Perfect for young pottery enthusiasts; this children's pottery wheel-throwing course will enable your child to learn how to wheel throw a range of shapes. Gaining hands on experience that will stay with them forever in a small class with their own wheel. Making pieces that can be used is an incredible confidence booster!
 
Over the course, your child will learn essential techniques like clay preparation, centring on the wheel, throwing a range of shapes including a mug, matcha bowl, a bubble pot and trinket bowl plus turning and trimming, and adding handles. 
 
Each piece created will be fired and ready to collect within a month after the course end date, giving you lasting mementos of the pottery journey or as unique gifts made by your child's own hand.
 
Simply select the dates your child would like to join and add to cart or do the full 5 session course (12th July, 13th Sept, 11th Oct, 15th Nov and 13th Dec 2026) at a discounted rate. If a date doesn’t appear, that session is fully booked, so please check other dates for open spots or get in touch with Gemma to find out when the next course is due to start. Courses are popular and so we'd recommend booking asap.
 
We’re excited to welcome your child to the studio!
