Got a budding artist at home? Get them a break from screens and let their imagination take shape - literally!
Get ready for a summer of creative clay fun with our Kid's Summer Clay Club. The Clubs are scheduled 10 am-12 pm on Friday 24th July and every Thursday between 30th July and 27th August. Club Members can attend any 4 sessions. In each session, potters aged 9–12 will spend two hours exploring the wonderful world of pottery, split between wheel throwing and hand-building. In their final session, they will have a chance to paint and glaze their creations!
Each session includes:
- Throwing practice – learning to centre, shape, and control clay on the wheel
- Hand-building – creating fun, achievable projects using pinch, coil, and slab techniques, such as trinket boxes, coiled vases, and decorated coasters
- Painting/glazing - in the final session, students can choose how they wish to finish their creations using a selection of underglazes, ceramic crayons, and glazes.
No experience necessary — just curiosity and a willingness to get a bit messy! Firing is included, so every piece your child makes comes home finished and ready to use or show off.
Spaces are limited, so early booking is recommended.
Price: £149 for 4-sessions
Age: 9+; Note: children as young as 7 are invited to attend but must be accompanied by an adult.
What to bring: All tools and an aprons are provided.
What to wear: Clay is messy, so we encourage casual dress when possible. The stoneware clay used in this class will brush or wash off of most fabrics relatively easily.

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.
