Service Description
Who is it for? Aim at school children ages 7-16 who want to do something a little bit different this school holiday! No pottery skill is needed, it's just a bit of fun which will be fully guided by your tutor! (Ticket price is per person) If you'd like a session for two people, please find a session that will allow you to check out two tickets. If you'd like a session for parent and child, you will need to book two tickets. If you only select one ticket, there may be another person on the other wheel. Please bare this in mind if your child has any social needs. (If you'd like a private session, please book two tickets) What will I learn? During the 30 minute session, you will learn the basics of throwing. From centering, opening out, pulling up and shaping. You will be guided by your tutor to create a bowl or pot which will then be fired in a transparent glaze and collected at a later date. What’s included? Your ticket includes full tuition from a professional potter, use of facilities and tools, firing and glazing of your pot. Ticket price is per person. When will I be able to collect my pieces? Your pieces will be refined, fired and glazed and will be ready for you to collect between 6-8 weeks. Your pieces can be posted at an extra charge. **If you want to request a specific date and time, or want to organise for a larger group. please fill in our contact form at the bottom of the page! I like to cater sessions to you as much as i can! Please note, groups of more than 2 will take it in turns on my two wheels!** Things to consider: An apron will be provided but pottery is very messy as the apron may not protect all clothing. Please wear clothes you don't mind getting mucky! A parent or guardian MUST be present during the session, this is not a drop off service! Hair should be worn up for health and safety. All jewellery such as rings, watches and bracelets must be removed. Flat, closed toe shoes must be worn. Wheels may be harmful to a person who has a pacemaker. Long nails should be avoided. This will make your experience extremely difficult for you. Ticket price is PER PERSON. If you'd like a private session for two, two tickets need to be purchased
