Private pottery lessons for individuals and pairs
I’m very pleased to be able to offer a very small number of private pottery lessons for individuals and pairs in my new home studio in Carmarthen, west Wales.
one-to-one or one-to-two wheel throwing lessons
Completely tailored to you.
Whether you just want to have a go on the potters’ wheel, as it looks fun, or you have a specific target in mind please get in touch.
You can book a taster session or a series of 3 lessons at a time. Spaces are very limited and will mainly take place on Thursday evening or Saturday morning.
The details
Before your first session, I will email you to chat about your goals as a potter, what your current skill level is and what you would like to get out of your session etc. I can then tailor your sessions to your needs, helping you along with your clay adventures!
Price includes the clay and use of the equipment as well the glazing and firing of 1 pot. If you make more and want to fire additional pots, there will be an additional fee of £5 per vessel to cover the cost of the bisque firing, the glaze and the glaze firing. I can supply an apron to wear during your session, but old clothes and shoes are advisable. Crocs or washable shoes are a very good idea!
Please note the drying and firing process can take up to 2 months and you will need to be able to collect your pot when it’s ready or pay for postage if required.
Each lesson is 1.5 hours.

One-to-one lessons
My one-to-one sessions are 1.5 hours and especially tailored to you. You will have my undivided attention and everything will be focused on you and where you are up to in your pottery journey. Complete beginners to improvers are welcome.
If you book a taster session, the clay will be prepared for you so you get as much wheel time during the session as possible. Taster sessions are £50.
If you book a block of 3 lessons, I will teach you how to prepare the clay for throwing and we can work through the skills you want to learn/practise, including throwing and trimming/finishing your piece. A block of 3 lessons is £130.
Lessons for pairs
Bring a friend along for a super fun, screen-free, practical and mindful activity. Sessions for pairs are 1.5 hours of shared wheel use so you can cheer on your friend during their time on the wheel, as well as watching and learning from each other.
If you book a taster session, the clay will be prepared for you so you get as much wheel time during the session as possible. Taster sessions are £70 (£35 per person).
If you book a block of 3 lessons, I will teach you how to prepare the clay for throwing and we can work through the skills you want to learn/practise, including throwing, trimming and finishing your piece. A block of 3 lessons is £180 (£90 per person).
