Workshops

Beginner wheel workshops

A morning at the wheel

Learn to throw in the studio, in a small group, with your pots fired and ready to collect.

What it is

Three hours, a wheel, and no rush

A relaxed introduction to throwing for complete beginners. You get your own wheel, a lump of clay, and as much help as you want. By the end of the morning you will have thrown a few pots of your own.

The morning

How it goes

  1. 1

    Settle in

    A cup of something and a quick look at how the wheel works.

  2. 2

    Centre the clay

    The first real skill. We take it slowly until it clicks.

  3. 3

    Throw your pots

    Make a few pieces of your own, with a hand whenever you need one.

  4. 4

    Leave them with me

    I trim, glaze and fire your best pots, and you collect them later.

Come and get your hands dirty

Spots are limited to four, so a quick email is the best way to book.
