A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
Bring curiosity; the clay is waiting
A rural pottery studio for first turns on the wheel, handbuilding and painting, with bookable experiences for different ages.
Tarka Pottery is a reason to trade a little screen time for clay. The rural studio in Little Torrington offers experiences ranging from a first turn on the wheel to handbuilding and decorating, with different sessions for adults, families and groups. You do not need to arrive with a polished idea: choosing the experience that suits your confidence and available time is the useful first step. The pleasure is in the process, from shaping something uneven to adding your own marks. Finished work needs firing afterwards, so ask about collection or postage when you book and leave with the anticipation of seeing the result.
