This is a fantastic way to dive into all things clay and throwing at the wheel, led by Matt, an experienced and patient instructor.

The Workshop:
This workshop can be completely tailor made around your ability and interests. We can start with the basics of preparing clay, centring at the wheel and making a simple form, or, if desired, other aspects of making such as handles or trimming can be covered.

This is a lovely activity to do with friends, colleagues, to celebrate a birthday or to enhance any existing experience at the wheel.

All materials and firing costs are included. One piece may be kept to be finished by us then fired. You can choose which glaze you’d like us to use - which can then be shipped out to you or collected from our studio.

Who will be teaching the class? The workshops are taught by Matt, potter and co-founder of Pottery West. Matt is a patient teacher with lots of technical expertise, and has recently co-authored a book all about designing and making tableware at the wheel.

How many people are in the class? A maximum of 4 people, with a wheel per person and lots of assistance.

Where is the studio? The studio is located at Bullhouse Mill, a beautiful rural located a few miles from Penistone, also near Holmfirth.
