We aim to give you the BEST introduction to learning ceramics!
Our Taster Class is our signature introductory 2-hour class for you to come try your hand at the potter’s wheel! (Hint: It makes a great gift too! See more HERE)
You’ll be surprised that most people can learn the basics of how to make quite respectable small pots even if they’ve never done it before. Our Taster Class is for anyone who wishes to be introduced to basic wheel thrown pottery techniques and is a 2-hour session full of fun and learning! Completely NO experience required. It’s also a great way to end your week on a Friday evening: you could bring a friend or two and check out our fab Collingwood bars and restaurants afterwards!
*Note: by attending a Taster Class you will be eligible to join any of our other classes in the following two months for a loyalty discount. You’ll get instructions how to enrol after you attend the Taster Class!
