Throwing workshops in our private, rural studio

Learn something new

At our quiet, rural studio just outside of Southampton, you can get hands-on at one of our workshops. Our focus is on wheel thrown ceramics, and creating a peaceful environment where you have the space and time to explore the basics of pottery. Whether you've worked with clay before or not, we'll work with you to create pieces you're proud to take home.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the workshop?
The workshop is 2.5hrs long. This includes a quick briefing and demo on the wheel, followed by attendees taking it in turns to throw. Finally, you will discuss trimming and glazing requirements for the pieces you make.
How many pieces will I make?
Though we hope you will have the chance to throw up to 4 pieces (depending on your speed on the wheel), we will fire and glaze up to three pieces per attendee. The turnaround on these pieces is approximately 4 weeks from the date you throw to their final firing. You can either collect them from the pottery, or we can post them to you for a small extra fee.
Can I buy a gift voucher for a workshop?
Unfortunately, we do not currently offer gift vouchers. Drop us a message if you would like to enquire further about this.
Is there an age limit?
The youngest age we teach on the wheel is 16 years old.

Testimonials

"The pottery session for my partners birthday was nothing short of perfect. Beth was amazing at taking us right from the beginning of the process to making a few pieces each, which we were both so pleased with. The session was relaxed, easy going and a good laugh."
