An experience for lovers of ceramics, design and English heritage or those looking for an insight into the world famous Wedgwood brand, this Wedgwood Ceramic Experience and Afternoon Tea for Two will get you to the heart of high-class pottery making with a tour and a session of hands-on crafting.
You’ll see the Wedgwood factory process up close as pieces are made by hand before being fired in the kiln, ready to be finished with the skill of master crafters. Moving from present to past you’ll learn about founder Josiah Wedgwood in the museum, and afterwards you’ll take part in a tea tasting along with a delicious afternoon tea in the Wedgwood Tea Room.
Of course, seeing is only half of the story, so roll up your sleeves in the Master Craft Studio for expert tutelage in the art of clay throwing on a potter’s wheel. Your hand-made creation will be fired and sent to your home, ready to take pride of place. There's also the chance to design and create your very own Wedgwood plate.

"An Excellent Present"
Now, normally I wouldn't be one to write a review, however I just felt I had to after the hour conversation I just had with my parents.
We bought this as a birthday present for both mum and dad (61st), and they booked their trip for today.
I cannot stress just how impressed and how much they enjoyed the whole day, so much so they have said they want and will be going back.
The staff, they say, were so very polite and extremely informative and helpful. Even when they were walking through the working area everyone was willing to talk and explain what they were doing.
This Experience has been highly recommended by the two of them, and so if anyone is struggling (as I was) to find a unique gift for a loved one, this is most definitely the one.
