Dive into the creative world of pottery with this hands-on clay wheel workshop designed especially for teens aged 12 and over. Under the guidance of expert potter Jenny Boyd, participants will learn essential skills such as wedging, centering, and shaping clay. This workshop offers a perfect introduction to the art of ceramics, even if you have no prior experience.
Expect a supportive and small class environment where you can express your creativity freely. All materials are provided, so just bring your enthusiasm and a willingness to get a little messy! Your finished pieces will be glazed and kiln-fired, ready for collection after the class.
This workshop is an ideal stepping stone to the Young Adults short course offered on Saturdays during term time, making it a great opportunity to explore pottery further.

Participants should wear comfortable clothes that can get dirty and closed-toe shoes for safety. The session is community-run and offers a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where teens can learn and have fun.
All necessary materials, including clay and glazes, are supplied, so there is no need to bring anything except your creativity.
