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.
- A materials fee of £5 per piece of pottery kept is NOT included in the class and is payable on the day of your workshop.
-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.

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.

This was so much fun! I got this as a birthday present and had the best time - we were taught how to use the wheel and then had time to make 3-4 pieces, which we could buy at the end of the class. The two teachers were really helpful and would fix things when they went wrong, and gave as much help as we wanted or needed. I’d go back in a heartbeat!

I really enjoyed the class and has definitely made me keen to do more pottery making. Everything was explained so well and the passion from the teachers was lovely. The studio is very nice and atmosphere of class was great. Everyone left having made something and was fun to be able to both try the wheel and do pinch pots too. I would highly recommend and a huge thank you to Nam and Cherry for your teaching and help. I’ll be recommending this intro class and intend to sign up to the beginners course soon.
