Family Ceramics - Throwing Taster

Come and join us at Cardiff Pottery Workshops for some great family fun with our Family Ceramics - Throwing Taster classes. The taster workshops have been designed for both adult and child to work together to create wonderful creations in clay, whilst enjoying time in our friendly and welcoming studio.

Family Throwing

Come and take some time out and have a giggle on the potters wheel. Here at Cardiff Pottery Workshops one of our aims is to make pottery accessible to all ages and abilities. Spending an hour on the potters wheel learning to throw a bowl is a great way to be creative, get messy and have some fun. The kids love seeing their grown ups having a go too! All pieces are made with air-drying clay so you can take it home the same day, let it dry out and get painting to finishing your masterpieces off.

1 Hour Workshop @ £30.00 per 1x Adult & 1x Child

Suitable for ages 4+

Dates/Times Available throughout 2023 - click below for all availability.

DISCLAIMER:

• Working with clay can be very messy. We supply aprons but it is probably best if you come to the classes in clothes and footwear you don't mind getting dirty. No watches or jewellery to be worn and you may want to tie your hair back in preparation. Cardiff Pottery Workshops Foundation will not be held responsible for any damage to clothing, shoes, jewellery, watches or mobile devices whilst in the studio.

• Unfortunately if you miss a class this cannot be taken at a later date and no reimbursement will be offered.

• Classes start on time and if you are late you can join the class but time cannot be made up at the end of the workshop.

• Classes must be paid for in full.

• Please be aware you are in a working studio and due care and attention must be given. Inductions will be given on the equipment you will be using. You must not use any other equipment in the studio. Cardiff Pottery Workshop Foundations will not be held responsible for any injury you may incur if you break the rules of the studio.

• We want you to have the best experience during your time in the studio and part of that is making sure all participants comply with our health and safety procedures. You must sign a form agreeing to comply with our Health and Safety practice. The company reserves the right to exclude any participant if they consistently fail to meet any of these conditions.

• All work made in classes will be bisque fired and glazed. Please be aware that although every due care and attention is given to every piece we put in the kiln, once inside the kiln we cannot be held responsible for any work that cracks, explodes or is damaged due to another object exploding. This unfortunately, is out of our hands and is part of the many difficulties of working with clay.

• We endeavour to have all finished work ready for collection within 3 weeks. After this date we hold all work for a minimum of 12 weeks. Any work not collected after this date will unfortunately be discarded due to minimal studio space. Collection of work is the responsibility of the maker.

• All images on the website are used for inspiration purposes only. All work created on a Saturday Workshop will be glazed in a Dolomite glaze which is white/tan mix and not as the images above.
