On Sunday 28th June we’ll be hosting The Big Potshop - Clearance Sale at Familia, it's an annual event where you can buy discounted work from around 20 different ceramics makers.
All the pieces available have minor defects, are old stock or just weren’t quite how the maker intended, so prices are marked right down for you to score some bargains!
5% of all sales will be donated to charity. We have chosen to split this between George House Trust and Medical Aid for Palestinians.
Open to all, with refreshments and toilets available onsite.
Entry is free, but booking a ticket below will allow you to skip the entry queue on the day!
Frequently asked questions
What shall I bring?
It's best to wear clothes you don't mind getting messy, tie long hair back and have short nails. We'll provide aprons and all tools and equipment. We also have a spacious bathroom if you'd prefer to get changed before or after.
What can we make?
Wheel throwing is harder than it looks. We'll show you how to make small items like bowls, mini vases or cups. In your first ever wheel session we don't recommend coming with set ideas as to what you'd like to make, just be prepared to go with the flow, be challenged, get your hands dirty and have some fun!
Do we get to glaze our pieces?
No. In one-off sessions all the finishing and glazing of your work is done by our team. This is because these steps need to be completed a couple of weeks after making. In most cases you'll be able to choose your glaze colour before you leave the studio. If you'd like to learn all steps of the process, please take a look at our courses.
Can we take home items on the day?
No. You'll need to leave them with us to glaze and fire, which takes 3-4 weeks. We'll let you know when they are ready to pick up, or we can post items out to you for £5.
Is it suitable for teens?
This class is great for ages 14+, it makes a great activity for a teen and an adult to try together. Younger children are better suited to our child specific classes which run in the school holidays.
What's the cancellation policy?
We require 14 days notice to refund or reschedule your booking.
Where less than 14 -3 days notice is provided, we will provide you with a refund if we are able to re-sell your spot. Where less than 3 days is given, we do not provide refunds.
Is there parking?
Onsite parking is also available but it is charged at £6, cash only. You can find cheaper and and free parking on Higher Ardwick at weekends, at Powerleague and on Union Street and Temperance Street. Please allow time to find parking so we can start the workshop promptly.
