FAQ’s
How can I book a class?
Please head over to the Classes dropdown menu above to see what types of classes we offer. On the item pages you will find information, entry requirements (if any), class times and prices.
To see what is currently available click “Book Now” to be taken to the booking area, it will show what is currently available.
If no classes are available because they are sold out, there will be a ‘sorry no dates available’ message. If so, please sign up to our newsletter at the bottom of this page to find out when our new classes are released.
Do you do childrens’ classes?
We don’t currently run kid-friendly classes, however this is something we are considering for 2023. We recommend heading over to Clay Studio in Hulme who already run family ceramics sessions, or Brooklyn Pottery in Stockport who do pottery painting for all ages.
Are you wheelchair accessible?
Yes we are! We now have ground floor ramp access, and access to ground floor toilets. You may need a little assistance to get to these as there are some factory-style door fittings roughly 10cm across the bottom of the door frames. We are happy to help with any access requirements so please don’t hesitate to ask us questions to help you feel more comfortable!
Can I just show up and make a pot?
Sorry no, due to demand we only operate bookable classes. Please head to the Classes dropdown menu to see what we have on offer. You may also want to try a pottery painting cafe such as Brooklyn Pottery in Stockport, but check ahead about booking requirements as many pottery shops are extremely popular and you might need to call ahead.
Do you have parking facilities?
We have a limited number of spaces in our private car park, and there is free on-street parking nearby, along Oldfield Road https://goo.gl/maps/82stTCZEAp1yciTc9
I am a complete beginner, what courses can I do?
Lucky for you, all of our courses are suitable for complete beginners! Due to the courses being in high demand, you may not get on one the first time round but don’t sweat because we run 2hr taster sessions every Sunday with much more chance of you getting a place.
You can also sign up to our Waiting List should places become available due to cancellations.
When can I collect my pots?
Our collection slot is Saturdays term-time, from 11am to 4pm, and Mondays term-time 6pm-8pm.
To check term times head over to our Opening Times page from the dropdown above.
Do you do pottery painting?
We’re afraid not, we offer the physical side of working with clay such as handbuilding and throwing. For painting please check out Brooklyn Pottery in Stockport or Pottery Corner in Chorlton.
