This is a fun activity in Canary Wharf. , London

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).

Why People Love This Class:
It’s fun, hands-on, and instantly rewarding
It’s calming and grounding
You create something uniquely yours
Supportive, expert teaching
Perfect for pairs, pals or solo time
A memorable London experience

Location Bonus:
Held at the unique Trinity Buoy Wharf — with river views of the O2, the city’s only lighthouse, and a creative atmosphere — you can explore the wharf, grab a bite at Orchard Café, or head over to Canary Wharf for drinks - this isn’t just a class, it’s an experience.

If you're looking for an authentic pottery session, this is the place! There is a range of classes/activities to book from. Our class was super intimate with a wonderful teacher, who took the time to make sure we all understood what we were doing. She allowed us to be free and create the shapes we wanted and didn't restrict us to all creating the same thing. Although our session was only 45 minutes, we weren't rushed and had enough time to learn all the steps for creating our pieces. We will definitely be booking a longer session next time. Fantastic experience!
