money_off
Order on or before 15 Nov, for a discounted price of £39 per guest (usually £49).

Just a five-minute walk from Ancoats, discover pottery at the New Dawn Pottery studio in Manchester.
Perfect for complete beginners, this relaxed 2-hour wheel throwing class is the ideal choice if you've always wanted to learn to throw a pot on the wheel in a fun, supportive environment.
Beginner-friendly! No previous pottery experience is required.
IMPORTANT – AGE RESTRICTION
Our studio is strictly for ages 16 and over. Children under 16 are not permitted in the studio, including those accompanying adults.
Please note that no refunds will be issued if you arrive with a child under 16 and are unable to attend your session.
Experience the magic of turning a lump of clay into your own handmade piece of art. You'll throw under the guidance of one of our friendly local teachers, who has plenty of tips to share, and you'll come away with the foundational skills for making beautiful pots on the wheel.
Beyond the new skill, there's the calm — wheel throwing is genuinely meditative, and two hours of it is a proper reset. Step into this warm and welcoming studio and leave with your own handmade pottery.
There's space for 8 people per class, so everyone gets their own wheel and individual attention. It's ideal for date nights, birthdays, friends, or coming on your own to try something new in Manchester.
At the end of the session, choose your favourite pieces to be glazed and fired in our kiln for £7.50 each, with a wide range of glaze colours to pick from. Finished ceramics are food-safe and usually ready to collect within 4-6 weeks. We can post them to you if you can't get back to the studio.
Please note
  • Please arrive on time — if you're late you may miss the demo.
  • No liability is accepted for misuse of the studio space.

Recent reviews of Beginners Wheel Throwing Taster Class

  • 5/5 from Stefanie Murphy, attended Oct 2026: We had a fantastic experience with our teacher Dulce who was so patient in explaining the whole thrown down process. The set up was perfect for this group of 6 and we made some lovely pieces that we are so proud off. This was a gift for my 12 year old son who has now ticked this off his bucket list. Thank you!
  • 5/5 from Andy Wadsworth, attended Oct 2026: The demonstration was excellent and well explained. Constant guidance throughout and very positive feedback.
  • 5/5 from Bee Lloyd, attended Oct 2026: What a fabulous intro to handling clay. Loved our 2 hours spent their this afternoon if flew by such a lovely tutor super patient and generous with her time. We will definitely return
  • 5/5 from David Miley, attended Oct 2026: Really enjoyed this taster class, went with three members of my family and we all had a very enjoyable afternoon, the teacher was very good and gave a demonstration of wheel throwing before we started, she also helped us out as we made mistakes, it was harder than I thought it would be but we had a good teacher to guide us. Can definitely recommend this course.
  • 5/5 from David Levi, attended Oct 2026: Great instructor and lots of fun!
  • 5/5 from Neil Darlington, attended Oct 2026: My wife and i really enjoyed this taster course. Lauren was an excellent teacher, very patient with the class and happy to help. To anyone wanting to have a go i would say "do it" we threw half a dozen pots and they came out very passable for beginners, i promise you, you can do it. It was loads of fun.
  • 5/5 from Beth Robins, attended Oct 2026: I had a lovely time trying something new and would recommend this class for anyone looking to give pottery a go with no previous experience. The 2 hour session had a 15 minute demo, over an hour to try making your own pieces (I managed about 3 things, mostly vaguely plate/bowl shaped) and then about 20 minutes at the end to tidy up. It absolutely flew by! It was really satisfying to end the session with something I wanted to take home with me and there were lots of choice for glazes if you did want to pay for a piece to be fired as a memento. Lauren, our teacher, was friendly and helpful and was willing to let us try things, offering guidance where asked, including some tips for myself as a lefty with longer fingernails.
  • 5/5 from Darren Bamforth, attended Oct 2026: Thoroughly enjoyed the first class, was surprised how quickly I learnt the process. Very easy and teacher really informative and support throughout.
  • 5/5 from Mandip Jhaj, attended Oct 2026: We did this as a work team treat and it was great. We had lots of fun and the teacher was really good in terms of telling us how to do the relevant steps in the right order which made the experience all the more better. Would highly recommend!

Kudos to the teacher(forgot her name) she was lovely. Have a look at what I did for my first class
  • 5/5 from Jo Hornby, attended Oct 2026: A really enjoyable few hours spent having a go at making some pots.

A really great thing to do with friends we found and we’re all looking forward to getting our pots back and displaying them proudly!

  • 5/5 from Chantelle Rose, attended Sep 2026: Had a great time at this class-Laura our teacher was very informative and patient!! Laura demonstrated what we needed to do and then let us play by going through everything again, step by step-when it went wrong, Laura knew exactly what to do-lots of fun and laughs!! Took my teenage daughter as a surprise treat-teenage stare when I told her what we were doing….had a brilliant time and wants to go again. No pressure at all to keep anything and pay to have them glazed, though if you do decide to, you get to choose the colour. Would definitely go back- really good couple of hours.
