Duration: 2.5 hours
Location: Manor Farm Pottery
What the Session Looks Like
With two and a half hours and an intimate group size, there is no need to rush. Enjoy a leisurely, creative experience with plenty of 1-on-1 guidance.
00:00 – 00:20 | Welcome, Fizz & Live Demo: Start the party with a glass of prosecco or a soft drink. Relax as our expert instructor gives an entertaining live demonstration, breaking down the secrets to centering and shaping clay on the wheel.
00:20 – 01:30 | The Creative Wheel Throw: Every guest sits down at their own dedicated potter's wheel. With a small group, you will get plenty of tailored coaching as you spin, shape, and pull up the walls to throw your own unique pots.
01:30 – 01:50 | Refreshment Break: Step away from the wheels to wash your hands, enjoy a selection of delicious sweet and savoury treats, top up your drinks, and chat about your creations.
01:50 – 02:30 | Detailed Decoration & Photos: Bring your pieces to life! Use vibrant coloured slips, stamps, and carving tools to add intricate designs to your pots. We’ll finish with a big group photo showcasing everyone's finished masterpieces.
What is Included in the £65 Fee
Premium Refreshments: A glass of fizz (prosecco or non-alcoholic alternative) on arrival, plus a selection of cakes, bakes, and soft drinks during the break.
Your Own Wheel: Guaranteed individual use of a potter's wheel throughout the throwing session.
All Materials: Premium earthenware clay, colourful decorating slips.
Expert Coaching: Patient, close-up instruction tailored specifically to your group's pace.
Full Studio Firing Service: We handle the technical side. Your pieces will be carefully dried, bisque-fired, professionally dipped in a shiny clear glaze, and fired a second time so they are 100% waterproof and food-safe.
Practical Logistics
What to Wear: Wheel throwing is a wonderfully messy art! We highly recommend wearing comfortable clothes you don't mind getting splattered, trousers (rather than skirts) for sitting comfortably at the wheel, and keeping nails relatively short if possible.
Collection: Your finished, gleaming pottery will be ready to collect from Manor Farm Pottery within 3–4 weeks (or delivery can be arranged for an optional fee).
