About us..........
Tin Can Pottery is a really cool, unique space, for people who want to get together and have some fun with clay.
You'll learn new skills and create some really special memories.
We are surrounded by fields in rural West Norfolk, 20 mins from Sandringham and 40 mins from the stunning North Norfolk Coast.
2 hour Throwing Taster Sessions - £75 adult / £50 child
5 week Courses - including Raku firing - £250 per person
See Taster Session and Courses for more detail, availability and bookings.
Unlike other pottery's, our group sizes are intentionally kept small, allowing Ben to dedicate more time and attention to each individual, this more personalized approach enhances the overall experience for everyone involved.
We also offer Raku firing as part of our 5 week courses.
Ben adapts the sessions according to learners needs and we offer discounts for larger groups, birthday gatherings, hen do's, team building etc.
For ages 8 upwards
(8 - 16's need to be accompanied by a paying adult).
Please get in touch if you have any other queries.
Pottery Experience Vouchers are also available and make a wonderful gift.
Your Tutor
Ben has a degree in Fine Art Sculpture and taught Ceramics, 3D Design and Sculpture in Higher Education for over 20 years.
Ben has a wealth of experience and infinite patience, and enjoys teaching people of all abilities.
Ben's relaxed approach to teaching will enable you to switch off from the stresses of everyday life.
He loves experimenting with different techniques and processes, especially alternative firings, such as Raku, which adds to the excitement and unpredictable nature of working with clay.
We have had some wonderful comments from our potters:
'I recently booked onto a 5 week course at Tin Can Pottery with Ben and I can honestly say it was one of the best things I've ever done! Ben's teaching skills and knowledge are truly wonderful - I can honestly say this course was worth every penny! I'm so chuffed with my Raku fired pieces and I hope to book back onto another course one day!'
I had a brilliant time with Ben at Tin Can Pottery today. Set in a really beautiful location, Ben is warm and welcoming and a brilliant teacher in his quirky well equiped studio. I had never touched clay beforeand was amazedat the results I acheived due to his pateint teaching. Highly recomended, I did the taster session today but am about to sign up for the 5 week course
'I absolutely loved the day at the pottery, it was the best day I have had since loosing my sight'
