Pottery Wheel Taster Session with Roberto Gagliano
Sunday 4th January  2026  | 2:00–4:00 PM
Pottery Gagliano
Ages: 16+ (14+ if accompanied by an adult participant)

Join us for a special two-hour pottery wheel taster session led by master ceramicist Roberto Gagliano. With over 30 years of experience, Roberto will guide you through the magical process of throwing clay on the wheel in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Pottery Gagliano is a bright and spacious pottery studio. This session is a unique opportunity to learn from a true master, explore your creativity, and experience the mindful magic of working with clay.

We suggest you arrive a few minutes early, so you have time to meet the tutor, settle in, and visit our Open House. Everything you need will be provided so you can simply relax and enjoy yourself.

The session begins with a quick tour of the studio, followed by an engaging demonstration by Roberto, where you’ll learn the key techniques of centering, throwing a basic cylinder and finish it. Choose your two best pieces and we’ll glaze them for you and you can pick them up in two week time!

You’ll then get hands-on, creating something of your own in a fun and friendly environment. This is a great chance to experience the joy of throwing, even if you’re a complete beginner.

✨ What You Will Learn:

• How to wedge and prepare your clay
• Centering clay on the wheel – the essential foundation
• Throwing a basic cylinder
• Exploring hand-building techniques and surface decoration
• Tips for working with control and confidence
• How to clean and care for your tools and space

No experience needed — just bring your curiosity!

Spaces are limited, so booking is essential.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Pottery Gagliano.
