Inspired by global pottery techniques, my mission is to help you build genuine confidence in your artistic skills, whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced creator. In this wheel throwing class in Manchester, you'll enjoy dedicated, personalised tuition on the wheel.
Students will be able to enjoy dedicated, personalized tuition on the pottery wheel. These intimate sessions are perfect for learning the foundations of throwing pots, centring clay, and shaping your own functional vessels with step-by-step guidance -- no experience required!
What you'll learn:
  • How to wedge clay and prepare your wheel for smooth throwing.
  • The essential physical techniques I use to get your clay stable and balanced without strain.
  • My step-by-step methods for opening up the form and drawing up uniform, strong walls.
  • Tips for crafting smooth rims and refined shapes for functional pieces like bowls, cups, and small pots.
This class is perfect for solo creatives, couples, friends, or gift-givers wanting a memorable, hands-on experience and anyone wanting a mindful break to disconnect from screens and reconnect with their hands. You'll have your finished pieces after firing and glazing to cherish.
What you'll get
  • Clay, tools, glazes, and professional firing services are fully covered.
  • Direct, personalized guidance from me throughout the entire session.
  • Your finished work: 2–3 ceramic pieces, which I will personally trim, glaze, and fire for you to collect.

Your teacher


30 Years of Clay Expertise. Zero Experience Needed.
My creative roots began as a Special Educational Needs (SEN) art teacher, a space that taught me a beautiful truth: absolutely everyone can create something unique with the right guidance. After three decades of mastering ceramics and gathering inspiration from global pottery techniques, I focus entirely on helping you build genuine confidence in your artistic skills.
Whether you want to learn the art of throwing pots on the wheel, dive into tactile clay building, relax with pottery painting, or host a mobile private party at your own venue, I make the process simple and stress-free.
You do not need to be an "artist" to create something beautiful. Just bring your curiosity, and I will guide you every single step of the way.
