The Village Pottery, absolute beginners
Have-a-go wheel throwing
Our customers often tell us they’d love just to have a go on a pottery wheel! So, we are making their dreams come true and now offering wheel throwing taster sessions. During your 2 hour slot, we will guide you through step by step how to throw a small pot (or two if you’re lucky) which we will then fire and glaze for you in your choice of colours.
“My husband and I came for a wheel throwing experience and absolutely loved it. Claire was a great teacher and we had a lot of fun giving it a go - the steps were clear and easy to follow. …” Kate Cary, Google review, Feb 2025
