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

Being a beginner, it was great how the teacher carefully demonstrated each step. They were very patient and accommodating 10/10. Would definitely come again

We did a great pottery class with Rosalyn! The class was relaxed and really enjoyable but she gave great tips and took us through various techniques. We also ordered some pizza and prosecco which was a nice added touch.

I arrived 18 minutes late to the Hand Building Pottery Class and was told I couldn’t enter because it would “disturb the class.” While I understand there’s a policy that prohibits entry if you’re more than 10 minutes late, I was very disappointed that there was no option to reschedule or make alternate arrangements. Instead, my class was outright canceled without any flexibility or understanding. This left a sour experience, especially considering I had been looking forward to it. A little empathy or a solution-based approach would have gone a long way.
