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

The teacher was very friendly and bubbly and the activity was fun overall, we learned a bit about pottery techniques. We did however feel as though the time slot was quite short so she worked a bit fast. We'd love if she gave soft yet clear time callouts for the group for when she'd like the group to advance to a later stage. It was also quite unfortunate that to paint your creations, you'd need to find time to come again another day; time is quite short nowadays! All in all, definitely something to try with a friend or significant other!

Really fun class, nice instructor and small group size. This was very good value for money and you can make as many things as there is time for which I thought was good!

Great experience working with air dry clay, teacher was lovely and guided us perfectly, explaining how to build up the clay. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to try air dry clay for 1st time, or as we did a fun girls day out. Staff @art play were fantastic as usual.
