Throwing Courses

Our one-day courses are the perfect start for people wanting to try their hand at throwing clay on a potter’s wheel.

We run these courses in small class sizes to ensure you get as much one on one tuition as possible.

Practise throwing bowls and upright pots
One masterpiece to be fired & glazed *

* One piece per person fired and glazed to be collected at a later date. Any additional pieces charged at £10 per piece to be paid for on the day.

We also provide refreshments throughout the day and a tasty lunch with the group in our Kiln Café.
