take my pots home?

Pieces need drying, glazing and two firings, so they're usually ready to collect in about three weeks.

Can I book a workshop as a gift?

Yes, we offer gift vouchers. Get in touch and we'll sort one out.

Places are limited each weekend. Pick a date and we'll keep a wheel for you.
