Experience the magic of the pottery wheel in this private 2-hour session, perfect for beginners or anyone curious about clay. We'll start with a short demonstration where I’ll guide you through the basic techniques of wheel throwing, centering, shaping, and forming a simple pot. Then it’s your turn! You’ll have plenty of hands-on time at the wheel to practice and create your own piece. At the end of the session, you’ll choose two of your favourite pots to keep. I’ll take care of the trimming, glazing, and firing, and your finished piece will be ready to collect in a few weeks. Want to keep more pots? No problem!
