The facilities are available from 10am to 5pm, but you can come when you like.

We are taking bookings from individuals and groups, subject to 12 people maximum. We do fully tuitored sessions for new comers or those wishing to learn more - or cheaper "come and play days" (aimed at those with previous experience such as evening class students). Follow this link about "tasters"

We will be firing pots in the Raku kiln, we have a stock of suitable biscuit fired pots or people can fire ones they have made previously. You apply the various glazes & then watch the firing. After cooling, you clean them up & take them home. Allow at least 3 hours for this. Take a look at the webpages about raku for more information.

Pottery wheels are available for those that want to try them, tuition will be given at various levels upon demand.

Wear old clothes & shoes (waterproof, but nothing too inflammable).

Bring a camera, food & drink. Sometimes an urn of soup will be available - especially if you ask beforehand.
Booking is advisable if you want to eat at The Wishing Well Café - either at lunch time or for a cream tea - Tel 01305 814470.

The fees are variable, for a fully tutored day, including a Raku pot and a lump of clay, it is £40 per person or £70 for two people.

For evening class students or others with no tuition the fees are lower, subject to space.
