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:
- Please note: This is an adult pottery class. Participants aged 11 years and over are welcome, provided they are able to work independently in an adult-paced group class. This is not a children's class.
- 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 ceramics, final results may vary and cannot be guaranteed. This includes, but is not limited to:

- Glaze colours and finishes may vary from samples and are for reference only.
- Textures and fine details may appear differently after firing.
- Finished pieces will shrink by approximately 15% during the drying and firing process.
- Minor imperfections, such as small clay marks or uneven surfaces, may be present.
- Pieces may crack, warp or break during drying or firing.

We take every care throughout the making and firing process; however, these are natural characteristics and risks of working with clay and cannot always be prevented.

If a piece is damaged beyond use during the firing process, we will reimburse the £5 materials and firing fee paid for that piece. Class fees are non-refundable.

Amazing class! Really worth the money - you get to try your hand at making multiple of your own pots and learn so much in the taster class. Amazing teaching.

It was all really lovely. The teacher and his colleagues were great at explaining what to do and then guiding us through it during the session. Got to make 3/4 items in that time. 11/10! Thanks! We’ll come again.
