TASTER SESSIONS

In our 3-hour wheel throwing taster session you will be introduced to the fundamentals of throwing pottery on the potter's wheel. You will learn how to centre clay on the wheel, bring up the walls, and shape the walls out into various shapes.

​

WHEN?We offer taster sessions on some Saturdays and Sundays from 2-5pm. Click the "Book" button below to see what dates are available.

​

WHAT TO WEAR

Clay and glaze both rinse out of clothes very easily, but wear something you don't mind getting a bit messy in. Also, please bring an apron if you have one. If not, we have spare ones you can use.

 

FINISHED WORK

At the end of the session, you will choose up to 2 pieces which you would like to have turned and fired. You will also choose a glaze colour for each piece. Neighbourhood technicians will turn, glaze and fire your pieces, and they will be ready for collection a few weeks after the session. You will receive an email when they are ready to be collected.

​​​​

NOTE: Participants must be 16 or over or accompanied by a guardian.
