Friends and Family Private Studio Booking
What's Involved
Enjoy pottery throwing with your friends, family or work team!
You can book the studio exclusively for your own use, and are welcome to bring a bottle, a “Gin-in-a-Tin”, nibbles, or anything else you would like! (We've even had a pizza delivery!) Personal tuition is provided with lots of hands on help designed for total beginners.
We'll learn to centre the clay on the wheel, and from that to make a cylinder bowl or vase.
You'll make a functional piece by the end. Not only useful, but a lovely reminder of a fun evening with your friends.
When?
Friends and Family private sessions are Friday and Saturday evenings from 6 - 8.30pm. If you would like another time (for example for a work team event in the daytime) please get in touch as there is some availability during the week.
To book, scroll through the calendar on the booking page to find available dates (circled) - or get in touch to arrange another time.
What will I make?
An afternoon is a short time to learn the skill of throwing. Realistically, people new to throwing will make a small bowl or pot - which are not to be underestimated! Super useful for nuts, olives or jewellery!
One finished piece each is included as part of the course fee. It's better to consider the environment and recycle extra pieces, but if you would like them they will be £5 each.
Glazing and Decorating
You can choose your piece to be glazed in one of our studio glazes - we have a range of contemporary colours from neutrals to blues and greens.
This happens after the piece is dried and bisc fired (which takes 2-3 weeks).
How Many Spaces?
We have a light and airy studio with eight wheels - so the maximum number to throw at any one time will be eight people.
There is room for a couple more if you don't mind swapping in and out.
If you have a larger group, please get in touch to see how we can accommodate you all!
Top Tips
Have some fun! This is supposed to be a fun evening together - it's best not to take it too seriously!
In the best sessions we get covered with clay - wear comfy old clothes and take watches and jewellery off.
Bring some nibbles, some wine or beers - whatever you would like!
