2.5 hours Class size 1 to 8 guests       £55 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

This Valentine's Day treat your partner to an afternoon of creating with clay on the wheels, we'll also provide nibbles and Prosecco to set the mood and make it a fun and relaxed afternoon for you and your loved one!
With a maximum of 8 guests, we will work on the wheels in two groups of 4. Each group will get 2 x 30 min sessions on the wheels, with time in between to snack, top up your glasses and add finishing touches to your pieces.
We'll make multiple items during the 3 hours, but at the end of the class you'll be asked to choose your best 2 to be fired and glazed after you leave. Items take 3-4 weeks before they're ready to be picked up from us and if you live further afield we can post them out to you for £5.
This class has been structured specifically for couples, so please only book as 2!
If you're looking for an activity to do with 2+ people, we have space at our 'Pottery Workshop: Sculpt, Throw and Sip' on Friday 13th February, 6:30pm - 9:30pm.
What you'll get
  • Choose 2 items made on the day to be glazed and fired.
  • These will need to be collected approximately 3-4 weeks after the workshop.
Knowledge required

What to bring
  • Wear everyday clothes that wash easily, tie long hair back, and it's best to have short nails.

My name is Georgie Dixon, I'm a ceramics artist based in Manchester and I've taught pottery wheel classes and hand-building workshops for over 10 years in Brighton, Melbourne, Australia and Manchester.
I have recently opened Familia Studios, a pottery school in Ardwick, Manchester. We host 2 hour wheel intro classes, 6-week course, a Friday night Ceramics Social and seasonal one-off workshops centred around specific themes.
The friendly space at Familia Studios is big, open and thoughtfully designed - perfect for a party or special day out.
