EmailDiscover the joy of wheel-thrown pottery in our relaxed and beginner-friendly taster workshop at Wild Clay Studios. Perfect for anyone curious about ceramics, this two-hour session invites you to get hands-on with clay and have a go at making your own pieces on the pottery wheel.
Guided by a friendly and experienced instructor, you’ll learn essential techniques such as centering the clay, shaping forms, and creating simple cylinders or bowls in a creative and supportive studio environment.
During the session, you’re welcome to throw as many pieces as you like for practice, giving you plenty of time to experiment and build confidence on the wheel. The price includes the glazing and kiln firing of one finished piece for you to keep. If you create additional pieces that you’d like to have fired, this can be arranged for £5–£10 per item depending on size.
All materials, tools, and tuition are included—just come ready to get creative, try something new, and enjoy the satisfying process of transforming clay into your own handmade pottery.

Anna Tordoff (She/Her)
Anna is a UWE Fine Art graduate, having discovered ceramics in her second year, being taken by its tactility, and grounding properties. Initially exploring hand building techniques such as coiling and slab building, creating sculptural forms reminiscent of nature. She then discovered throwing on the wheel, loving its technical challenges. Continuing to expand on both these practices, apprciating the endless possibilitiesof clay, she enjoys experimenting with new methods and techniques to create abstract and functional forms. The transition into teaching was natural hoping she can help others find there own joy in clay, believing its versatility means there really is something for everyone.
