Inspire your inner artist and discover the joy of crafting clay creations on the pottery wheel at this four-week course. If you've been looking for fun things to do in London, this course ticks all the boxes.

This beginner throwing course will enable you to understand the properties and possibilities of thrown ceramics. You will pick up plenty of tips and tricks as you craft a few different pieces and take your first steps into the world of clay.

Pottery course schedule:

  • ​Week one: You will be guided through the principles of throwing on the wheel.
  • ​Week two: You will continue some hands-on throwing and be shown how to turn your pieces.
  • Week three: Refining your work with turning, adding handles and surface decoration.
  • Week four: Introduction to glazes. You will be able to try out a variety of decorating/glaze techniques on your now bisque-fired objects using glaze and underglaze.

Each pottery class runs four two and a half hours, giving you plenty of time to learn from the talented teacher hosting the class and enjoy some hands-on experience. The pieces you make will be fired and can be collected within 3 - 4 weeks. Work that is fired brings an additional cost of £5 per kg.
