  • Potter’s Wheel Session


    Indulge in your very own pottery throwdown under the guidance of our studio potter. We use jasper clay for this one hour, have a go experience – the only place in the world where Josiah’s unique creation is used.

     

    In the session you will learn:

    • Clay preparation including wedging
    • Centring the clay
    • Throwing a basic cylinder form with even thickness
    • A start on experimenting with different shapes
    • Removing pots off the wheel

     

    Materials and an apron will be provided.

     

    Pre-booking is essential (via the link at the top of this page).

     

    £25.00 per person (including postage).

     

    Available Wednesday to Sunday. Two people per time slot.

     

    As our safety measures do not allow the studio potter to fully assist with the throwing activity, we cannot guarantee that every finished pot will be able to survive a firing in the kiln, but don't worry, it's the taking part and having fun that is important!

     

    Please note that pot throwing is not currently available to those aged under 12 years. 

     

  • Weekend Have a Go Fun Session

    These sessions are great for children (aged six years and above) and adults who just want to have a go and experience throwing a pot on the potter’s wheel – we don’t take it too seriously and only fun is allowed!

     

    Sessions last around 15 minutes and if you produce something that our studio potters think will survive the kiln, you can pay to have it fired and delivered.

     

    Materials and an apron will be provided.

     

    Pre-booking is recommended or drop in on the day if you don’t mind a short wait. Book via the link at the top of this page.

     

    £10.00 per person (pay online).

     

    £5.00 per person for additional firing and postage (pay on the day).

     

    Open Saturday and Sunday, 10am to 4pm. Two people per time slot.

     

    Please note that these sessions are not available between 11.30am and 3pm.

    “Absolutely smashing day out. We brought an Experience Day for my mum’s birthday and it was fantastic. The staff are all very friendly and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. Within our experience we did pottery with Lewis and, well, he was amazing, very patient and helped us all have a wonderful time. The food was lovely and the tour was great too. Definitely recommend.”
