One Day Pottery Course at Vinegar Hill Pottery

Ever wanted to have a go on a potter's wheel? The One Day Pottery Course at Vinegar Hill Pottery is the perfect introduction to the rewarding world of pottery throwing.

Held in Vinegar Hill Pottery's purpose-built studio in the beautiful coastal village of Milford on Sea, this hands-on experience gives complete beginners and hobby potters alike the chance to learn from master potter David Rogers while enjoying a relaxed and creative day in Hampshire.

With just eight places available on each course, every participant receives plenty of personal tuition and support throughout the day.

Learn to Throw Pots on the Wheel

The course focuses on the traditional art of wheel throwing, helping you build confidence and develop the key skills needed to create your own pottery.

Whether you've never touched clay before or have some previous experience, David tailors the tuition to suit individual abilities and learning styles.

By the end of the day, you'll have created a range of pots and gained a solid understanding of the pottery-making process.

Enjoy a Full Day Experience

The One Day Pottery Course is designed to be as enjoyable as it is educational.

The day begins at 9am and includes:

Expert tuition from master potter David Rogers
Hands-on pottery wheel experience
Tea, coffee and homemade cake mid-morning
A delicious two-course home-cooked lunch
Afternoon pottery session in the studio
Firing and glazing of three pots to keep

All meals are freshly prepared by a professional chef and served in the atmospheric gallery or courtyard when the weather allows.

Small Groups and Personal Attention

With a maximum of eight participants per course, Vinegar Hill Pottery offers a much more personal experience than many larger workshops.

The small group size allows David to spend time with each individual, helping you improve quickly and get the most from your day.
It's a friendly, supportive environment where creativity is encouraged and everyone is welcome.
