Pottery Wheel Taster Session with Roberto Gagliano
Sunday 14th December | 2 – 4 PM
Pottery Gagliano Studio
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, celebrating the first weekend of the Artist Open House. 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.

We suggest you arrive a few minutes early, so you have time to meet the tutor, settle in, and put your bags and coats away. 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 and throwing a basic cylinder.

You’ll then get hands-on, creating something of your own in a fun and friendly environment. With 12 pottery wheels available, 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

Held in our bright and spacious 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.

No experience needed — just bring your curiosity!

Spaces are limited, so booking is essential.

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