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.

We had such a fun experience learning how to throw and hand build pottery with our lovely teacher. Sampada created a relaxed atmosphere but was also so informative and helpful which made for a great first time experience. Definitely want to take up pottery after this and would recommend this experience to others.

Absolutely beautiful class. The venue is calming and has a lovely view over the river. We learnt so much in the class and I felt like I walked away with a new skill. Love the time spent in both sections, wheel throwing and hand building with clay. Nothing felt rushed and the teacher was incredibly patience with us and knowledgeable. Thanks so much for the unforgettable experience. I’ll be coming back for sure !
