About the Event 

Ever wanted to try the pottery wheel together?


Have fun, get messy and feel the centrifugal force as you and your child shape a mini pot side by side.
Sharing a mini pottery wheel, you’ll learn to centre and shape clay as a team, and your pot will be glazed and fired for you to keep.

Your finished piece will be ready to collect from Turner 7 days later, or we can post it to your home for £5 P&P if that’s easier.

For health and safety reasons, we’ll be working only with wet clay during the workshop. Once you’ve created your masterpiece, the artist will carefully glaze and fire your pot after the event to give it a beautiful, durable finish.

Aprons optional — enthusiasm encouraged.
