Join this two hour hand-building pottery experience in Market Harborough for a perfect introduction to creating your own ceramics. This activity offers a wonderful opportunity to dip your toes into the world of pottery without committing to a regular class.
In this relaxed and supportive workshop, ideal for beginners, you'll get a taste for hand-building with clay. Your friendly instructor will guide you step-by-step through the process of forming your own unique pieces. This activity is all about exploration and enjoyment, whether you decide to craft a mug, a bowl, or something delightfully quirky. You'll be amazed at what you can create in just one session!
Please note: Clay work is a process that requires drying and firing time, so your pieces won't be ready to take home on the day. We'll offer you several options for getting your completed pieces to you.
This taster includes:
  • Two hours of hands-on tuition in a small group setting, ensuring personal guidance
  • Use of all necessary materials, tools, and equipment
  • Choose from a selection of beginner-friendly projects with our expert guidance
  • Flexible finishing options: Your pieces can be recycled, finished by booking an additional session, or completed by us to be collected about 4 weeks after your class.
  • Tea and coffee, along with plenty of positive encouragement throughout the session!
Absolutely no prior experience is necessary for this pottery workshop – simply bring your curiosity and remember to wear clothes you're comfortable getting a bit messy in! This pottery activity makes a wonderful treat for yourself or a thoughtful and unique gift experience. You're welcome to come along on your own or share the fun with a friend – everyone is invited to participate.
You'll leave this pottery session with newfound creative confidence, an inspiring new skill, and the exciting prospect of your own handcrafted ceramic pieces once they're complete.
What you'll get
You will get up to 2 finished pieces (or 3 smaller pieces) ready for collection once they're glazed and fired - 4 to 6 weeks after your workshop.
