This is a fun activity in Shoreditch, London

Join Art Play’s relaxing hand-building pottery workshop in London — a creative, hands-on experience designed to help you unwind, switch off, and make something with your own hands.

Perfect for complete beginners or those with some experience, this session focuses on enjoying the process rather than achieving perfection.

You’ll be guided step-by-step by an experienced pottery instructor as you explore intuitive hand-building techniques in a fun, supportive studio environment. Expect playful exercises, tactile clay work, and relaxed creative time designed to help you slow down and reconnect with your creative side.

By the end of the session, you’ll have created your own unique ceramic piece to take home.

Everything is included — clay, tools, materials, and full guidance from our resident artists — so you can simply turn up and get stuck in.

Our studio also features a café and bar serving coffee, wine, beer, and soft drinks, making it easy to turn your workshop into a social experience.

Perfect for:
A creative date or relaxed night out
Groups, birthdays, or team activities
Anyone looking for a mindful creative break in London

Open to adults and children aged 9+, with younger participants attending alongside an adult.

Optional extras:
Pizza, prosecco, and wine can be added when booking to make your experience even more enjoyable.

Please note:
Please arrive on time — late arrivals (10+ minutes) may not be admitted to avoid disruption to the class
Sessions may be rescheduled or cancelled if minimum attendance is not met

Sorcha was a great teacher. The class was fun and good for beginners. It was slightly too quick though and we spent a little too long practicing making coils, it would have been nice to be told sooner that we should now start making our real design so it wasn’t so rushed. The venue was really nice.

Had the most WONDERFUL time at this class! Sorcha is an incredible teacher—patient, knowledgeable, and so encouraging. She guided us through every step of the process, making it such a fun and engaging experience. I highly recommend this activity for anyone looking to unleash their creativity and reconnect with their inner child! ✨

Really enjoyed making a small coil pot with this session. We'll organised. Welcomed when we arrived and we'd also ordered pizza, which came after the session. It would been useful to be told at the start that the clay wouldn't hold water when lots of example of vases were shown. The tutor gave clear instructions otherwise, provided a range of tools and it was an enjoyable experience.
