This was a gift from my husband, and while I would never have chosen it for myself, it surprised me by how enjoyable it was! I love working with my hands, so I found it to be a very immersive craft, with plenty of new skills to learn. I was grateful for Natalie's clear teaching style, and her ability to bring together a group of strangers to enjoy a lovely day. We all came home with beautiful stained glass windows! I highly recommend this workshop. + more

I cannot wait to recommend this to others. It would make a fantastic gift or trip out… The teacher had a wealth of knowledge & was encouraging. We haven’t stopped talking about how much we loved this. Cannot recommend highly enough. Great for ‘bucket lists’ couples, families, team building. Fantastic. Fun & something different.

Our teacher Brandon took us through the technical part of the kintsugi process with well paced & clear instructions. The class size was 10 today & everyone was fully supported throughout with individual attention. Equipment & pottery bowls were of excellent quality. Brandon is an astute, affable and warm person who found the time to connect with everyone in the class. We loved how the 2 hour class became a journey of self discovery as we learn to cope with things we've never done before, make & rectify mistakes, accept & appreciate support and become 'masters of our destiny' with the act of restoring our bowls. Great job, Brandon and thanks for sharing your nuggets of wisdom! Amazing way to spend an afternoon; highly recommend this great 'hands on/heart on your sleeve' experience to gift or one to enjoy for yourself or to share. + more

In the back garden of a family home. Mother and daughter running classes. 6 wheels available for the throwing, close together but enough space each. Good tutorial and help when needed. Just enough time in the class to settle in, watch the tutorials and explanations, then to throw our own pot, dry and glaze it. Really enjoyed it! Can't wait to pick up the fired item.

Our 30th birthday present ideas in Manchester are the best!
If you're on a quest for unique 30th birthday gifts then we've got good news for you! Our experience gift vouchers are the perfect solution to your present woes, particularly if your special someone seems to have every material possession they could want. Tailored to suit a variety of interests, these experiences cater to everyone from budding artists to cocktail enthusiasts.
An experience gift isn't simply another item to be dusted and displayed; it's something far more special! It's an opportunity for the lucky giftee to create new memories while discovering a fresh hobby or passion. After all, turning 30 is a wonderful moment in life where self-discovery often takes centre stage. Perhaps your loved one has always had a desire to master pottery? Our ceramics classes offer them the chance to feel the clay between their fingers as they learn wheel throwing techniques and hand building skills. For those who adore unique craftsmanship, glassblowing classes will ignite their artistic flames while dried flower arranging courses tap into nature's beauty – there's something for everyone!
And let’s not forget about our gastronomic adventures! If your friend is a fan of culinary delights, our cooking workshops provide a unique birthday idea that will leave them with more than just delicious memories. They'll get hands-on experience preparing delectable dishes and acquire skills they can use in their own kitchen. Or perhaps they’re a keen mixologist? Our cocktail-making sessions are ideal for those who fancy themselves as budding home bartenders.

For the foodies among us, how about getting hands dirty with fresh pasta making? Or perhaps taking them on an aromatic adventure through Indian cooking? In Manchester, we also offer lessons on traditional Italian pizza creation. Imagine their faces lighting up at the prospect of throwing their own pizza dough! If they have a flair for flavours, consider getting them into a mixology workshop. They'll not only have a blast shaking cocktails but also impress future guests with their newly learnt skills.
The best part? Our experiences are designed for beginners – no previous skills are required!
