Pottery socials, studio workshops + Evening workshops
Attended a taster throwing session and fallen head over heels for pottery but not sure what’s next? These are the sessions for you! *all advanced sessions are adults only.
Come alone or with friends :) booking + pre-payment essential.
First things first - let’s find out which session you’re after from the choices below ⤵️
Pottery Socials
These are three week mini courses lead by our Liam, with help from Hazel and Wade - expect to make cups, bowls and new friends.
Held on Friday afternoons between 1:30-4pm, its the perfect excuse to end your week on a high and start the weekend early.
£140pp including all materials, tuition, glazing + firing.
After you’ve attended our pottery social classes - providing you’re feeling confident and your tutor is happy - you can move on to our wheel practice sessions (or repeat the pottery social if you want more practice, guidance and new friends).
WEEK 1:
The basics - wedging, centring, throwing a cylinder, as well as the safe + tidy way to use the potters wheel.
Your two fave cylinders will be kept until week 3 when you will learn to turn them and attach handles - making your own pair of cups.
WEEK 2:
Push yourself - practice your centring, and moving the clay with confidence to create bowls.
Choose your two favourite bowls to keep until next week when you will learn to turn them - making two beautiful bowls.
WEEK 3:
The big finale - learn to trim your pots, pull handles and any final fancy decorative bits.
Your pots will then be slowly dried, bisque fired, and then glazed with our house glaze called ‘wheely teal’ - collect 6-8 weeks later.
* Please note it is a set price for all three sessions, including all materials and glazing. No refunds will be made / different dates offered if you’re not able to make a class. If Liam is on holiday or sick you might get Hazel or Wade as your tutor, but have no fear - they’re just as good and almost as funny. This session is only suitable for those have done a taster throwing class or have throwing experience previously. Book taster throwing here.

STUDIO Workshops
These one off classes are lead by Wade and our talented potters - they are designed for total beginners, but often frequented by a regular gang who’ve fallen in love with the slab building process.
You can book as many as you like and really start to develop your slab building skills and ambitions!

Evening Workshops
Much like our studio workshops, these one off classes are lead by Wade and our talented potters, designed for total beginners and improvers alike.
Our evening workshops are perfect for a relaxed hang with friends, or a work team building activity, and are held from 6:30-8:30pm on select Thursdays.
Hosted at the super chill Two by Two brewery in Byker, which boasts a great selection of hot and cold / alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, as well as being home to Flankman’s Mexican street food pop-up.
