This is a fun activity in Bankside, London

Just a 2-minute walk from London Bridge station, discover the calming joy of pottery at Maison S.Sommet.

Perfect for complete beginners, this relaxed 2-hour BYOB wheel throwing class is a chance to unwind, get messy and create your own functional ceramics in our warm and welcoming studio. Guided step-by-step by our expert teachers, you’ll learn the foundations of wheel throwing before creating your own cup, bowl or ceramic vessel. Even complete beginners are often surprised by what they create in just one session.

We provide everything you need including unlimited clay, tools and aprons — just dress comfortably and trim your nails beforehand for the best experience.

At the end of the session, select your favourite pieces to be professionally glazed and kiln-fired in your choice of our signature Cobalt Blue or Clear stoneware glaze for £10 per piece. Finished ceramics are food-safe, microwave-safe and dishwasher-safe, and are usually ready for collection within 4–5 weeks.

Perfect for date nights, birthdays, friends or solo creatives looking to try something new in London.

Our studio is fully equipped with air conditioning — ideal for escaping the heatwave.

Clay, music, good company and your new favourite mug.

“This was a a treat for our hard working team who normally spend their time supporting people experiencing homelessness. We all really enjoyed getting messy and creative, and were quite surprised how well we did. The instruction was great, and we had a lot of fun.”

“This was a present for my daughters birthday and we loved the class. The teacher was really knowledgeable but kind and approachable. Despite it being our first class we were given the skills to make our very own pots and bowls, albeit a bit quirky and wobbly! Such a fun session, I’d recommend it.”

“This was a really fun activity as a newbie to pottery. Margot was a great teacher and an expert at correcting all our newbie mistakes. I ended up with 3 little pots and can't wait to see them glazed.”

“Wonderful! Everyone enjoyed the pottery class so much! We booked the session as part of my sister's hen do plans and it was a huge hit, and a lovely bonus that we'll all go home with a piece we made as a memory of the day. Milo was really knowledgeable and helpful and made sure that everybody made something they were happy with. The BYOB element is really great as well. The location is really amazing, right near London Bridge so easy to get to form anywhere in London and super central! Brilliant communication through Class Bento beforehand, and all of my questions were answered promptly and they were able to fit us in without too much notice. Thank you so much for everything!”

“The ladies were very friendly and helpful. I managed to make two really cool pieces and enjoyed learning to do the steps myself. Was very satisfying to have learnt to do something that’s a little tricky, with the help of the professionals coming in and helping to make sure it stays fun and not frustrating. I can’t wait to see what my pieces look like once they’ve been fired !”
