What to bring with you

Please wear old clothes and foot ware you don't mind getting a little splattered in clay.

An apron and old towel. Alternatively, you can hire an apron and towel bundle from us at £5. (As you take turns on the wheel, you're welcome to share one bundle between two)

This is how it works

On arrival you will be guaranteed a warm welcome from your professional pottery hosts Sarah Monk and Jon Williams. You'll watch a potter’s wheel demonstration and then it’s down to business.

You’ll each have two goes on the potter's wheel. Your expert potter is present throughout the experience, talking  you through the five steps to making a pot. You certainly won’t be bored waiting your turn as you'll be pumping away at the pedal, ensuring plenty of momentum for your potting partner. It's a great spectator sport too. You’ll have so much fun watching each other, all the time picking up handy tips.

The whole experience lasts 1.5 hrs. You may end up with two pots...or you might not! but at this point you'll be offered one of three choices: 1) We'll recycle your attempts so your clay can be enjoyed again and again by our lovely customers. 2) Select your favourite pot to take away and paint at home. 3) For an additional £25 per pot we'll fire and glaze your creation. If you go for option 3, your masterpiece will need to dry thoroughly before it goes in the kiln. It will be fired twice. This whole process takes about a month, after which we'll contact you to let you know it's ready for collection from the Pottery. P+P can be arranged at £5 per item.
