Wheel-throwing taster

Mida teed

A potter shows you how to wedge the clay, centre it on the wheel and open it up, then you try it yourself with your hands on the clay and their eye on your work. Most first timers collapse a pot or two before something stands up, and that is half the fun. Expect wet hands, plenty of laughing and a moment of real concentration when the walls start to rise. You finish by choosing which pieces to keep.

One or two pieces you threw yourself. The studio usually trims, glazes and fires them, ready to collect a few weeks later.
