Because this is a private experience using one tabletop wheel, you will take turns throwing.

It also means you both get 100% of your instructor's dedicated guidance when it is your turn on the wheel!Together, you will learn the absolute basics of wheel throwing, guided step-by-step through the core techniques. We will show you how to centre your clay, master the art of pulling up the walls, and shape your pieces. You will both focus on creating foundational forms like classic cylinders and bowls. No previous experience is needed at all—just bring your curiosity, a willing pair of hands, and a space at home to share a wonderfully creative experience together!Perfect for:

Please note:

• We bring the pottery studio to you! Our pricing is fully inclusive of mobile studio setup, heavy equipment transport, and the dual-firing process of your finished ceramic pieces within 15 miles of Wallington.
• Although you will practise creating many forms during the session, the price includes the firing of two pieces per person. You are welcome to request the firing of additional pieces for an extra £5 per piece.
• Venue requirements: As this is a mobile workshop, the host is responsible for providing a suitable space. You will need enough room to sit comfortably and work, as well as space for the teacher to demonstrate techniques. A small dining table will be suitable.
• Arrival and set-up: The teacher will arrive in good time and be ready to start the workshop promptly at the scheduled start time. The host should ensure that the venue is accessible and ready for set-up at least 20 minutes before the workshop is due to begin, with the required space clear and available for the teacher to prepare.
• Please consider the flooring: Working with clay can be messy, so a venue with hard flooring is recommended. If the space has carpet or other flooring that could be damaged, please ensure it is adequately protected before the workshop begins.

• All equipment and materials are provided – just show up ready to create.
• After the workshop, your pottery will be fired twice: first to harden it, then glazed and fired again to finish. Allow up to 4 weeks for your pieces to be ready.
• Collection and delivery: You'll be notified when your pieces are ready. Collect from our designated point at no extra charge, or we can post them to you via tracked mail for an additional delivery fee.
• A note about ceramics: Your pieces are made from natural materials, and the firing process can be unpredictable. Pieces may occasionally crack, warp, or show colour variations from the samples. Pieces unsuitable for food use due to construction issues aren't eligible for refund. If your piece is damaged during firing or transport, a £5 refund per piece will be offered. The class fee itself is non-refundable.
