This introductory pottery workshop provides a practical introduction to the fundamentals of wheel throwing. Designed specifically for beginners, the session offers an opportunity to learn and practise the core techniques used by potters to create forms on the wheel.
The workshop begins with a tutor-led demonstration, introducing the key stages of the throwing process and the tools used in the studio. Participants will then work at their own potter's wheel, applying these techniques through guided hands-on practice.
Throughout the session, an experienced pottery tutor will provide individual instruction and feedback, helping participants develop an understanding of the five fundamental stages of wheel throwing: preparing and centring the clay, opening the form, pulling the walls, shaping, and finishing. Unlimited clay is provided, allowing learners to repeat the process and build confidence through practice and experimentation.
As with any practical skill, early attempts may be uneven or collapse during making. These outcomes form a valuable part of the learning process, helping participants understand the properties of clay and develop greater control on the wheel.
This is a make-and-take workshop. At the end of the session, participants may select one piece to take home on the day at no additional charge (additional pieces £4 each). Work can be air-dried at home and decorated if desired, providing a lasting reminder of the skills explored during the workshop.
Please note you may request midweek classes however you may be subject to a minimum total spend depending on group size.

Recent reviews of Potter's Wheel Taster Experience

  • 5/5 from Jennifer Foxley, attended Sep 2026: We had a fantastic time at the pottery class! Alan, our instructor, was brilliant — really friendly, patient and knowledgeable, and made the whole experience great fun. The 1.5-hour class was the perfect length. We’d definitely recommend it and would love to do another class!
  • 5/5 from Claire Jones, attended Jul 2026: What a lovely class - just enough teaching time for a beginner to get going and then lots of time to experiment. Planning on going to back to do more.
  • 5/5 from Julie Overton, attended Jul 2026: A wonderful class and experience. Would highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Hilary Crook, attended Mar 2026: This was an excellent experience which my daughter bought me as a mother's day gift. There was plenty of time to have a go at making our own pots after being given tuition. The setting was lovely and the whole morning very relaxed. We could try things or stick to what we had been shown and came away with one of our creations. If we wanted to take other pots away there was a small charge. It was an excellent way to try pottery and I definitely think I'll be booking on for one of the other workshops.
  • 5/5 from Lark Moerschell, attended Feb 2026: Had a really lovely time! Was a lot of funny and easy to get into, would be interested in coming back in the future :)

  • 5/5 from Tami Matthews, attended May 2025: Both teachers were so funny but made sure you knew exactly what to do and what could happen when things go wrong. Thoroughly enjoyable experience. Gift cards easy to get and well worth the money. Am definitely going again.
  • 5/5 from Claire Pedrick, attended Apr 2025: Great fun. Teachers were clear. And useful! And I came away with a pot!
  • 5/5 from Lucy Bacon, attended Mar 2025: We enjoyed a pottery wheel taster session today and had such a wonderful time. The instructions and demonstration were clear and we were in a small enough group that we could always ask for help if needed. It was a lovely atmosphere and everyone was so friendly. We came away with a couple of pieces each and are keen to get back and book onto a longer session!
  • 5/5 from Helen Tonks, attended Mar 2025: First time, great instructions and good to have plenty of time to just have a go several times. Great fun

  • 4/5 from Alison Emery, attended Feb 2024: We did this taster session for my friends 50th birthday, she has disabilities and we were wanting to do this as something different.

  • 5/5 from Alexander Jason Walls, attended Jan 2024: Great fun, engaging class, creating memories and decorative pieces for the house was well worth the time
