Ready to have a go at making a couple of beautiful pieces of pottery and have great fun in the process?
During the 1.5-hour class, you'll be able to make two pots and decorate them using liquid clay coloured with oxides. This slipware technique eliminates the teacher having to decorate for you or for you to return later to decorate your pots. The use of earthenware clay brings an extra warmth to the finished pieces.
Once you've finished decorating, Chris will fire the pots and add a clear glaze. After another round of firing, your pots will be ready to collect in 3-4 weeks or can be posted to you at an additional cost.
Get ready for a transformative experience as you immerse yourself in the art of pottery-making. Let your creativity flow and enjoy the process of creating unique pieces of pottery. At the end of the class, you'll have two beautifully decorated pots to take home and cherish.
Please note that weekend classes are for 2 or more people.
What you'll get
  • Each attendee will get 2 prepared, centred lumps of clay, ready to create your own bowls.
  • You will then get to decorate the pots. All materials are provided, as well as the firing and glazing of your pots.
  • Aprons are provided.

  • 5/5 from Steven Parker, attended Aug 2026: Its was such a great experience! Id recommend this to anyon even slightly interested in pottery throwing, it was very well taught and a very rewarding session. We're looking forward to seeing the fired bowls we made! We'll be sure to visit again for a longer class next time!
  • 5/5 from Inglis Thomson, attended Jul 2026: Excellent experience. Chris is a wonderful teacher. Every step explained in detail before trying my hand. Will definately recommend the experience to friends.
  • 5/5 from Philip Houldey, attended Jul 2026: My partner and I had the absolute best time at our private pottery class today with Chris! If you are looking for a fun, hands-on, and memorable activity, we cannot recommend this enough. Chris was a fantastic teacher—incredibly patient, encouraging, and knowledgeable. He guided us through the entire process and gave us plenty of time on the potter's wheel to actually form our own pots. We also got to try out the slip technique to decorate our creations, which was a brilliant and creative touch. We both thoroughly enjoyed every single minute of the class and left with huge smiles on our faces. Thank you so much, Chris, for making this such an exceptional and special experience for us. We highly recommend this class to anyone!
  • 5/5 from Rowan Matthews, attended May 2026: Absolutely fantastic class with Chris. This was our first attempt at pottery throwing and the level of intent, time taken and clear passion Chris has for the craft was apparent. We felt completely at ease and thoroughly enjoyed our time. We’ll definitely look at booking in again for a more in depth class and even dabble in the glass works Chris’s partner leads.

  • 5/5 from Pete, attended Oct 2025: Had a fantastic experience here for a couple of hours. There was just two of us so we had lots of Chris’s time. He showed us step by step how to get going and create something that was actually not disastrous like I expected. We both made two items each and then decorated them. Really enjoyed it. Fantastic teacher!!
  • 5/5 from Lara Smart, attended Oct 2025: This was such a fantastic workshop, I learnt more about throwing and general ceramics practice in 1.5 hours than I have over the course of many different ceramics courses. Would highly recommend, so enjoyable and therapeutic!
  • 5/5 from Deborah Hamilton, attended Oct 2025: Really enjoyed our visit. The teacher was very knowledgeable and patient. Had a really great time.
  • 5/5 from Katie Butler, attended Jun 2025: Pottery throwing - group of 3. Our teacher Chris was a lovely gent, very knowledgeable and patient. He demonstrated and explained the whole process before we got started, gave instruction and advice throughout the class. Gave us space to be creative, none of our pots looked the same and we each made multiple pieces, a real joyful learning experience- twofold with the colouring process - the ability to add colour to our work was wonderful, excited to see the final products!
  • 5/5 from James Barratt, attended Jun 2025: Absolutely fantastic teacher. Our group had a fantastic time having had no prior experience at all. Would highly recommend giving it a go.

I have been creating pottery for the last 25+ years and now teach approximately 400 people a year from 1.5 hour taster sessions up to whole days or a series of classes for those wanting to learn more techniques. My specialism is slipware pottery which means that the colours that you see come from the clay itself, with the addition of various oxides, and a clear glaze is then added afterwards. This is ideal for classes because you can decorate the raw pot as soon as it has been made.
