Kids Throwing Club

Service Description

Does your kid love getting messy, making things and getting creative? Our fortnightly Kids Throwing Club is a chance to get stuck into clay, learn to use the pottery wheel and make something of their own! Each session is a chance to have a go at wheel throwing, learning how to centre clay, pull up the walls and shape it into pots, bowls and other creations. Kids will learn the basics of throwing on the wheel, with plenty of room to experiment, get messy and see what they can make! Sessions are relaxed, playful and suitable for all abilities, whether they've never touched a pottery wheel before or already have some experience. WHO CAN JOIN? Kids aged 5–15 are welcome! Parents and carers are welcome to get involved too! If you fancy having a go on the wheel alongside your child, just book yourself a place. You're also welcome to help your child without having a go yourself. We ask that a parent or carer stays for the session with younger children. Chairs are limited, so please book a place if you'd like to join in and have a go on the wheel yourself. WHAT'S INCLUDED? Everything you need is included in the price, including clay, materials, glazing and firing. We'll dry, glaze and fire your creations after the class, ready to collect from the studio around a month later. WHAT SHOULD WE BRING? Pottery can get a little messy (especially on the wheel!), so bring an apron if you have one. We'll have some spares at the studio too, and luckily clay washes out of clothes pretty easily! No pottery experience needed. Just come ready to get creative (and probably a little muddy)!
