Get Stuck In – Pottery Events & Workshops

We love sharing the magic of clay. Whether you're throwing your first pot or getting your hands dirty for the hundredth time, we run workshops and pop-up events all year round. Below is a taste of what we offer — and if you’d like to be first in line for upcoming classes, make sure to sign up to our newsletter for updates, discounts, and more.

📍 Structured Pottery Classes

Join us each spring and autumn for relaxed, hands-on sessions at Crianlarich Village Hall and The Ardchattan Centrein Bonawe. Whether you're a beginner or brushing up on your skills, we cover everything from throwing and hand-building to glazing and firing.

Our classes are friendly, informal, and tend to fill up fast, early booking is a must.

👉 We also travel!
If you’re part of a community centre, school, arts group, SEN programme, or local club, we’d love to bring the wheels to you. Mobile pottery sessions are a brilliant way to get creative, build confidence, and have a good laugh while learning. Just drop us a line to see what’s possible.

🎪 Festival & Pop-Up Events

In the warmer months, you’ll spot us at festivals and public gatherings with our full mobile pottery studio - marquee, wheels, and all. No need to book, just wander over and try your hand at the wheel with a fun taster session. Check with event organisers below for specific dates and details.

🫳 Book Us for Your Event

Planning something special? We can tailor pottery workshops for festivals, private parties, team-building days, and other events. From full setups to flexible activities, we’ll bring everything needed to turn your gathering into something hands-on and memorable.

Let’s make something brilliant together.
