This is a fun activity in Brixton, London

Join us for a laid-back Friday night experience at Earthworks, where you can bring your own beverage (BYOB) and immerse yourself in the art of throwing on the wheel! We recommend grabbing your drinks from London Beer Lab on the same row of arches as us; they have a fantastic selection of craft beers, ales and lagers in their well-stocked fridges! Non-staining beverages, no red wine please. Please Arrive 10 minutes before the class starts.

Discover the joy of pottery firsthand in our 2-hour BYOB throwing taster session, designed for beginners and intermediates alike. Led by our experienced instructors, this session offers a hands-on introduction to wheel-throwing techniques in a relaxed setting.

Throughout the session, you'll learn the fundamental techniques of wheel-throwing, from centring clay to shaping your very own masterpiece. No previous experience is necessary – our instructors will be there to guide you every step of the way, ensuring you feel at ease as you work with the clay.

At the end of the session, you'll get to take home your favourite thrown vessel, which will be fired and glazed for you to collect on your next visit to Earthworks.

Whether you're looking to explore a new hobby or simply want to try something different, our beginner's throwing taster session promises an enjoyable and memorable experience for all. Reserve your spot now and join us for an evening of creativity and fun!

Notes:
- Please be advised to allow for a minimum of three weeks before your thrown vessel is ready for collection, although we aim to get vessels glazed as soon as possible. You will be emailed once your vessel is ready for collection.

Really fun! The studio is lovely, just behind the Main Street in Brixton, so easy to reach. The teachers are great and take you through throwing at the wheel step by step. Bring a drink with you and enjoy - and remember there’s no such thing as perfect (and there will be plenty of not perfect by the end!)

Glena is such a wonderful teacher. She is very calm and soothing! Really guides you through each step with a lot of patience and reassurance! I definitely want to book more classes at Earthworks with her.

Absolutely loved this taster class! The teacher Glena was a joy and incredibly helpful, as were the assistants, with clear demonstrations for two different pieces. You could throw an unlimited number of times in the 2 hours which was amazing! The team were also incredibly accommodating of my broken leg, adapting the setup as needed and helping me carry things given I was on crutches. I would recommend this class to everyone keen to give throwing a go!

Such a great way to spend a Friday night. Very welcoming, really informative but in a relaxed way. Lots of support and instruction available with people who are obviously passionate about what they do (as well as being very skilled). Very much a hidden gem of things to do in Brixton
