Duration: 2.5h

  • Suitable for ages 15+. (See FAQ below for details.)
  • A perfect intro to wheel throwing for beginners or those needing a refresher.
  • Learn to centre, open, and pull up your pot with simple techniques and personal guidance.
  • Add handbuilt details and personalise your piece with underglaze paints, all in one session on the same day.
  • You can take your piece home to air dry—great as a decorative item, but delicate and not for practical use.
  • For a glossy, waterproof, food-safe finish, we provide kiln firing services for an additional £10. Ready to collect in 4 weeks.

Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)

The wheel throwing, hand-building, and painting activities are all scheduled for the same day. During the 2.5-hour session, we will use a torch to dry your hand-built pottery, so it will be ready for painting right away.

This session is suitable for ages 15 and older.

If you are unable to find a suitable date or time, and you have a group of at least 3 people, please fill out this Request to Book Form to request a class that fits your schedule.

For our DIY sessions, we offer the option for you to bring your own drinks or cold food items (excluding pizza) at an additional cost of £5 per person.

Please note that we can supply glass cups, so there’s no need for you to bring your own.
