In this one-day workshop, you will learn to make your own unique pots using the ancient technique of throwing. Rhi will take you through the fundamental steps, demonstrating how to centre the clay, open the form, and pull up the walls.
You will be supported to centre and throw your own pots, and various techniques will be presented to find what works best for you. Rhi will also demonstrate techniques for shaping your pot. You will then have the opportunity to decorate with coloured slips.
You will leave this workshop with the fundamental skills to throw pots on the wheel. You can choose your favourite piece to be glazed (white or transparent) and stoneware fired following the class.
What you'll get
All materials and firings are included. One piece of work will be fired.
Firings take 6 weeks from the date of the workshop. You will be contacted as soon as your work is ready. Please collect and take it home as soon as possible.
Knowledge required
The workshop is suitable for complete beginners, or for novice or intermediate potters to practice techniques.
What to bring
Please bring an apron or wear clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty, and a hand towel. Clay will wash out of fabrics.
Please remove jewellery/watches and tie long hair back. We suggest trimming long nails for ease.
You are welcome to bring a lidded bottle of water with you, but we kindly ask that you do not bring food into the studio.
Our on-site café, Blend, is open until 4pm each day.

New Brewery Arts is Cirencester’s creative heart — a vibrant cultural charity housed in the historic buildings of the former Cirencester Brewery.
After the brewery’s closure in 1937, the site fell into disuse and was nearly lost to demolition. Thanks to a visionary local group, two of the remaining buildings were restored and transformed into craft workshops, opening as Cirencester Workshops in 1978.
Its mission is to champion craft — making it, learning it, and supporting the people who do it. Its courses, workshops, makers’ studios, 100% UK-made craft shop, and café all contribute to a vibrant creative hub at the heart of Cirencester.
