Looking for a fun, hands-on date idea or quality time with a friend? This private pottery workshop offers the perfect blend of creativity, learning, and relaxed vibes — and yes, you can BYOB.
Led by Amanda, a potter with a masters in ceramics & 17 years’ experience, this 2.5 hour session includes engaging demos, step-by-step guidance, and plenty of encouragement — so no worries if you’re new to the wheel. You'll learn how to centre clay, shape a pot, and get a second go to refine your skills or create something totally new.
By the end, you’ll each have crafted up to two beautiful handmade pots each — ideal as keepsakes, gifts, or simply a memory of a great day out.
Choose Your Creative Experience:
CRAFT – Make a Pot (Take It Home Same Day) Best for one-off experiences & instant creativity.
Use air-dry clay to make your pots, and take them home immediately in a protective box. Once dry, you can paint them at your leisure (we’ll explain how). These are perfect for display — but not food-safe or waterproof.
ART – Make, Paint & Fire a Pot. Perfect for those who want to glaze, fire, and use their creations.
This option includes two visits:
  • Your private throwing workshop
  • A return visit 1-12 weeks later (Tues pm or Sat am) for a 1.5-hour painting session
We’ll dry and fire your pots twice in our kiln (up to 1220°C) — a process that takes 2–3 weeks. Once fired, your pots will be food-safe, oven- and dishwasher-friendly. You’ll have up to 12 weeks to collect them or request delivery (extra fee applies).
