This is a fun activity in Stoke Newington, London

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!

Please note:
- This Workshop is only for age 11 or above.
- 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!
- During winter, it would be a bit cold in the studio. Whilst we try our best to keep the studio warm, please prepare an extra coat or clothes to keep yourself warm during class.
- Please enter and leave the studio quietly - the studio is in the middle of the neighbourhood!

*** 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.

We had such a fun time at our class! Our teacher was amazing and found the time to help everyone so we left with several pieces being made. Highly recommend.

Great introductory class - great balance of teaching the basics and making sure every student can create at least 2 pieces. Teachers are great - fun, very available for help, and strike a good balance between letting you do mistakes and correcting. Cherry, Reva and Rosa were brilliant !

We attended the taster class on a Sunday in early January and had an absolutely wonderful time! Our instructor, Maddy, started the class with a demonstration of what we would be doing in class for the day before guiding us through the steps of pottery wheel throwing. I can’t commend Maddy enough for being so supportive, attentive, and welcoming which each and every member of the class. I was particularly grateful for the support of the more experienced potters working on their own projects who jumped in to save one of my failed attempts at a small mug! We’re looking forward to joining Maddy and the team for another taster (or possibly for a course) at some point in the future :)

Rosa led a fantastic pottery class for beginners. Her teaching style was warm and relaxed, making everyone welcome even if they’d never done it before. It was also very clear with easy to follow instructions and plenty of hands on support. Thank you Rosa and Charlie!
