All of our wheel throwing courses are in groups of up to 8 people so you’ll have plenty of time with the tutor and it will still be a relaxing experience as well as good fun.

Please wear comfortable clothing that you are relaxed about getting messy. We recommend trousers as you’ll sit close to the wheel as you throw. Please ensure long hair is tied back, jewellery, watches, long necklaces, scarves etc are removed.

Please note that it is very difficult to throw pots with long nails.
