Learning to throw pots is immensely satisfying. Come and immerse yourself in the tranquil surroundings of the North Cotswolds on this half-day wheel-throwing pottery workshop. Whether you're a complete beginner or you're keen to dig a little deeper to expand your technical knowledge and throwing skills, you'll find something to love in this fun ceramics class.
After a warm welcome, the workshop begins with a detailed demonstration on the potter's wheel given by one of Honeybourne's expert potters. You will then be allocated your own potter’s wheel for the duration of the class. Your instructor will guide the group through each of the five steps again as you get to grips with handling the clay. After you’re up and running, you can relax and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of throwing at your own pace, enjoying as much or little tuition as you'd like. You may create as many pots as you wish during the session, using an unlimited supply of clay — feel free to go wild!
At the end of the class, you can chose your favourite pot to take home (we'll pack it for you). You can also keep more pots for a small fee of £3 each. Let them dry naturally at home and paint them if you wish!
Please note:You may request midweek classes for groups smaller than 5. However, you will be subject to a minimum total cost.
What you'll get
All the materials and equipment needed to create at least one pot to take home, with unlimited clay to practice with during the session.
Knowledge required

Please bring a hair bobble to tie hair back.
Rings, watches & bracelets should ideally be removed before the class.
