Couples Wheelwork Pottery (ASC148)

Get ahead of the most romantic night of the year with a couple’s pottery class to learn a new skill or bond over clay!

What will you learn on this course?

Join us in our fully equipped studio for a wheelwork pottery class, for those Ghost inspired moments!

Your tutor will demonstrate the key stages of clay preparation and wheel throwing before you get stuck in to have a go yourself. Learn the technique of turning to finish your work ready to be fired. Each participant will aim to produce at least two finished bowls or cylinders.

The tutor will encourage you to develop your skills and through repetition to build your confidence, encouraging you to be selective about work that is retained for firing, so that you deepen your understanding of the art of wheelwork.

Please note that your work will need time to dry out and be fired twice in MAC’s kilns. Your work will be ready for collection up to 4 weeks after the date of your workshop. We will contact you when the work is ready. When you arrive at MAC please ask for an Art Studio Technician or a Duty Manager who will be happy to help you retrieve your piece from our secure pottery cages.

By the nature of ceramics there is always a risk of technical failure, cracks or explosions for which we cannot be held responsible.

Who is this course for?

This course is suitable for adults aged 18+ years. It is open to beginner level students.

At the heart of MAC is a focus on accessibility and inclusion. Please contact us to discuss your specific access needs. You do need dexterity in your hands to work with clay. The room is wheelchair accessible. A personal assistant or companion must book a complimentary ticket if attending to provide support.

Do you need to bring anything?

You don’t need to bring anything. All materials and equipment are provided. You may want to bring your own apron and/or old clothes to put on. Clay can be messy but does wash off.

Are there any additional costs?

The price is per couple which includes all materials and firing of your work.
