Fizz Friday Pottery Wheel Taster

Overview

Pottery Wheel Experience

A 'taster' throwing experience at Poppins Pottery.

Upon arrival we’ll run through the basics before demonstrating pottery throwing on the wheel to make a small Pot. You’ll then have time on the wheel to make your own small pot (or two).  Choose your favourite and leave with us to kiln fire and we'll contact you when ready to collect. A small cost for posting applies.  

Allow up to 1.5 hours in total for this experience. (Suitable for up to 4 people) suited for those who have never tried a potters wheel and always fancied ‘having a go’. We’re on hand to offer as much or as little assistance required. Aprons are provided but we recommend wearing clothes you won’t mind getting a little messy.

Optional extras  -- Available to choose/purchase on the day.

  • Additional pots made
  • Glazing
  • Packing & Posting



Please note, no alcohol or food can be consumed on the wheels.
