One-Session Potter’s Wheel Workshops

These one-night workshops at Hands On Pottery are the ideal way to experience what it’s like to create something out of clay using the Potter’s Wheel. We will show you how to transform lumps of clay into cups and bowls. Once you’ve finished throwing your pieces on the wheel, you will choose your favourite one, and our team will glaze it in the colour of your choosing. You’ll have your finished masterpieces within 3-4 weeks, once we’ve glazed and fired it in the kiln!

These classes are suitable for total beginners who have never ever touched a piece of clay before.

Scheduled every Friday & Saturday night in April/May! 6:15pm-8:45pm
