Gather your crew for 1.5 hours of throwing clay, plenty of laughs, and a tipple — a fun kickoff to date night, a birthday, or an alternative to your usual happy hour catch-up.

The evening opens with a browse of the gallery and a drink (alcoholic or not, your call) to loosen up the fingers and the creativity. Once everyone's settled in, your expert potter walks you through wheel throwing essentials — centring, opening, and shaping — before handing the wheel over to you for an hour of hands-on practice. Missed a step during the demo? Don't worry, we're on hand to help throughout.

As the evening winds down, we'll inspect (and have a good laugh at) everyone's creations and raise a final glass together before you head off — with plenty of time left to continue on to dinner or your next venue. 

Absolutely no experience required.  Everyone can choose one pot to be fired and glazed at no additional cost, ready to collect in 4-6 weeks.  Additional pots can be fired and glazed for a fee. 

Cost: £70 per person. Minimum price equivalent to 5 attendees (£350) although smaller groups are welcome at this price.  Maximum of 10 attendees. 

Age: 18+ 

What to bring: All tools and aprons are provided. 

What to wear:  Clay is messy, so we encourage casual dress when possible; however, the stoneware clay used in this class will brush or wash off of most fabrics easily.  

Where we meet: 127 High Street, Henley-in-Arden B955AU

Accessibility: We pride ourselves in being accessible.  We have a ramped entrance for those with limited mobility and a ground floor toilet.  All of our pottery wheels can be operated by hand or foot.  We encourage you to contact us to discuss your specific needs prior to booking.
