Choose from the pottery experiences below and buy online. You will receive a Gift Certificate to print or email, and the person you are giving it to chooses a date that suits them.
Pottery Wheel Experience
A gift for someone who's always wanted to try their hand at the pottery wheel.
This certificate covers a 90-minute introduction to throwing on the pottery wheel. No experience needed, no expectations. Just hands in clay, a spinning wheel, and George to guide you through it.
The session covers the fundamentals: centring the clay, feeling for the shape through your fingers, and using posture and breath to stay with the process. From there, George walks you through opening the floor of a pot, pulling up the walls, and shaping a simple form such as a small bowl or vase.
What's included: the session, all materials, and George's instruction.
Glazing and firing is available to add on at the end of the class if you want to keep some of the pots you made, for an additional $35 per pot, payable separately by cash or card. You'll choose from the studio's range of in-house glazes, and the finished pieces will be ready for collection within 2–3 months.
Plate and Platter Workshop
This is a great certificate for craft and home decor enthusiasts!
Over two hours, George guides you through the basics of slab-building: preparing clay slabs, cutting, pressing and shaping the clay into plate and platter forms, and adding texture using stamps, botanical clippings, seed pods, and other found objects.
You finish by choosing glazes for each piece from the studio's in-house palette.
No experience needed. This workshop is slower-paced than wheel throwing, and well suited to a wide range of ages and abilities, including young people, seniors, and people with moderate physical disabilities.
Pieces are kiln-fired after the session and available for collection once complete.
Pottery Wheel 7-week Night Classes
A gift for someone ready to go deeper with clay!
This certificate covers a full seven-week pottery wheel course, one evening a week, Tuesdays or Wednesdays from 6–8:30pm.
It's a natural next step for anyone who's done one of our 90-minute Wheel Introductions, and a genuinely good starting point for beginners who want to develop their skills and take on more ambitious projects.
Over seven weeks, George covers the techniques that make the real difference: throwing larger and lighter forms, trimming the foot of a pot for a cleaner profile, and glazing.
By the end of the course, students have a body of work they've made themselves, and a much clearer sense of what they're doing on the wheel.
The certificate covers all clay, glaze, and kiln firing costs for a selection of pots made during the course.
