Wheel throwing for beginners. A wheel each, side by side, and a private 2.5-hour slot with candlelight...
This is for two people to enjoy and have a go at learning the wheel as complete beginners, in the studio completely to yourselves. Your teacher will provide supportive guidance every step of the way, making it easy to ease any creative anxiety and get stuck into the process. You will have a few rounds on the wheel to get comfortable then you choose 1 piece to trim and paint.
How your session works:
Welcome and setup: Arrive, get your apron on, and settle in. Your tutor will walk you through the plan for the session and answer any questions before you begin.
Introduction to the wheel: Get comfortable at the wheel and learn how it works. Your tutor will explain speed, posture, and hand positioning so you feel confident before touching the clay.
Wedging your clay: Before throwing, your tutor will show you how to prepare your clay by wedging it to remove air bubbles and create an even consistency ready to work with.
Centring: The foundation of everything on the wheel. With your tutor guiding your hands, you'll learn to push and brace the clay into a perfectly centred mound, the essential first step to any thrown piece.
Opening and forming the base: Once centred, you'll open up the clay to create the floor of your cup, setting the shape and thickness of the base.
Pulling the walls: The most satisfying part. Using steady, controlled movements, you'll draw the clay upward, building the walls of your cup taller and thinner with each pass.
Shaping your piece: Refine the form, adjust the width, and give your piece its final shape. Your tutor will help you add your own personal touch to make it truly yours.
Finishing and signing: Trim the base, smooth any rough edges, and sign the bottom of your piece. Your tutor will take it from here to dry and fire in the kiln.
Painting your new piece: After trimming the piece, you will then paint it with the selection of underglazes. The tutor will then keep the piece and also put a clear glossy glaze on it.
Everything you need is provided in the studio, including all clay, tools, an apron, and the glazing and kiln-firing services. By the end of this uplifting session, you'll have unlocked a whole new appreciation for craft and pottery. Best of all, you'll walk away with a fantastic sense of achievement and a beautiful, handmade keepsake that you threw yourself, ready to collect within 3-4 weeks.
Pieces are decorative use only.

Hi, I'm Charlotte, clay-obsessed, self-taught, and six years deep into a love affair with ceramics! I fell into ceramics during the pandemic and never looked back (my hands have never been the same, in the best way).
There's nothing quite like the moment a wobbly lump of clay turns into something real on a pottery wheel. It's messy, meditative, and ridiculously fun, which is exactly why my wheel throwing classes make such a brilliant date night idea in Edinburgh. Trade the usual dinner-and-a-movie for clay under your nails, a few giggles, and a one-of-a-kind creation to take home (bonus points if it's a little wonky).
I taught pottery classes in Porto before swapping it for Edinburgh, where I've just opened my new ceramics studio. Whether you're booking a romantic date night, a fun activity with friends, or a solo creative escape, I'll guide you through beginner-friendly wheel throwing in a relaxed, no-pressure space.
