About this tour
Spend two and a half hours at a pottery wheel in Menorca, shaping clay into a tangible keepsake of your stay. You'll work with a local artisan, learning fundamental techniques whilst surrounded by the island's unhurried pace. Walk away with a functional piece you've crafted yourself—far more rewarding than souvenir shop shelves—and the satisfaction of supporting a working craftsperson rather than mass production.

What to expect
Expect to arrive at a working pottery studio where the instructor will demonstrate wheel techniques before you take control. Your hands will get wet and clay-covered as you experiment with centering and shaping—it's messier and more tactile than you might imagine. The first attempts rarely look perfect, and that's entirely the point. By the end, you'll have a recognisable piece ready for firing; the studio will handle kiln work and arrange collection or posting later. The rhythm of the wheel and the physical focus tend to quiet racing minds.
Good to know
Wear clothes you don't mind staining. The studio provides aprons and all equipment. Pieces require kiln firing after your session, typically ready within two weeks. Inquire about posting options if you're leaving before collection. Accessible for wheelchair users and families with prams.
