NOTES: Please note that your 45-minute Pottery Throwing Experience will take place on one of our three Potters’ wheels, so your experience may be with other participants or, why not book with other couple friends.
Aprons will be provided, but please note that the pottery-throwing process can be messy, so any clothing may receive splashes of clay or get clay dust.
On occasion, some pots may crack or break in the kiln firing process, and this is beyond our control. In the unfortunate event that this should happen, we will contact you to discuss it.

BOOKINGS: Require a minimum of 72 hours’ notice
Unfortunately, refunds cannot be given for cancellations. Denby Pottery Village will make every effort to ensure that your Valentine’s ‘Ghost’ Experience goes ahead on the confirmed date and time. However, should unforeseen conditions prevail, an alternative date or time will be offered or a full refund given.
