If you’ve ever dreamed of working with clay and want to build a strong foundation, this engaging pottery workshop London at the Thames-side studio is the perfect place to start.
This two-hour session offers a hands-on introduction to pottery. You’ll learn about clay preparation, discover the tools of the trade, and practice the basics of throwing a simple cylinder on the potter’s wheel. It’s a fun, relaxed way to explore a new creative outlet while picking up essential pottery skills.
Led by expert ceramicist Mihaly, this taster class lets you create up to four different forms—including a small cup, bowl, vase, and saucer. It’s an ideal introduction to ceramics and a great first step if you're thinking of joining a longer pottery course London later on.
Mihaly is known for crafting bespoke tableware for fine dining restaurants and using unique glazes. You’ll get to choose one of his signature glazes, and he will handle the glazing and high-temperature firing of your pieces. All finished works are dishwasher, microwave, and food-safe.
After two weeks, your ceramic creations will be ready for collection, and Mihaly can store them for up to one month if needed.
Priced at £60, this all-inclusive experience is one of the most accessible pottery classes London has to offer. All materials are provided, and you’ll receive expert guidance throughout the session.

Great class with Mihai on Saturday, such a cute idea for a couples day out. Very intimate class max 4 people, which lasts around 2 hours. Mihai is lovely, funny and very talented, his work is amazing! He was very hands on with correcting/helping you when needed. I really enjoyed the class and found it very therapeutic and can’t wait to receive our pottery back once glazed as I was really impressed with the end results considering we had never done pottery before. Each person gets to make 4 items each and gets to pick what finish glaze they would like. I would definitely go again, highly recommend if you want to try something new.

Mihaly’s class was a great, meditative Saturday morning! We’re absolute pottery noobs, but his great advice throughout had us making some amazing works - especially appreciated the advice on how to specifically position/arrange our hands. A pleasure to be taught by someone with such experience, hoping to be back soon to learn more!

Both my daughters arrived with little to no experience and left with 4 beautiful items that they are very proud of. Mihlay is a fantastic teacher, and I would highly recommend this class.

This was such a great experience. Our teacher was experience, professional and friendly. He was really patient with us and gave us the opportunity to learn and develop skills at our own pace. Really enjoyed using the wheel. Would recommend to anyone looking to spend time exploring throwing as beginners!

The class was great, with a small number of students and plenty of staff to help. They were really patient and there was lots of time to make four different items. I loved it, and I’m thinking of going back! I would recommend it to anyone.
