About £33–£130, typically £52 for a two-hour beginners' wheel class. Short tasters cost least; full-day workshops cost most.

Tasters last an hour or two; workshops can run a full day. Your pieces are usually ready weeks later after firing.

Usually, yes. Most studios fire and glaze your best pieces and ask you to collect them later.

It takes practice, but a good tutor will help you make a pot in your first session.

Extra pieces, extra firing, delivery and open studio membership are separate costs.
