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.

What a fantastic Mother’s Day class with Sampada! My technique was awful but Sampada was patient and quick to help and rectify my mistakes each time. The class flew by but you get so much out of the 3hrs. Worth every penny, can’t wait to pick up my creation in a month.

I would highly recommend this class - very structured, there was a lot of information to take out. The venue was quite spacious and well-lit. There were plenty of various materials to use. I have learnt some basics of the hand building technique as well as wheel-throwing pottery - I would like to continue later in the future.

Amazing class! The instructors were helpful throughout the whole process and provided clear and detailed guidance. The class was small, which allowed them to focus on everyone. Definitely recommend this! :)
