Date Night: Pottery Pasta Bowl Workshop

Join Pottymouth Workshop for a cosy, creative date night at one of Bristol’s best taprooms—an evening made for craftin’, relaxin’, and enjoying quality time together over clay and good vibes.

In this hands-on workshop, you and your date will learn the art of pottery-making as you transform raw clay into beautiful, functional handbuilt pasta bowls. With expert potters guiding you step-by-step, you’ll explore a range of hand-building techniques to shape, sculpt, and style your bowls exactly how you like them. From silky spaghetti to chunky rigatoni, you can create the perfect bowl for your pasta personality.

Whether it’s your first date, your hundredth, or a much-needed night out with your favourite person, this experience is all about connection, creativity, and a little bit of mess-making together.
