15 hours total (over 5 dates) Class size 1 to 4 guests       £250 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Monday 19 - Friday 23 October | 2 - 5pm
This class runs over 5 consecutive days.
With five consecutive days to practise, repeat, and refine, you’ll have the time to build confidence and find your rhythm at the wheel. Great for seeing quick improvement!
We're all about having fun and getting hands-on, so come prepared to dive into the world of clay! Wear something comfortable that you won’t mind getting a little clay on, and an apron is always a good idea. If you are able to bring your own, fantastic; if not, we have them at the studio. Short nails make working with clay easier, and if you’ve got long hair, tying it back will keep it out of your way.
Why Choose These Courses?
  • Personalised Instruction: With a maximum of 12 participants, you’ll receive plenty of one-on-one guidance and hands-on practice from our experienced instructors.
  • Skill-Focused: These sessions are about honing your technique and building confidence, not just filling shelves with pots.
