Rent a Wheel

Calling all makers! Head over to Trylla's quirky Bristol pottery studio, use our potter's wheel and throw to your heart's content! 

In this experience, you'll have a whole hour to use our wheel and make whatever you want. Use as much of our materials as you need. We will ask you for £5 at the end if you would like to fire your work.

    Make what you want

    This is an untaught session so you'll need some experience on the wheel, but you will be let loose to make anything you like! Explore your imagination and see what you can create.

  • Two pottery wheels with vases set up on a table at Trylla Bristol, with shelves of paints in the background

    Access all areas!

    You will have access to all of our materials, tools and equipment for the session, as well as our huge variety of slips for decorating your work. We'll even fire the finished product for you.

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
