What to Expect When Joining a Pottery Class
Pottery classes offer a unique opportunity to explore creativity, learn a new skill, and unwind from daily stress. Whether you are a complete beginner or have some experience, joining a pottery class can be a rewarding and enjoyable experience. This article will guide you through what to expect when you sign up for a pottery class, helping you prepare and make the most of your time.
When you first join a pottery class, you will likely be introduced to the basics of working with clay. This includes understanding the different types of clay, how to prepare it, and the essential tools you will use. Most classes start with simple hand-building techniques such as pinching, coiling, and slab building. These methods help you get comfortable with the material before moving on to more advanced techniques like wheel throwing. Alex Allpress will demonstrate each step clearly, and you will have plenty of time to practice. Expect to get your hands dirty as you learn to shape and mould the clay. It’s a tactile experience that requires patience and a willingness to experiment. You will learn about the properties of clay and how it behaves when wet and dry.

Sometimes in school there seems to be a pressure to hide who you are and fit in. MPYT is a safe place to come and be the big (or small) version (or versions) of your unique selves with people who will celebrate you for being just that. MPYT offers a supportive creative ‘home’ for you as you explore your adult self, where you will be heard and treated as an equal and be able to ask life’s big questions. You will be encouraged to explore the edges of who you are and what you are capable of with supportive friends and the best theatre making people we can get a hold of.
This is the core youth theatre group; the Tuesday evening workshop and session that’s been running since 1987.
From January to July 2025 we are inviting award winning billingual storyteller Tamar Williams to lead some sessions and also Bethan Dear who is a theatre maker who has worked in Wales and London for 20+ years and is brilliant! Our young leaders in training Alice, Melody and Ben (sometimes all of them, and sometimes others like Cai and Ellis) will also be assisting the sessions too, they are ex-members themselves and are there to welcome and support you and get you settled in.
A typical session will involve theatre games and exercises, devising challenges; trust & focus games; and other stuff like physical theatre; mask-work; design; puppetry; circus; singing; stage-combat… ooh, we could go on, but you’ll have to come and see for yourself.
Fancy joining in? Come and give it a few goes and see if it is for you, attend the first 2 sessions risk free.
