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.

We had never done a pottery class before but thd teacher was so clear in what we needed to do and talked us through each step. Including helping when things went a bit wrong! It was a really fun way to spend the afternoon. We absolutely loved it. Can’t wait to puck up our finished items.

The whole process of finding a class, booking it and communcation was great. Reminders too! The class was very enjoyable, if messy, but I wouldn't have expected anything less. Don't go in posh clothes! You got to make two pots and then could keep the one you wanted. It takes about 6 weeks for the pot to dry and fired, which is fine. You will need to go back to collect it. The teacher was very good, knew his stuff, and was patient with us when we got it wrong, which most of us did. My first one I made too thin and it collasped but he sorted it out. I did enjoy it and I would do it again but I don't think I'm going to be an expert at it!
