These one-night workshops at Hands On Pottery are the ideal way to experience what itโ€™s like to create something out of clay using the Potterโ€™s Wheel. We will show you how to transform lumps of clay into cups and bowls. Once youโ€™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. Youโ€™ll have your finished masterpieces within 3-4 weeks, once weโ€™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 nightS in August - 6:15pm-8:45pm
