Step into the enchanting world of pottery with our wheel throwing class in London. This workshop is designed to teach you the fundamental techniques of clay work, including wedging, centering, pulling, and turning, so you can create your own beautiful pottery pieces. Whether you're a complete beginner or have some experience, this class will cater to your needs and aspirations.

We understand that starting something new can be a bit intimidating, but fear not! Our friendly and experienced tutor will provide step-by-step guidance throughout the class, ensuring that you feel confident and supported every step of the way. You will learn how to manipulate the clay, shape it into various forms, and bring your creative visions to life.

The class will be held in a relaxed and nurturing environment, allowing you to work at your own pace. No need to rush, take your time and enjoy the process. The feeling of clay beneath your fingers, spinning on the wheel, is truly therapeutic and meditative. Lose yourself in the rhythm and see how the clay responds to your touch.

This hands-on experience will provide you with the opportunity to make as many pots as your heart desires. You are free to explore different shapes, sizes, and designs, allowing your creativity to flourish on the pottery wheel. And here's the best part - after the class, you get to choose your three best pieces to be fired and glazed by our talented tutor. Within three weeks, these pieces will be transformed into beautiful, functional ceramics that you can proudly display or gift to your loved ones.
