February Half-Term with Leach Pottery: Young Potter’s Throwing
Find out how potters at Leach Pottery throw on a wheel and try for yourself. Watch how they use a potter’s wheel as they talk through the process step by step and then have a try yourself. The workshop leader will support you as you experiment with different techniques while also ensuring all participants have time to independently focus on developing their skills.
While no pots from the workshop are fired, participants are welcome to display a pot they have made in the Museum Potter’s Corner.

Unless, due to a child’s additional needs, an adult’s presence in the workshop has been pre-arranged, we do not accept accompanying adults into the studio. Due to the current building works onsite there is no parking at the Pottery. Please email ahead should you need to reserve a disabled parking bay.
The workshop will be taking place in Bernard’s Studio. We regret this heritage space is not buggy or wheel chair friendly. Please contact Neil Robinson takepart@leachpottery.com if you want to take part but can’t use the steps and we will arrange an alternative space for your workshop to take place. Parking will be available at St John’s in the Field.
