This is a fun activity in Camden Town, London

Get ready to unleash your creativity in this 2-hour session where you'll dive into the exciting world of crafting bowls and cylinders. At this adults-only class, you'll enjoy 1 hour at the potter’s wheel and 1 hour hand-building. Our super-friendly and experienced tutor will be there to hold your hand through every spin!

Expect to whip up to 2 masterpieces during this class— it's a real blast for beginners! This is an open group session, with a maximum of 8 fellow pottery enthusiasts learning alongside you. Bring a buddy along or come solo to mingle with new friends who share your love for clay and creativity.

What's included:
- Instruction by a professional potter
- 2 hours of guided learning and making
- By the end of the taster class, you will have 2 masterpieces made by you (one thrown on the wheel and another one hand-built)

If you want to just enjoy the experience of the making process, this will be £45 per person, however, if you'd like to keep your pieces, you can pay to fire your pots in our kiln for £5 per person. After firing, you can choose to paint and glaze them at our studio (£10 pp/ph, or glaze them in a singular colour for £5 per person)
You can come and pick up your item(s) after 21 days of your event day, and we keep it for another 30 days.

Very disappointed in the customer service with the venue. I cut my finger open on a new kitchen knife the day of my taster session so had to get in touch last minute to rearrange. We must have called 2 numbers around 5 times each, send Instagram messages, emails and used their contact form. Nobody got back in touch and it had been almost a week now. This was a birthday gift and now my friends have lost their money, very disappointing.

I had a pottery class on 18/11 and it was genuinely such a great experience. The session itself was really fun, but what made it stand out was the teacher, Emily. She was super attentive, really informative, and you could tell she knew exactly how to guide everyone at their own pace. She also has such a calming aura – it made the whole class feel relaxed and enjoyable from start to finish.

really enjoyed the pottery class! The instructor was friendly and patient, explaining each step clearly and offering great guidance throughout. The studio was well-equipped and welcoming, and I loved being able to create my own piece to take home. It was a relaxing, creative experience — perfect for beginners or anyone wanting to try something new. I’d definitely recommend this class to others!

It was great fun, easy to follow along and you get to try and make multiple pots on the wheel plus an object by hand so you get a chance to try both styles. The teacher was lovely, super helpful, friendly and made the class really fun! I'd definitely recommend

This was such an enjoyable experience! Teacher gave group teachings and individual feedback which helped us create unique pieces. Would recommend as a solo activity or in a group.

Really fun evening and lovely teacher. As much as we enjoyed moulding items by hand, 2 hours on the wheel would’ve been better

What a smashing evening. Our teacher was attentive, explained techniques really well. And nice that we did both pottery throwing and working at the wheel and in a seperate session on the night learnt about hand formed pottery techniques. End of night - two items made!
