These two have visited every year since 2019 (except 2020) always up for a giggle and always dressed the same! :D

We love the variety of aprons and protective clothing people wear when they undertake an Introduction to the Potter’s Wheel Class...What will you wear!?

It’s black & white, our Weekend Potter’s Wheel Courses are brilliant!

These minimally decorated beauties were made by Emily, a recent participant on our two day potter’s wheel extravaganza.

As well as sampling a myriad of making techniques, you can choose to decorate your thrown and trimmed masterpieces from an extensive palette of colour….and many guests do, relishing in the rainbow effect.

Others enjoy colour matching their work to their homes.

Emily opted for the simplicity of bold, black, underglaze brushstrokes over a creamy white slip….and we love ‘em!

If you’d like to spend the weekend immersed in the craft of throwing pots on the potter’s wheel, then don’t delay, book today!

We run our weekend courses at least once a month and are just the ticket for beginners and improvers alike.

Delighted to announce we’ll once again be expounding the scientific attributes of clay at The Cheltenham Science Festival taking place 6-11 June 2023.

We’ve been a  staple of the MakerShack since 2016 and worked with 10’s of thousands of participants getting hands on with clay in this marvelous, family friendly interactive space.

Just to whet your appetite, here’s a few photos from the MakerShack last year….and a lovely little video produced by the the organisers.

As new leaves unfurl, we are reminded of all the lovely tree tile panels we’ve made with school children all over the West Midlands and beyond. This multi-coloured beauty was made with Cheltenham College Pre-Prep in the Autumn term of last year.
