Stoke-on-Trent

The Main Event

Looking for wholesome things to do as a family that are fun, creative, and a little bit messy?

This pottery workshop in Stoke-on-Trent—aka the World Capital of Ceramics—is the perfect way to spend quality time together and make something truly unique.

Perfect for 1 adult and 1 child or 2 adults and 2 children, this pottery class is all about getting stuck in and having fun with clay! You'll start by shaping small creations like fridge magnets, plant labels, pinch pots, or even your own quirky clay creature. While this isn’t a full throwing course, you’ll still get a chance to try the pottery wheel and have your very own Pottery Throwdown moment!

With expert guidance, you’ll shape, sculpt, and create something totally your own. Two of your pieces will be fired in the kiln, ready for collection after glazing.

This pottery experience isn’t just a fun way to get creative—it’s the perfect weekend or school holiday activity to keep the kids entertained while you all learn something new together. Whether you're shaping clay for the first time or rediscovering your artistic side, it’s a great way to bond and bring home a keepsake of your time spent together. Plus, it makes an unforgettable gift experience for families who love trying something different!
