Whether you’re looking for a fun night out, a new hobby, or just a chance to try something different, our welcoming, hands-on workshops make it easy to unwind, get your hands messy, and see what you can create.
Curious about pottery but not sure where to start? Our introductory workshops are designed for complete beginners — no experience needed. In just one evening, you’ll explore clay in a relaxed, social environment, learn the basics from experienced potters, and create pieces
you’ll be proud to show off.
You’ll:
• Try out both wheel throwing and hand-building techniques.
• Experiment with decorating tools, stamps, textures, and glazes.
• Watch a live wheel demonstration and try to create your own small bowl, cup or tealight holder.
We provide everything you need — clay, tools, instruction, and studio support — and we’ll even finish, fire, and glaze your work for you.
Your handmade creations will be ready to pick up about 4–6 weeks after the workshop.
It’s a relaxed, social night out — and you’ll leave with something handmade and one-of-a-kind.
