Pottery classes to suit everyone
Try your hand at throwing on the wheel, hand modelling and other techniques
Classes take place in my small, quirky pottery studio in Bamford where I even have an outside kick wheel for throwing pots in the sunshine (when the weather is right!). I teach a wide range of classes to suit people of all ages, abilities and walks of life - from toddlers to octogenarians. I offer creative, fun and unique lessons on a one-to-one or small group basis. I am passionate about sharing my love of creating pottery with others and have decades of experience in teaching pottery as a creative therapy, as a fun group activity or as a way of expressing yourself.
​
Lessons can be arranged by the hour, from taster sessions to a set of structured lessons. I also run half and full day workshops for a more immersive experience. I am always flexible and can design a class or workshop to suit your needs. ​More information about my classes can be found below.
The lessons I offer
My fully flexible hourly sessions are a simple way to start your creative journey. I recommend at least two hours per session, but I can offer whatever length suits you.
​
Sessions are generally Thurs-Sun during the daytime, but I can arrange other hours to suit.
​
£20 per hour for adults and £10 per hour for children.
Techniques vary depending on age, but hand modelling and throwing on a small wheel are messy, fun and suitable for children of all ages.
I can theme classes around your child's interests, such as favourite animals or TV characters.
£10 per hour per child, £20 per hour per adult (if taking part)
