This is a fun activity in Deptford, London

Are you searching for relaxed and calming activities in London, away from a hectic city lifestyle? Unwind and release your creativity by joining a pottery making workshop in Deptford!

Beginners are welcome to this London pottery class. You'll receive plenty of support from your teacher as you transform clay into handmade pottery pieces. Your local teacher will guide you through hand-building techniques using coils and slabs. You'll also get to try wheel throwing!

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.
- Please come 10 minutes prior to the start of the class, as this will allow you to sign in and not miss any demo.
- It is your responsibility to arrive on time for the class. Upon arriving to your class 30 minutes or later, we have the right to reject you joining the class without any refund or rescheduling.

- A materials fee of £5 per piece of pottery is not included in the class price and is payable on the day of your workshop with cash or bank transfer.
-Pieces are ready around 4-5 weeks after the class. We will send you an email when they are ready to be collected. Please check you email and spam folder. We will keep your pots in the studio for a month. If not collected in time they may be disposed of.
- No cancellations or reschedules allowed.
- During summer, there is no air conditioning in the studio, so please bring water and dress for the heat!
- 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.

Went as a new experience with my partner for our anniversary weekend celebrations. Ariana was a great and attentive teacher and it was easy to ask for help (or saving when I messed up the shaping of my clay ). I liked how interactive the class was and how many lumps of clay we were given to practice with and try out. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to try something new. Thanks again, Ari!

Annie our teacher was amazing. Very informative and extremely helpful. She made sure we all left with 3 pieces of work. She guided us through the potters wheel step by step. This was my first go at using it. I made a large coffee cup, a small bowl and a small face of my cat. I will definitely be back. This was my Christmas gift. Very easy to use the gift card and book the date I preferred. I cant wait to pick my pieces up!!. You can have them glazed in blue, cream or you can book again to paint and design them how you wish.

All a bit rushed. Not as enjoyable as we thought it would be. End products when the tutor glazed them and finally fired them 5 weeks later, was pretty poor due to rushed tuition. Nothing to drink for 3 hours. Am diabetic so had to take time out of the class to eat. Would have been better to just focus on one element or do an all day taster.

The class amazing! The teachers were attentive and skilful and I’ve gotten much further in any class I’ve done before. We worked on the wheel and I made 3 objects. And a couple hand building items too. I’m even considering doing the longer course; it was that good! I thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend.
