During this beginner-friendly class, you'll learn all the tips and tricks needed to transform handmade clay into bespoke pottery pieces. Your expert guide will demonstrate hand-building techniques using coils and slabs before covering wheel throwing as you prepare to get hands-on with your clay!

Whether you're a complete beginner or a more experienced clay crafter, this workshop is a great chance to unwind in a London pottery studio as you let your creative side take over.

At the end of the class, your beautiful pottery pieces will be taken away to be biscuit fired and glazed, ready to collect after 4 weeks to display at home or give away as handmade gifts!

-Pieces are ready around 4-5 weeks after the class. We will send you an email when they are ready to be collected. Please check you email and spam folder. We will keep your pots in the studio for a month. If not collected in time they may be disposed of.
- It is your responsibility to arrive on time for the class. Upon arriving to your class 30 minutes or later, we have the right to reject you joining the class without any refund or rescheduling.
- No cancellations or reschedules allowed.
- During summer, there is no air conditioning in the studio, so please bring water and dress for the heat!

*** Please note that due to the nature of clay, results may differ from expectation, including but not limited to:
- Glaze may vary from examples and are for reference only
- Texture created may not shown in the final result
- Pots will appear smaller from what you created from class, since clay have a 15% shrinkage
- Pots may not be completely cleaned and may have small lumps of clay
- Pots may be cracked or exploded

 We try our best to mitigate this problem but these are inevitable. Unfortunately, the class is non-refundable and we are only able to reimburse you if your work exploded.

My partner & I really enjoyed the taster workshop class. Rosa is a great, skilled tutor, with a relaxed teaching style and good pacing. We never felt rushed and both made multiple pieces. We were afraid the studio would be cold inside, but it was fine. Bonus: we got the Ghost movie song on the radio while we were throwing!

Hak was great and Cherry was efficient, granted I don’t believe Pottery is my true calling in life it was a good class w/ teacher led learning and ample time to create 2-3 pieces even for beginners. I stopped at one as it was pretty ugly anyway and I was cold. Only thing to note was yes the room is cold as it’s a warehouse type building so wrap up as only one of the two rows of stations had overhead heating, I didn’t notice til 2/3 of way through class and we were all on the unheated side, so would have been proactive of the teachers to just bring over some of the multiple heaters dotted around for the cold side without being asked but we move. No pictures as I was too cold to care at that point.

I really enjoyed the class, TJ is an incredible teacher and the 5 stars is based on this really Couple of bits of feedback, I do think it’s cheeky for participants to pay for their work given how expensive the class is, I would have expected at least one item free. Also the studio is ridiculously cold, would not go back there in winter.

I joined the 3 hour taster session and loved every minute. The perfect mix of creativity and mindfulness on a Sunday morning! Maddy was a great teacher, so welcoming and helpful, very clear instructions. I may now have to sign up to a course to fuel the addiction!
