No matter your experience level, whether you're a novice or an experienced clay artist, this workshop provides an excellent opportunity to relax in a beautiful London pottery studio and explore your creative side.

After the session, your pottery will be taken to be fired and glazed and will be available for collection after three weeks. You can then showcase your beautiful pieces at home or gift them to your loved ones!

Please note:
- This workshop is only for age 11 or above.
- Your finished pieces will be fired and glazed, ready to collect 4 weeks after the class.

- During winter, it would be a bit cold in the studio. Whilst we try our best to keep the studio warm, please prepare an extra coat or clothes to keep yourself warm during class.

*** Please note that due to the nature of clay, results may differ from expectation, including but not limited to:
- Glaze may vary from examples and are for reference only
- Texture created may not shown in the final result
- Pots will appear smaller from what you created from class, since clay have a 15% shrinkage
- Pots may not be completely cleaned and may have small lumps of clay
- Pots may be cracked or exploded

 We try our best to mitigate this problem but these are inevitable. Unfortunately, the class is non-refundable and we are only able to reimburse you if your work exploded.

Excellent introduction to pottery. I took my teenage daughter and we both had a brilliant time. Nam and Susi are lovely and infinitely patient. The class is also great value for 3 hours of tuition and lots of hands-on practice. I would definitely recommend this activity and will be back for the drop in sessions. Thank you again!

Myself and my husband attended a pottery taster class with Ariana. We made several items using both the wheel and hand crafted. No restrictions on how many items. Teaching with great and broken down easy to follow steps and there was lots of hands on time which was supported with guidance when needed. A great fun class and great facility. Ari was a great teacher with a really nice, calm way that made you feel really supported and showed her passion for what she does. Highly recommend!

Ariana was very informative & patient, explaining each step very clearly. We found the throwing very therapeutic but not enough time to get stuck in with the freestyle slabbing, coiling etc The only downside was the pots were not marked at time of making so there was confusion identifying the pots you made at the end of the session
