A couple of recent messages from participants who just had the best time ever on our Potter’s Wheel Courses and Classes… Safe to say we think they may have caught the bug!

“I just wanted to say thanks so much for all your guidance and for the course on Saturday.  I really really loved it, and got so much out of it, so thank you both and to Ellie too.  I’ll definitely be recommending your courses to my friends and colleagues.  I loved the course so much so, that I really would like to keep going with it, and want to buy my own wheel.  You mentioned that there were good wheels on amazon; would you be able to give me some advice on which one to buy/places where I could buy a second hand wheel?  I also wondered if there was a supplier you’d recommend to buy extra bits and pieces and clay? I’m going to find a place locally so that I can continue my learning and develop the skills I learnt on Saturday! Thanks so much, again.” Kenny

“I had a taster session with you in December and loved it! so much that I’ve bought myself a wheel! but I wanted to ask what clay we used please? I have no idea what to buy and its only for fun to start with, I won’t be using a kiln but I remembered you saying that it would air dry”  Jess

Thank you Kenny & Jess and we look forward to seeing your studio pottery careers blossom!

Happy Valentines Day!

Did you buy your loved one a potter’s wheel experience for Valentines?

There’s nothing quite like sharing the delights of  throwing a pot on the potter’s wheel with your soul mate…so much fun too as clearly demonstrated by Alex and her fella!

Looks like we’re in for a chilly few days – time to cosy up! Join one of our Clay Modelling sessions for families in half term and create a Cosy Cottage. 🏠
😊
These creative sessions are designed for adults and children and no previous experience of working with clay necessary, just a willingness to have some fun with clay. 😀

‘Cosy Cottage’ takes place Tuesday 13 February and all though the morning session is fully booked, we do have space at 2pm. Please visit our Clay Modelling page to check availability and to book your spaces.

We ended the year by hosting x2 of our ever-so-popular Introduction To The Potter’s Wheel Classes at the Pottery on Saturday 23 December 2023.

So much fun and delightful participants!

Here’s what Pam thought about her experience:

‘Mmm..a gift experience voucher for the Potter’s Wheel- not sure about this…- how wrong can we be!
Staff were warm and welcoming as was the set up in the room – 2 people sharing a wheel . Informative and interesting demo first with humour thrown in and then we were let loose but help there when needed- and we did! Despite our best efforts at sabotage, Jon & Sarah were there to stop the wobble with their great admirable skill , leaving us all with a pot or two to be proud of ( or not) to take home or to leave to be glazed and fired ..
Oh but beware!! – the finger in the hole as Jon pointed out is sooo addictive and you will never look at a chocolate rolo in the same way again lol 😂
Thanks so much to Jon & Sarah for a lovely few hours of fun Very enjoyable Highly recommended’
