Arty crafty fun for all ages and abilities

Our workshop and party sessions are based around time at both the wheel and the sculpting table. We’ll show you the ropes and get you started and from there the clay becomes your own unique creation as you shape and then paint your masterpieces with guidance from an experienced tutor.

We cater for all kinds of groups and gatherings, if you can’t see what you want here then get in touch and we’ll see what we can come up with…

Clay days at The Pottery Parlour

Clay Day workshops are fun and dynamic sessions for everyone to explore their creativity for up to 2 hours (younger children may need less than 2 hours to create their fabulous masterpieces).

They are a great way to entertain children or grandchildren during the school holidays, and the perfect thing to do if you're holidaying in Dorset and want to do something really fun!

Older children can be left unattended but younger children may need adult supervision.
