Get stuck into a fun, no-pressure pottery experience in Manchester by Altogether Otherwise. This session is all about letting go and enjoying the process rather than focusing on the final result. You can make as many things as you like, all of which get smushed at the end of the session.
Perfect for beginners or anyone curious about pottery, this relaxed workshop encourages you to experiment freely with clay -- no expectations, just good vibes and creativity!
What to expect:
  • Use as much clay as you like to make as many pieces as you want.
  • A quick demo from a technician on centring clay and getting started.
  • Freedom to experiment on the wheel at your own pace.
  • A fun, light-hearted atmosphere focused on play rather than perfection.
  • All creations are recycled at the end of the session.
This is all about the joy of making and embracing the messy, playful side of pottery without worrying about keeping the end result. A cathartic, creative experience that keeps things simple, affordable and fun!
Please note
  • 1 or 2 people per wheel at £30 a wheel, so you can come solo or bring a friend and split the cost -- option to sit or stand at the wheel.
  • We have an access ramp and an accessible toilet.
What you'll get
Clay, tools, and aprons are provided!
Knowledge required
Beginner-friendly, if you've never done pottery before -- this is for you!
What to bring
  • Will I get messy? Yes! We have aprons but we are using clay and it might get on things -- it washes out but maybe don’t wear your new Issey Miyake suit or your most favourite collectable football shirt.
  • Wear flat shoes, hair tied back, no flappy jewellery.

Here at Ball Pit Pottery, we’re making fun of pottery. Pottery can be hard to master. But do you really need to master it? There are already plenty of cups and bowls.
Spend Time. Not for production. Not for perfection. Just for fun.
We sell time on the wheel in 50 minute blocks. Use as much clay as you like and make as many things as you want. Leave with nothing but the satisfaction of time well spent.
