Potter's Wheel Taster Session
A hands-on introduction to the tactile experience of clay and wheel-throwing.
What to expect
If you’re looking for a hands-on experience and a chance to explore the tactile qualities of clay and throwing on the potter’s wheel, this taster session offers a focused and engaging introduction. This session is primarily about experiencing the potter’s wheel — learning how the clay responds to your hands, how to centre and shape it, and how small adjustments affect form. It’s an introduction to the physical language of wheel-throwing, guided step by step, with plenty of time to practice and ask questions. Most participants will make one or two small pots during the session. Selected pieces can be kept, glazed, and fired for an additional £5 per piece, allowing you to take home a finished ceramic object made entirely by you. Glazing and firing are optional and explained at the end of the session. Colour and Clay supports long-term mentoring for neurodivergent young adults committed to their art practice. Public programmes sustain this work.
