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.

“Really enjoyed this experience which we did for my mums birthday (76). The teacher - Anastasia- was so lovely, kind and patient. Enjoyed making the items out of clay and the pottery wheel was a lot of fun. Looking forward to collecting our thrown pots once they are glazed. Would recommend to anyone - great fun!! 3 hours went so fast!!”

“Naomi ( 12 years ) and myself ( 82 years ) attended yesterday and had a brilliant time,we plan to return again with her sister . It was a lovely friendly atmosphere and Anastasia ( ? ) was very helpful and didn't make you feel uncomfortable when it all went wrong. I didn't finish with anything I can boast about in the future but Naomi can and we agreed we had the best day out”

“Sampada is a brilliant and a very patient teacher. The class was the right mix of learning a new artform and mindfulness. Her studio has a calming vibe and a beautiful setting, perfect for creativity to flow. As a beginner, I learnt both hand building and pottery wheel techniques and didn’t realise where time went! Excited to collect my glazed pieced in a few weeks and will definitely return for more classes”
