Celebrate Mother’s Day with a relaxed and creative pottery wheel experience in Manchester, complete with tea, cake, and a glass of prosecco. In this small-group workshop, each guest will have their own wheel and plenty of time to enjoy the process of learning to throw clay.
Guided by an experienced tutor, you’ll create several pieces during the session before selecting your favourite two to be professionally fired and glazed. No prior pottery experience is needed, just curiosity and creativity!
What to expect:
  • Learn the basics of pottery wheel throwing.
  • Enjoy your own wheel in a small group of up to five guests.
  • Create multiple pieces and select your best two to be fired and glazed.
  • Relax with tea, prosecco, and locally made cakes during the session.
  • Friendly guidance and plenty of time to experiment with clay.
Your finished pieces will be ready for collection in around 3–4 weeks, or can be posted to you if needed. You'll take away new skills and some lovely new memories -- plus your finished projects after firing!
What you'll get
  • Choose 2 items made on the day to be glazed and fired.
  • These will need to be collected approximately 3-4 weeks after the workshop.
  • Cake, tea, and Prosecco are included.
Knowledge required
Beginner-friendly.
What to bring
Wear everyday clothes that wash easily, tie long hair back, and it's best to have short nails.
  • We will provide aprons and hand towels to keep you clean.
  • Clay will wipe away with water if you are heading out afterward!

My name is Georgie Dixon, I'm a ceramics artist based in Manchester and I've taught pottery wheel classes and hand-building workshops for over 10 years in Brighton, Melbourne, Australia and Manchester.
I have recently opened Familia Studios, a pottery school in Ardwick, Manchester. We host 2 hour wheel intro classes, 6-week course, a Friday night Ceramics Social and seasonal one-off workshops centred around specific themes.
The friendly space at Familia Studios is big, open and thoughtfully designed - perfect for a party or special day out.
