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.
- 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.

This is a lovely pottery studio, tucked away in Hackney. The three hour taster workshop is just the beginning though. I would love to spend hours at the Potters wheel to perfect this art! It’s a lovely place to be, the teacher is great, and there is loads of support, as well as plenty of potters wheels.

It was a great experience. My first time trying pottery and I'm sure I'll be back for more. The venue was very cute and the instructor was amazing too. She took time explaining, helped readily, never condescending and so pleasant. Made a few pieces amd can't wait to collect them when they're cooked. Lot of fun

So much fun. And such a great teacher. By the end of the class our whole group had successfully thrown multiple bowls/vases.

We had a great time at this beginners pottery class - the teacher was very knowledgeable and also lovely so we had a lot of fun learning the basics of pottery making. I would definitely recommend the class if you want to try out pottery. We’re now looking into doing more classes.

Amazing experience! the staff were so helpful and encouraging. They were very patient with us and didn’t mind repeating themselves many times (we weren’t very good). Are definitely planning to visit again!!
