Pottery Making Activities

Want to learn a new creative hobby or hone your pottery skills? Book onto one of our instructor-led, beginner-friendly pottery workshops and learn the fundamentals of hand-building. Our ceramic workshops are perfect for individuals, groups, or even small team-building events.​

Learn the basics of working with clay, including pinching, coiling, and slab building techniques. Great for beginners and you get to make a piece using the method of choice.​

Our self-led hand-building with clay sessions are similar to our pottery painting sessions and available to book online. You're free to make what you wish - within reason. Pottery sessions are perfect if you have prior experience of working with clay or have attended one of our other instructor-led pottery classes and have an idea of what you want to make. You can also apply coloured underglazes during this session. You will have 1 hour 45 minutes and if not busy you can stay longer.

Each class focuses on a specific project, allowing you all to create the same piece. Explore your creativity with projects ranging from functional items like pots to decorative pieces like highland coo's, gnomes and even a Taylor Swift themed workshop.

Tailored Pottery Making Lesson

Getting messy with clay makes a fun activity with friends or family.  If you have a group of six or more, we may be able to run a bespoke pottery class for you! Great to do to celebrate a birthday or as a hen do activity.
