Get Your Hands Muddy: Pottery Wheel Taster Session for Ages 8–16

It's messy, it's tactile, and it's completely screen-free. Pottery wheel throwing is a fun and creative way to make your own pottery pieces. 

Our beginner-friendly hands-on taster workshop gives children and teenagers an amazing opportunity to learn how to use a spinning wheel to shape clay into different forms such as bowls, cups, and vases. Everyone works at their own wheel with hands-on help throughout, and small class sizes mean nobody gets left out.

There will be plenty of second attempts, because squashing it and starting again is half the fun! Aprons are provided but clay gets everywhere, so please wear comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty.

Designed and led by Merissa Hylton, a multidisciplinary artist and educator based in London.

Please note, a parent or carer must stay with children under 12 for the whole session.
