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.

Such a fun class with a great teacher - Sampada. Also such a lovely studio in a great location, overlooking the canal.

A really friendly and creative class, with plenty of time to explore both the pottery wheel and hand building techniques. Sampada is clearly a very experienced teacher, who helped guide us whilst also allowing us to explore techniques independently. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who wants to start their pottery journey!

The class was really interesting and fun to attend. The teacher gave good instructions and was helpful on the wheel. I would definitely recommend going to others, and I myself would like to attend again.

I would recommend this pottery class to all beginners, it was a relaxed environment and the teacher was great help. I enjoyed my time and didn’t even realise time flew by and I wanted to carry on. It’s a great class to attend with friends and family.

The pottery class is a great experience. Sampada is easy to listen to and keeps the class interesting. It is definitely worth a visit, especially as you get to work on both Wheel Throwing and Hand moulding, and can purchase your own work after the session. Would recommend to anyone who is curious about pottery or just wants to have a good time!

The pottery class is great fun. Sampada is a good teacher and is easy to follow. The class was well thought out as it was divided into two categories which was of wheel throwing and hand moulding. Would definitely recommend anyone to take a class. You will not be disappointed.
