This is a fun activity in Forest Gate, London

Looking for craft classes in London that will help you pick up a new skill? Get your hands messy with homemade clay at this beginner-friendly pottery workshop!

Guided by a professional pottery artist, Suzan, this class will begin with an introduction to the materials, processes, and basic techniques of wheel throwing. Your teacher will provide a quick demonstration so you can see exactly how the craft is performed before handing things over to you to begin molding and shaping your clay.

With a maximum class size of two students, Suzan will be on hand to provide plenty of one-to-one support and answer any questions you may have. Looking for things to do in London with kids? Bring your little ones along and play with clay together! Swap screens with a creative and interactive hobby all while enjoying some quality family time.

By the end of the class, you will have created a beautiful selection of pots and get to choose your favourite piece to be glazed by Suzan, ready to collect at a later date and display at home!

Please note:
Your final pieces will be ready around four weeks after your class and will be posted to you when ready.

We did the class for my wife’s birthday and absolutely loved it. Suzan was brilliant and the small class size ensured we got the attention we needed. There is also a cafe down stairs that is great.

A wonderful time learning pottery skills from Suzanne. Really enjoyed the process, and looking forward to getting the finished product in the post. Suzanne adding more decoration makes this an even better deal, and she was a friendly, attentive and patient teacher.

Fantastic class - Suzan is a skilled potter and teacher, and is so patient and attentive to everyone. She takes you from complete beginner to a surprising level of confidence in just 2 hours, with the opportunity to try several pots and build your skills. I would highly recommend this class.

Very good value for a class with a maximum of 2 students so the time isn't divided up too much between each student. No extra charge for having 1 items finished and glazed too which is nice.

We loved our pottery session and found Susan to be a wonderful teacher. Can’t wait to receive our handmade bowls once glazed and fired!

We went for 2hrs in a pair and came away planning to go on a 6week course. Suzan was a relaxed and happy teacher that let us learn with a standing back approach. She demonstrated the technique and skills first whilst we watched her. You then make four pots. The first with a bit of her help. The rest she stood back allowing us to make three pots from start to finish by ourselves so we could really get the feel for it. Suzan was a great teacher and it was a peaceful and relaxing studio. I highly recommend this day course.
