Wheel Throwing
If you've always wanted to give pottery a go but weren't sure where to begin, this ceramics experience in Kettering would make a brilliant starting point. Under the watchful eye of experienced potter Louise, you'll take to the wheel as you learn the techniques to throw your own earthenware mug or bowl.
In this serene pottery experience, you'll learn each step of the process at your own pace, using white earthenware clay to build your own unique vessel. Don't worry if this is your first time trying pottery, as you'll have help and guidance from Louise throughout the session. She'll show you the proper way to use the wheel as you shape, mould and guide your clay to its final form.
Everything you need will be provided on the day, so you just need to show up and enjoy two hours of creative zen. You'll leave the class happy, creatively refreshed and eagerly awaiting your piece's return from the kiln.

This session is perfect for people aged 16+
You will need to arrange to collect (in about two weeks time) once fired, or your pieces can easily be posted at cost.

Hello, I’m Louise
I adore leading pottery experiences, passing on pottery skills to other people. Clay is infectious!
I did a degree in Ceramics at Loughborough in the late 1980s and then had community arts roles and a pottery business in my 20's and 30's. After a career in children's services and growing my family I'm now full time in the pottery.
My dad, Rodney, was a brilliant bird artist, and both he and my mum found ways to encourage my artistic nature. They supported me in everything I did. Aged 13, I had a day with a local potter and was hooked on the clay.
When I started out in Ceramics in the 1990's the internet was just an idea, but with the help of my adult children I've grown my online presence and enjoy customer interactions both in person and over social media.
I also head out to local in person markets, my brilliant Mum helps with these.
I have a beautiful workshop which is bright and spacious, so the perfect commute down the garden path and the big pine table which is the hub of activity great for gathering with others who want to learn the craft or chatting to friends and neighbours as I make.
