Rent a Pottery Wheel at Trylla

Calling all makers! Head over to Trylla's quirky Bristol pottery studio, use their potter's wheel and throw to your heart's content! In this experience, you'll have a whole hour to use their wheel and make whatever you want. Use as much of your host's materials as you need - the price also covers your firing costs too.

What to expect:

  • 1 hour on Trylla's studio’s RK-5T SHIMPO tabletop wheel
  • 30 minutes for you to decorate what you made with Trylla's selection of coloured slips
  • As much earthenware clay as you need in either terracotta or white
  • Firing of your pieces to bisque
  • 15 minutes of set up time and 15 minutes of clean down time at the end
  • Tuition is not included, so you will need to know how to use a pottery wheel independently

About the wheel:

This is a tabletop wheel and so it can be moved closer or further away from you as you work. It is electric and uses a lever to adjust the speed - making it much easier to use than a wheel that has a foot pedal. The wheel has removable batts, so you won’t accidentally warp your thrown pots as you slide them off the wheel head!

This is ideal for throwing small to medium pots. (You may struggle if you are throwing 4kgs or more.) You will have the use of all the studio tools, wheel batts or whatever else you might need, but feel free to bring your own along. Don't miss this fantastic opportunity to jump on the wheel and make your next masterpiece!

Age restrictions: 16+

Adult (previous experience on the wheel required) £30

Trylla was created as a playful environment for people to experiment with ceramics and other crafts. It's run by Alice, Trylla's resident pottery nerd. Her goal with Trylla is to make ceramics more accessible to all budding potters in Bristol. It’s an emporium of weirdness, with walls covered in oddities in every colour you could imagine. Trylla has regular pottery experiences from wheel making to hand building, with a rainbow of glaze colours available. It also has a shop selling ceramics supplies and a range of handmade products from local makers.
