Pottery workshop for one | Intro to wheel throwing - £80.00

1.5 Hours | 1:1 Experience

Discover the art of pottery throwing with this fun and relaxing 1.5-hour session, designed to suit all experience levels. Whether you’re completely new to pottery or looking to build on your existing skills, this workshop offers the perfect introduction to wheel-throwing.

If you’ve always wanted to try pottery but aren’t ready to commit to a long-term course, this is the perfect opportunity to give it a go. You’ll receive personalised guidance tailored to your pace and interests.

What will I learn?
In this session, I’ll guide you step-by-step through the basics of wheel-throwing. You’ll learn how to:

  • Prepare and center your clay on the wheel, a fundamental skill for creating pottery.
  • Open up the clay and begin shaping it into a hollow form.
  • Pull up the walls to build height and structure.
  • Shape your piece, experimenting with forms such as a small pot, bud vase, bowl, or trinket dish.

This hands-on process allows you to experience the joy of working with clay and developing a sense of control and creativity on the potter’s wheel.

What will I make?
By the end of the session, you’ll choose your favorite four items to be glazed, and fired. These finished pieces will be ready for collection in approximately 4-6 weeks. If needed, postage can also be arranged to deliver them directly to you.

Please keep in mind that this is an introductory session designed to help you get comfortable with the wheel-throwing process. Pottery is a skill that takes time and practice, so don’t worry if your creations aren’t perfect—it’s all about having fun and enjoying the experience!

What should I bring?

  • Wear old clothes you don’t mind getting messy.
  • If possible, keep your nails short to make handling clay easier.
  • Bring a hair tie if you have long hair, as it’s best to keep it out of the way.
