'Throw a pot' Individual Pottery Experiences

£100.00

*Important, exciting update 20.03.24*

I will be going on maternity leave at the start of May 2024. All pottery experiences purchased during my maternity leave, will be valid from the date I restart pottery experiences for up to a year. If you purchase your pottery experience between now and July 2025 (when I am hoping to be up and running again), you will be sent an email with booking information upon my return. If you would like to be notified when my pottery experiences have started back up again, please email me at fi@fichceramics.co.uk. I will be checking my emails periodically through my maternity leave but please expect a slight delay. Alternatively, I will put a notice on my website, so you can check back here.

What can I expect?

Relax with a cup of english breakfast or herbal tea while I demonstrate the art of pot throwing, take you through the process and answer any questions.

Next, you’ll be up and experiencing first-hand the fun and therapeutic benefits of working with clay whilst creating your very own hand thrown pot – and, I’ll be with you every step of the way. Finally you will be able to choose which out of the 20+ colours you'd like your pot to be glazed in.

Lessons usually last an hour and a half on a one to one basis. Experiences for two people can be arranged as well, these will last around two hours.

Your pot will be completed in one session, perfect if you are visiting the area for the day. Your pot will then be turned (excess clay carved off the base), neatened up and your name stamped into the foot of your pot. It will then be glazed by Fi, fired for a second time and then it will be ready for collection or posted out to you. Your fully watertight pot will be finished within 6 weeks of your experience.

My friendly studio pup, Inca, happily sleeps through the whole experience, only waking up at the beginning and end for cuddles. She wont be offended if you'd prefer not to though!
