Looking for chilled-out London activities to help you escape the hustle and bustle of the city? Sit back, relax and get creative with clay at this pottery making workshop in Stoke Newington!

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!

- Your finished pieces will be fired and glazed, ready to collect 4 weeks after the class.

-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.

*** 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.

This was such a fun, informative, inspiring class! The instructors were the perfect balance of helpful, knowledgable and encouraging - they give you the tools you need but also the space to experiment and go at your own pace. I was a complete beginner and I left with two pieces I was absolutely thrilled with. Couldn’t recommend this experience more!

We booked the pottery making taster which was around 3.5 hours! Our teacher Rosa was great, really interactive course and easy to follow. We had Cherry and Nathalie helping as well who were brilliant at answering questions and assisting with the throwing part of the class. We definitely preferred the throwing part which was the majority of the time. The handmade part was also fun, but we clicked with the throwing more.

Ruby and her co-host in pottery delight were really brilliant - setting a tone balancing clear instructions, patience and support, and good fun and humour. The class wasn't too full, there was plenty of opportunity for 1:1 hands on help. It was a joy to learn something new in a beautiful studio.

The deluxe taster class today was amazing! Rosa was a phenomenal teacher - she was great at explaining the steps of using the wheel and our hands/fingers, and getting into the details on not only what we are doing but the reason behind what we do so, everything make sense. I liked how the class paced and the whole vibe - it was easy going and a safe place for everyone to take part in. Even as a beginner and as someone who is not the most artistic, I never once felt left out or insecure. Rosa made the whole experience very fun and I cannot wait to see the outcome of my pottery. Shout out to Rosa, I couldn't ask for a better teacher!

Teacher was excellent. However added cost of £5 for each item was disappointing on top of £50 class fee, especially if had 3 plus items and 2 were tiny in size. I had thought total was £5 supplement for kiln not each item. I've been to other classes where class fee was inclusive of kiln. Wouldn't go again as too expensive.
