A great choice for those who want to try a more tactile approach to pottery, no wheel required. A great choice for those who want a more tactile approach to pottery — no wheel requ ired. In this one-hour session, you'll build a coiled vase, mug, or dish by hand — shaping, pinching, and refining the clay without the wheel. It's slower than throwing, more forgiving, and a genuinely good way to understand what clay actually does. There's also far more room for customisation and decoration than in a throwing taster. Add handles, stamp in custom motifs, or letter your piece inside or out — the sky's the limit. By the end, you'll have a vessel entirely your own making and completely unique from everyone else in the class. Take it home the same day, or arrange collection within 24 hours. For a small additional fee of £5, we'll fire and glaze it, ready in four to six weeks. Age: 7+ (Note, minors must be accompanied by a supervising adult) What to bring: All tools and aprons are provided. What to wear: Clay is messy, so we encourage casual dress when possible. The stoneware clay used in this class will brush or wash off of most fabrics relatively easily. Where we meet: 127 High Street, Henley-in-Arden B955AU Accessibility: We pride ourselves in being accessible. We have a ramped entrance for those with limited mobility and a ground floor toilet. All of our pottery wheels can be operated by hand or foot. We encourage you to contact us to discuss your specific needs prior to booking. Show more
