The taster is how most of our regulars started. We show you how to wedge the clay and centre it, and then you get your hands on the wheel straight away, with Elin or one of the studio potters beside you.

Centring takes a while to click, which is half the fun. By the second hour most people are pulling up walls and choosing a glaze.

Questions

Will I really make something?

Yes. Everyone leaves with at least one piece on the drying shelf, and most with two.

Can I come on my own?

Most people do. There's a wheel each, so you won't be paired with a stranger.
