'Have a go' at the popular Melanie Made Mud pottery wheel workshop - you will find us back for a third year set up in the beautiful SURIYA lodge.

You will be guided by Melanie and her team on one of six stand up electric pottery wheels to throw your own pot using stoneware clay. Whilst at THE BIG RETREAT (WALES) 2026 festival it’s the perfect opportunity to try it if you have always wanted to have a go!

You can take your pot home to paint or choose our GLAZE & FIRE upgrade option to have your pot beautifully finished from a choice of 6 stunning glazes.

Look forward to receiving a beautiful pot you have thrown yourself arrive by post 5/6 weeks after the festival, fully functional and beautiful!

PLEASE NOTE: pots that are upgraded with the ‘glaze’ option will take 5-6 weeks to go through the process - pots have to be bone dry before they can be fired and glazed.

The upgrade option can be purchased at the festival.
