Private Potters Wheel Taster Workshop

Try a new skill in this wheel throwing taster in Edinburgh!



1.5 hours Class size 1 to 4 guests       £40

In this wheel throwing workshop in Edinburgh, you'll spend 1.5 hours getting hands-on with clay in a relaxed, private pottery taster session designed for beginners. You'll learn useful pottery techniques and master shaping clay on the wheel.
No experience is needed to join. With a maximum of four people, you’ll have plenty of guidance and time to experiment, create, and get messy!
What to expect:
  • Learn the basics of working with clay and get comfortable with the materials.
  • You’ll be guided through simple pottery techniques, step by step.
  • Make your own ceramic pieces to take away after they’ve been fired.
  • Plenty of opportunity to experiment, ask questions, and enjoy the creative process.
You’ll leave with new wheel throwing skills, something you’ve made yourself from scratch, and, hopefully, a big smile!

Recent reviews of Private Potters Wheel Taster Workshop

  • 5/5 from Mark Spence-Ishaq, attended Oct 2026: Absolutely fantastic 1-1 class with Nicole, who was a great teacher and guide. Thank you
  • 5/5 from Natalie McLean, attended Oct 2026: Had a great session, the teacher Nicole was fantastic and very patient. The class set up was perfect and the staff were so friendly. We had so much fun using the pottery wheels, there was no pressure to be perfect and there was a lot of laughing.
  • 5/5 from Jennifer Kirk, attended Sep 2026: My daughter and I had a private session with Nicole and it was fab! She was a fab teacher and made us both feel at ease, instructions were clear and we got to make three pots each! Would definitely recommend and we would go back and do it again! Lovely session and Nicole was just lovely!
  • 5/5 from Iain A. Ellis, attended Sep 2026: This was a treat for my wife's birthday, which we both thoroughly enjoyed. Our teacher, Nicole, was excellent. She gave an upfront demonstration on how to get started with the wheel, this was most informative and Nicole made it look so easy. During the workshop Nicole was very patient with us and gave us excellent guidance throughout. We made three items each and had great fun doing so. Considering it was our first time using the wheel we were both pleased with what we achieved. Many thanks for a great evening.

I’m an Edinburgh-based ceramicist and teacher, and I’d love to welcome you to one of my pottery classes.
Whether you’re completely new to clay or already have some experience, come along, get your hands muddy and have some fun!
I’ve been making pottery for around eight years and teaching for about five, and I’m passionate about sharing my love of ceramics with others. My classes are relaxed, welcoming and hands-on, a chance to slow down, get creative and make something you can be proud of.
