By popular demand, this two and a half hour beginner's pottery wheel throwing class will give you an introduction into this mesmerising technique, practising on the potter's wheel.
Spend the whole class on the wheel with an experienced pottery tutor learning how the clay behaves and learn the skills you need to create your own handmade pottery pieces.
Off Peak dates and times also available - click here for 'Wheel Taster Off Peak Times'.
