Exciting news!

Join us for a relaxed, 2 hours open throwing or hand building session where you can explore the art of pottery on the wheel with light supervision.

Daily from 10am to 6pm - last entry is at 4pm

Whether you’re a beginner or looking to practice, you’ll have the freedom to create your pieces at your own pace.

You can choose to keep your work or have it recycled after two weeks. If you decide to keep it, book a separate glazing session or let us apply a transparent glaze for you.

Each session includes a 2kg clay allowance, you can purchase more clay for £3/kg.

Please make sure to write your name (the name under the booking) on a piece of paper and leave it inside your work. So you can recognise it.

*You are expected to have some basic experience before joining, as this is not a taught session.
