Private Kids & Teens Parties

12+ Throwing Lesson

A boy is sitting on a wooden chair, shaping clay on a pottery wheel in a pottery studio. Two other people, a woman and a girl, are working at a nearby work table with pottery tools and supplies.

For ages 12 and up, this hands-on experience invites 4 to 6 participants to get creative with clay on the wheel. Perfect for budding artists!

  • We will aim to make bowls and cylenders. you will then get to keep up to 3 pots each, which will be trimmed, glazed, and fired for you.

    You'll be contacted when your pottery is ready to collect. This process can take up to 8 weeks, so thank you for your patience.

  • All equipment, tools, and materials are provided. You’ll be shown how to throw a simple shape on the wheel, and then it’s your turn to get creative (and a little messy!).

    • £50 for groups of 4

    • £45 for groups of 5-6

  • We have a range of pre made pottery for you to chose from.

    Set a price per person and I’ll make sure just to show items in that range.

    Our items range from £8 - £30.

    Mugs, jugs and bowls are our most popular and range from £12 - £15

  • Our Pottery Painting sessions are perfect for all ages and skill levels.

    Each session is up t 3 hours unless you book more in advance. Most people finish in an hour or two

  • To reserve a table, there’s a £10 table fee (for up to 4 people, including any non-painters). This helps us hold the space just for you. The fee is non-refundable and isn’t taken off the cost of what you choose to paint on the day.

    We don’t have set session times at the moment, so just get in touch and we’ll find a time that suits you.
