Discover the art of pottery wheel throwing in this engaging workshop designed for adults familiar with clay but new to the wheel. You'll be guided step-by-step through centring clay, lifting walls, and forming your first basic cylinder. The session encourages creativity as you decorate your three favourite pieces, which will be clear-glazed and fired for collection later.
This workshop offers a fantastic opportunity to explore a new craft, unwind, and create unique ceramic pieces. Whether you're looking to start a new hobby or simply enjoy a creative day out, this class provides all materials and expert guidance.
Expect a relaxed and supportive environment where you can learn at your own pace and connect with fellow pottery enthusiasts.
