Pottery hand-building sessions

We provide a range of experiences for you to enjoy where you can learn the art of pottery. Families, groups of friends or solo creators of all ages and abilities can book onto our handbuilding sessions! Some examples of what you can make include a plant pot, bowl, mug, salt pig or even a dazzling butter dish. For our younger participants they can create anything from a cute unicorn bowl to a wacky alien with googly eyes. For unders 5s, we provide a ‘play with clay’ experience where they can get messy with clay and get their first taster into pottery.

We also host a BYOB handbuilding session ‘Pottery & Bubbles! If you’d like a crafty and creative escape for an evening with a glass of bubbles, this is the perfect session for you or a group of friends.

We recommend arriving 10 minutes early to your session, so you have plenty of time to grab a coffee or drink from our cafe, and get settled into your pottery experience.
