Want to keep both? You can – just add an extra for £20!

The Best Bit?

You don’t need any experience – just bring your curiosity and a sense of fun. Whether you’re coming alone, with a friend, or as a creative date idea, you’ll leave feeling inspired, proud, and maybe a little addicted to the pottery wheel.

At the end of the session, you’ll use our simple QR code form to tell us your glaze colour choice and where to contact you. We’ll take it from there – drying, firing, glazing, and finishing your piece to perfection. Your final masterpiece will be ready to collect in around 4–6 weeks.
