This is how it works

(U12's must be accompanied by at least one adult.)

On arrival you will be guaranteed a warm welcome from your professional pottery hosts. You'll then settle down to watch a coil pot demonstration from your assigned potter before getting stuck into the clay.

You’ll each be given a lump of clay to roll into long, rope-like shapes (coils) before stacking them on top of each other to build a cup, bowl or sculpture. 

You'll be encouraged to work independently, but don’t worry, your professional potter will be close at hand to offer guidance and advice if you get a bit stuck.

Once all members of your group have a ‘creation’ to show for their efforts, you’ll have the opportunity to paint your freshly made masterpiece in coloured under-glazes.

Your finished piece will need to dry before it’s fired and glazed. This process takes about a month, after which your fabulous ceramic items will be ready for collection from the Pottery. P+P can be arranged at £5 per item.

Please allow 1.5hrs for the whole experience.
