What we offer

A session for every celebration

Children's Birthday Parties

Children's Birthday Parties

Pottery parties for up to 18 children. Choose from Paint-a-Pot, wheel throwing, handbuilding or any combination — we have options to suit all ages, skill levels and preferences. Every child leaves with something they made themselves, fired and glazed ready to collect. Wheel throwing sessions are limited to 6 children.

Up to 18 children (wheel: max 6) · 1.5, 2 or 2.5 hours · From £25 per child

Teen Parties

Teen Parties

A step up from the children's party — more ambitious making, more independence, and a session that treats teenagers like the creative people they are. Wheel throwing is always a hit; handbuilding gives them more to take home. Glazing included. Wheel throwing sessions are limited to 6 guests.

Up to 18 guests (wheel: max 6) · 2–2.5 hours · From £28 per person

Adult Birthday Parties

Adult Birthday Parties

Bring a bottle

Celebrate in style — get your hands in clay and make something you'll actually keep. Choose from Paint-a-Pot, wheel throwing or handbuilding, or mix it up. Bring your own food and drinks; you're welcome to bring a cake. Glazing is optional — several options available. Wheel throwing sessions are limited to 6 guests.

Up to 18 guests (wheel: max 6) · 1.5, 2 or 2.5 hours · From £25 per person

Hen Parties

Hen Parties

Bring a bottle

Ditch the cocktail-making class. Spend an afternoon at the wheel, get clay on your hands, and make something you'll actually keep. Bring your own drinks and food — we have a fridge and kettle. Glazing is optional with several options available. Wheel throwing sessions are limited to 6 guests.

Up to 18 guests (wheel: max 6) · 2–3 hours · From £25 per person

Stag Parties

Stag Parties

Bring a bottle

Competitive, creative and genuinely surprising. Wheel throwing is harder than it looks — and funnier. We'll run a throwing challenge, score the results, and make sure everyone goes home with something to show for it. Bring your own drinks. Glazing is optional. Wheel throwing sessions are limited to 6 guests.

Up to 18 guests (wheel: max 6) · 2–3 hours · From £25 per person

Family Celebrations

Family Celebrations

Birthdays, anniversaries, reunions — any occasion that deserves something more memorable than a restaurant. Multi-generational groups welcome; we adapt the session to suit all ages and abilities in the same room. Wheel throwing sessions are limited to 6 guests.

Up to 18 guests (wheel: max 6) · 2–3 hours · From £25 per person

Glazing

What happens to your pieces

Children & teen parties

Once pieces are bisque-fired, children are invited back to the studio to glaze them — this return-to-glaze session is included in the party price at no extra charge. If it's easier, you're also very welcome to collect the bisque pieces and paint or glaze them at home instead.

Adult glazing options

For adult, hen and stag parties, glazing is optional. Choose the option that suits your group — or take your pieces home unglazed and finish them yourself.

Return to Glaze

Come back to the studio and glaze your own pieces at your own pace.

£2.50 each

Staff dip glaze (one colour)

Our staff dip-glaze your pieces in a single colour of your choice.

£5.00 each

Full staff glaze

Our staff apply a full decorative glaze to your pieces.

£7.50 each

Take home unglazed

Collect your bisque-fired pieces and paint or glaze them at home.

No charge
Important

Finished work must be collected within 28 days of bisque firing. Due to limited storage, pieces not collected within this period may be disposed of without notice. No refunds will be issued for uncollected work.
