2026-08-18 09:30 - 15:30 (Europe/London) | Eden Tearoom & Galleries, Course Lane, NEWBURGH, LANCASHIRE, WN8 7UB, United Kingdom
Our newly extended Open Studio Access allows you to come and use the pottery workshop facilities to create your own makes. This can be hand-building projects or on the potters wheel. You can come for 2, 4 or 6 hours. This is not a taught session so although our Pottery Teachers will be on hand for support and advice they will not teach one-to-one.
If you book for 2 or 4 hours please email workshops@edentearoom.com to let us know what time you will be attending so we can ensure there is enough room for everyone.
From February 2026 we have a new arrangement starting. Open Access will run every Tuesday from 9.30am – 3.30pm. You must buy your clay from us (cost covers clay, glazes and 2 firings). Hourly Open Access rates have been reduced.

Potters Wheel Taster Tues 18th August 6pm
2026-08-18 18:00 - 19:30
This 90-minute potters wheel taster will introduce you to the basic principles of making a small pot. You will be shown how to prepare the clay, centre the clay onto the potters wheel and how to manipulate the clay to create a form. This class is taught by our professional Pottery Teachers who have years of experience and teaching. They will give step-by-step instructions, perform demonstrations and support you in the process. You will get two 400g balls of clay to create two pots.
Once the class is finished, the work needs 5-7 days to dry out before going into the kiln for its first firing to 1000oC. After that we will glaze your pieces in colours you have chosen during the class and your work is then re-fired to over 1200oC. Once cooled and wrapped, we will contact you for collection. The whole process takes approximately 2 weeks.
For your safety we advise that no open toed shoes are worn, long hair is tied back and nails are short if possible. We will provide aprons but please wear clothes and shoes you don’t mind getting clay on. Please pass this information onto everyone you are booking places for.
Your workshop will be run by our Pottery Teacher Vikki.
