Looking to get creative and try something new? This beginner-friendly pottery class in London is the perfect way to explore the art of wheel throwing — no experience needed!
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the basics of making pottery on the wheel, guided step-by-step by experienced teacher Amanda, who brings over 17 years of pottery know-how and a relaxed, welcoming teaching style.
With a small class size (max 8 people), you’ll get plenty of individual attention as you learn how to centre your clay, shape your pot, and enjoy the process of creating something from scratch.
Whether you're flying solo, planning a unique date, or coming with friends, you’ll leave feeling proud, grounded, and maybe even a little addicted to the wheel!
Choose Your Creative Experience:
CRAFT – Make a Pot (Take It Home Same Day) Best for one-off experiences & instant creativity.
Use air-dry clay to make your pots, and take them home immediately in a protective box. Once dry, you can paint them at your leisure (we’ll explain how). These are perfect for display — but not food-safe or waterproof.
ART – Make, Paint & Fire a Pot. Perfect for those who want to glaze, fire, and use their creations.
This option includes two visits:
- Your private throwing workshop
- A return visit 1-12 weeks later (Tues pm or Sat am) for a 1.5-hour painting session
We’ll dry and fire your pots twice in our kiln (up to 1220°C) — a process that takes 2–3 weeks. Once fired, your pots will be food-safe, oven- and dishwasher-friendly. You’ll have up to 12 weeks to collect them or request delivery (extra fee applies).
