Our 1hr session is a quick taster session for those who have never thrown before.

 

You'll get a ball of clay and our turors will guide you through the basic steps to make a pot, you will then get a second ball of clay and some time to practice on the wheel yourself.

 

There is plenty of hands on support & verbal prompts throughout.

 

You will make 1-2 pots during the session

 

Our 2 hour session starts as the 1st, but then we move on to explore other shapes. You will make up to 4-5 pots.

 

We provide aprons, Dress in comfy clothes, you will be squatting around a wheel so it's best not to wear skirts/dresses :) 

Short nails make it easier to throw.

Unfortunatley life events are not a rare occurrence for us & as a small business we can no longer sustain the loses that these incur. We do appreciate that sometimes-unforeseen circumstances may mean you cant attend your session. We are happy for you to send a friend/family to take your place in this event.
