Have you always wanted to have a go at crafting your own pottery? Or maybe you’ve been watching The Great Pottery Throw Down and been inspired? Either way, this free Try Pottery course is the perfect way to get your hands dirty and see if it’s for you.

As well as being hugely satisfying, working with pottery is a great way to help you relax and put the stresses of everyday life to one side. On this taster course in our fully fitted studio, you’ll start to learn some of the basic skills and techniques needed to shape clay, and at the end you’ll have created something unique to take home with you.

And if you enjoy it, we have plenty of opportunities for you to take your learning further.

What will I learn?

On this course you will prepare and roll out clay using guides.

You will learn how to measure and cut out accurately to make your own tile, coaster, or bunting, adding embellishments and decorations before you take it home.

You will also explore how learning a new skill can positively benefit your health and wellbeing.

How much will it cost?

This course is free.
