Spend a relaxing day in the idyllic Herefordshire countryside learning how to make pottery on the potter's wheel.
The perfect experience for anyone wanting to immerse themselves in the art of making pottery on the potter's wheel.
The therapeutic benefits of working with soft clay on the potter's wheel are considerable. Participants often leave the studio feeling totally de-stressed with an overwhelming sense of well-being. The positive and inclusive nature of the instruction means everybody achieves - there are no mistakes, just happy accidents and learning experiences! We have a lovely big studio and limit numbers to x8 participants. This ensures guests have plenty of space to get creative and guarentees lots of individual attention and guidance.
