TASTERS

Whether you’re completely new to ceramics or simply curious to try pottery, our tasters are a fun and relaxed introduction to working with clay. We offer both one-off workshops and 3-week taster courses, suitable for complete beginners.

​One-Off Throwing Taster

​​​

A relaxed 3-hour beginner workshop where you’ll get hands-on with the potter’s wheel and learn how to turn a simple lump of clay into your own handmade pots. We’ll guide you through the basics — centring clay, pulling up walls, and shaping different forms — with plenty of support from our tutors throughout. No experience needed, just come along and give it a go.
