Ever wanted to try your hand at pottery? Join our two-hour taster session and create your very own handmade mug!*
Perfect for complete beginners, hobbyists, or those with a little more experience, these hands-on taster sessions will introduce you to the wonderful world of clay, explore hand building techniques, and have you decorating with coloured slips.
At the end of the session, you will be given a day and time to collect your work which will have been both bisque and glaze fired.
