Pottery Classes, Wheel Throwing & Taster Sessions

We offer a range of pottery experiences including:
• Wheel throwing courses
• Hand-building and slab-built pottery
• Taster sessions — make your own mug or jug

Our classes are small, supportive and friendly — perfect if you’re trying pottery for the first time or looking to build confidence on the wheel.

All materials and firing are included, and we focus on helping you create pieces you’ll genuinely enjoy using.

Private Pottery Parties & Creative Experiences
