each session is 2 hours. you can book a single session for as one-off potters wheel taster session, or multiple sessions to cover more parts of the making process (such as attaching handles and glazing), with discounts for booking multiple sessions in advance!

'Lizzie is a fantastic teacher who from the start creates a fun and comfortable atmosphere. I have had several sessions and each time Lizzie ensured I learnt something new and basically ignited my love for pottery! Thanks so much Lizzie.'

here is an example of what multiple sessions would look like, but classes can be adapted to each individual (for example, if you’d like to learn how to make a mug you’ll need to book 2 sessions):

session 1: the basics (2 hours)
learning the basics of working with clay & an overview of the making process from start to finish. prepping & wedging clay, and a basic foundation to throw a cylinder on the potters wheel.

session 2: adding flair (2 hours)
after an intro session, you will explore more aspects of the making process such as adding handles/shapes to your work, surface decoration (ie carving) and decorating with underglaze. you can also use your second session to practice further on the potters wheel, and have a go at throwing different forms (such as a bowl shape).

session 3: adding colour (2 hours)
glaze your own work – choose from a range of glazes, explore wax-resist decoration & handpainting patterns with underglaze.

additional drop-in sessions (2 hours) - get in touch here to arrange
after your third session, you can book top-up drop-in sessions to further explore & build on the techniques you have learnt. i will be on hand to assist & answer questions, but these additional sessions are largely for you to work on your own personal projects.
