6 x 2 hours

Class size 1 to 4 (public classes), 4 to 6
  £295 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

This 6-week course is suitable for beginners with no previous experience and mixed-level participants who want to improve their skills on the pottery wheel. Elements of hand-building may be integrated into your course, so participants get a rounded view of what is possible with clay. Whilst your course is loosely structured, your tutor will guide and work with you, depending on your experience and challenge you to improve your pottery skills. Additionally, you will be introduced to surface decoration and finally the glazing of your pieces.
What you will have the opportunity to learn or improve on:
  • Centring
  • Pulling up walls
  • Trimming
  • Introduction to hand-building techniques
  • Attaching handles
  • Introduction to surface decoration
What's included:
  • We will provide all materials throughout the course. All of our students use our studio white or buff stoneware clay and have access to a full range of tools and glazes.
  • The glazing and firing of up to 6 pieces (extra pots are charged at £5 per small pot and £10 for bigger pots).
  • Up to 3 hours Independent studio time (untaught), to practise your new skills on a day and time that suits you. These sessions can be booked after your course with your own unique code.
Good to know!
  • Please bring your own apron and tea towel or small cloth to each lesson.
  • Short nails are much easier to work with as long nails can make it challenging to handle clay.
  • Jewellery and watches off!
  • Don’t come in your Sunday best, working with clay can be very messy!
  • As it is the case in most studios, whilst the rest of your piece will be glazed by us after the first firing, the base of your piece will remain bisque. This means it won’t be covered by glaze.
  • It takes up to 6 weeks for your glazed ceramics to be ready to collect. They need to be fired twice and glazed before you can take them home!

All the tools and materials required to learn how to throw your own pots. Expert guidance by our experienced teachers.
Knowledge required

What to bring
Your own apron, a hand towel, short nails, and hair tied back.

Our modern pottery studio in the heart of London’s Design District in Greenwich welcomes both newcomers and experienced potters, ensuring there is a blend of fresh perspectives and seasoned wisdom. Whether you want to try out the pottery wheel, make your own designs using hand building techniques or attend a pottery painting session, there is something for everyone.
Pottery Studio LDN is the second studio by founder, Maritza Masiello.
Following the opening of her first studio in nearby Lee, SE London, she was overwhelmed by the growing pottery community. As demand grew, it was clear there was a need for a second studio. Maritza wanted to find a space which could hold more pottery courses and workshops for beginners and memberships for more experienced potters, as well as a dedicated space for group pottery painting events.
The Design District offers the perfect destination for this new direction, a home for inspiring creatives, and Pottery Studio LDN is proud to be part of the community!
