Pottery Wheel Throwing and Hand Building Taster Workshop Reviews

Read ClassBento UK Reviews

This is a fun activity in Wembley Central, London

Join this beginner-friendly pottery taster class in North West London and find a calm, plant-filled retreat away from the rush of the city. Set right on the Grand Union Canal at The Slightly Curious Studio, this workshop is the perfect way to spend a few hours whether you're planning a unique date, celebrating a birthday, or finally ticking "learn to throw a pot" off your bucket list.

Over three hours, you'll get hands-on with the full pottery experience. You'll move through three distinct areas of the craft:

- Wheel throwing – Master the basics of shaping clay on the potter's wheel with expert guidance.
- Hand building – Learn how to pinch and coil your way to a unique creation.
- Decoration – Add those final personal touches to your work before it's ready for the kiln.

There's no need to feel any creative anxiety; our tutors have been teaching for years and keep groups small so you'll get plenty of personal attention. We'll have everything set up for you – including the clay, tools, and aprons – so you can simply show up and enjoy the friendly, low-pressure atmosphere.

You'll finish your London pottery session with a newfound sense of confidence and a piece or two of your own work to collect once they've been fired and glazed. It's a wonderful opportunity to switch off and enjoy the rewarding feeling of creating something beautiful from scratch.

Sampada is brilliant as a teacher, provided me with a safe space to learn and enjoy the process! This isn’t my first time at the studio and won’t be my last because I truly loved every minute. Very therapeutic and lovely session. Cant wait for my final products! Excellent space for a solo date or a date with a loved one or group of friends, there’s something for everyone.

The teacher was very patient and kind. She made it a nice and calm environment to learn a new skill. There was an age range of people in the class and she adapted the way she taught to each age range very well. We made a couple of hand built items and couple of products on the wheel. The wheel was a lot harder than I thought it would be, but with the help of the teacher I feel I learnt some basic skills :).

Anastasia was fantastic from the moment she opened the door. She was absolutely amazing with Karen who has Down Syndrome as she was with the rest of the class. She explained everything so well and the outcome was amazing. Karen made 3 pottery items and we have paid the extra for them to be professionally finished and we look forward to receiving them within the next few weeks/ The location of the class was great and was overlooking the canal. The other members of the group were lovely and such a wonderful was to spend a Saturday afternoon. I would highly recommend booking to do a pottery class with this wonderful company.
