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

Great value for money, teachers are so lovely and helpful. Learnt new techniques with air dry clay, and made some cute pots.

We had the best time in our pottery class with our teacher Sophia, she was so friendly and attentive. She made us feel comfortable and was able to answer any questions. Would definitely recommend this class, it's a perfect activity to do with friends/ family or a date night.

Very pleasant teacher, Sorcha, very understanding of a newbie, and makes the processes easy to understand. She is so enthusiastic about the clay that we pupils fell in love with it too!

Amazing class! Thomas made us feel right at home, had a right good laugh and will definitely be booking another class, ESPECIALLY if he’s the teacher

Myself and three others attended the air dry clay pottery class on a Saturday morning. The person leading the class did a great job of guiding us and offering 1:1 help. I enjoyed having the freedom to make anything I wanted or the option of making a pot with guided steps. Overall I would recommend this whether going with people or alone.
