This is a fun activity in Birmingham

Ever wanted to try your hand at throwing clay on a potter's wheel but weren't sure if it's right for you? This two-hour Birmingham pottery class is the ideal introduction to this fun, meditative craft!

You'll get to grips with the basics of wheel throwing, from essential theory and practical considerations to the best way to prepare your clay to ensure a smooth end result. Following a detailed demonstration, it'll be your turn to strap on that apron, take to the wheel and start throwing your first pot!

Don't worry about any messy mishaps as your teacher will be on hand throughout the session to guide you towards your first amazing clay creation. At the end of the session, you will pick your best piece to be fired, glazed and ready to collect in 8 weeks' time. (The firing of 1 piece per person is included in the price while additional pots can be fired at a charge of £10 each)

Whether you're treating yourself to a new crafty Birmingham activity, want a fun date-night activity or you're looking for a gift for the creative soul in your life, this class is sure to tick all your boxes.

Note that the class is taught in a group of 6 people unless it is a private session.

Had such a fabulous afternoon at our pottery throwing class. The class was originally a gift for my husband but we both had a fab time. Robyn was our instructor who was very informative, friendly and really helpful. The class was very relaxed and welcoming. Will definitely book again with friends.

I really enjoyed the class. Robyn was an excellent teacher—very welcoming, with clear, simple instructions and lots of helpful tips. I’ve attended a pottery wheel taster before, but I felt I learnt so much more this time and even came away with something that actually looks like a bowl, all thanks to Robyn.

We went to a 17:00 pottery throwing taster class that I bought as a Christmas present, and it was a huge success. Eszter was incredibly friendly, hilarious, and clearly very knowledgeable, she made the whole experience fun and relaxed. We loved how hands-on the session was and being able to get stuck in straight away. All the staff were welcoming from the moment we arrived until we left. A great experience overall and one I’d happily book again. Looking forward to seeing the finished pieces once they’re ready for collection.

The taster class was a birthday present from my wife and have to say it was a brilliant one!. Esther (not sure I spelled that correctly) was an excellent teacher who was friendly and knowledgeable and gave clear instructions for something I've never done before. By the end of the class I was quite amazed at what I had somehow made! Thanks so much for a fun day.

Fabulous lesson! Avery gave us a brief explanation of the stages from clay to glazing. Very encouraging, helpful and friendly, demonstrating the use of the wheel before we made 2 pots! Bought with gift card which was easy to buy and redeem. Brilliant way to spend a couple of hours on a rainy afternoon! Would highly recommend!

Thoroughly enjoyable afternoon from start to finish. Esther was fantastic- very friendly, relaxed, helpful and professional and we were so pleased with our finished pieces, which will be put to practical use when we get them home. Great set up and would highly recommend this experience to anyone. Thank you for all your support, encouragement and positivity
