We had a pleasant and calming experience. A great place to go if you want a cute, quiet date idea. Lots of colours to choose from 10/10

It was very good and started promptly as well. It's an intimate setting with only 4 people taking part - so if you're looking for a larger group activity, look somewhere else. It was very enjoyable, and the teachers were constantly there for tips & help.

You get to keep two of the bowls you make. You have 4 goes to make it work. They will fire and paint for you to pick up later.

Christie • Attended Nov 2025

We made two hand-painted ceramic mugs! The host was super welcoming and patient, and the studio felt cozy and inspiring. All materials were well prepared, and we also loved the music they played:D!

Darcy Luo • Attended Dec 2025

We had really good experience with Rae. She gave detailed instructions and coached us every step away. Good 2.5 hours spent. Highly recommended

Tayla Gencarelli • Attended Nov 2025

The lesson was private which made it easier to learn how to make the mugs. The instructions were super clear and demonstration helped a lot. You get a lot of clay and a long time to make the mug which is really helpful. Really recommend!!

Nicholas Ward • Attended Oct 2025

A very good teacher and a lovely studio, was easy to find and they were very accommodating and patient for us beginners. We had a great time and are really looking forward to seeing the finished mugs. Would highly recommend

Amy Freeston • Attended Oct 2025

Lovely teacher who explained two ways to build a mug thoroughly and showed us how to do both and add attachments. Really cute studio that captures the 'kawaii' theme really well. Will definitely be returning in the future!

Sergei Daiman • Attended Sep 2025

Great detailed demonstration, and all the tools and time available for you to experiment. Cats are friendly too!

Poppy Raki • Attended Sep 2025

It was my girlfriend’s birthday and we had a private 1-1 lesson. She wanted to make a matcha bowl and a cup to go with it. Our teacher was amazing!! So detailed and helpful with every step of the way. The studio was so cutee, it felt like we transported to a studio ghibli film ️ I think because it was the weekend, there were cats there but they were so so adorable and kept me entertained while my girlfriend was making her pottery hahaha.

We loved everything about it, we’ll definitely come back again :) it was the best part of our day~

Mary Ma • Attended Jul 2025

I would strongly recommend anyone that is looking for a fun and relaxed outings or simply want to unleash your inner creativity to come here (ideally with friends to double triple the fun!).

The workshop is very organised with more than enough colors to choose from than any other ceramic workshops I have been to (pretty colors too!) The instructor went above and beyond to always be there, answering / helping us with all the questions patiently to make sure we have every thing and coaching we need.

Can’t wait to come back again!!

Anjana Krishnan • Attended Jul 2025

Loved every bit of it!

Such a cozy and cute little studio – felt like a hidden gem in London. The class was small and personal, perfect for couples or a small group. The instructor was lovely and made it all super fun and easy to follow.

Bonus: they have the sweetest, friendliest cat ever – total highlight!

Highly recommend for a fun, chill experience.

Christy Byrne • Attended Jun 2025

Cindy Yin • Attended Jun 2025

I highly recommend this class - Ray was super friendly and helpful, and we had a really relaxing afternoon building our mugs. There was a lot of freedom in what we can make, and we can't wait to pick them up!

Ti Lim Ah Ken • Attended Jun 2025

Really fun class! The teacher Ray was super friendly and helpful, providing a good demo of technique in the beginning and supporting us throughout the session plus allowing us extra time to wrap up.

Natalie Unwin • Attended Jun 2025

Ray was really lovely and a good teacher, really enjoyed making the mug

Nikolaus Drexler • Attended May 2025

Such a lovely experience!

The class was brilliant from start to finish. The instructor was warm, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel at ease. The studio itself is such a cute, intimate space – it felt more like hanging out with friends than taking a class. I really enjoyed the process of handbuilding and loved what I made. Would absolutely recommend this as a creative, feel-good way to spend a few hours.

Craig Brown • Attended May 2025

We had such a wonderful afternoon of pottery fun, with such a lovely, kind and patient teacher! A great way to spend the afternoon with friends and family - really relaxing and mindful! The cats were a total bonus!!!

Lily Cutler • Attended Apr 2025

My partner and I participated in this workshop as a fun Saturday afternoon activity and it was SUCH a blast. The instruction was thorough and hands-on and super encouraging! I plan on returning with friends and family at some other point in the future.

Swee Lynn Chan • Attended Mar 2025

Good class and instructor. We made cups and plates from remaining clay. Instructor was very helpful to check in with us and help with the tricky parts. Loved the cats.

Lillian • Attended Mar 2025

Ray was an amazing teacher and the vibe of the studio was so relaxing and fun. I came with references of what I wanted to create from Pinterest and Ray was super encouraging in helping me achieve what I wanted. Really enjoyed trying pottery here and can't wait to return for the painting!!

Greta de Grandis • Attended Feb 2025

The class was a lot of fun and the teacher was extremely helpful! The place makes you feel cozy, the beautiful cats were definitely a plus. I had no prior experience and the teacher guided me whenever I had doubts or questions. She was really kind and it was a pleasure to do something new in an environment that makes you feel appreciated and capable. I would totally recommend the experience!

A Truly great activity to have with friends and family. We just can’t wait to have our completed mugs.

Such a memorable time here at Pon Studio.

The hosts are generous, knowledgeable, kind and caring. Before the class, they send out a very clear pdf with a map and entry instructions (worth reading before visiting!)

The studio space is warm, well organised and home to two lovely cats who greeted us while we played with clay. The hosts are present in the studio, working on other things, we could ask questions when unsure and felt very at ease and free to create. They played music at a gentle level and the lighting was soft which helped reinforce the comfort.

The class began with introductions followed by a simple, clear and instructive demonstration on 2 hand building techniques- pinching and slab building.

We were then given our 1kg balls of stoneware clay and invited to look around the studio at the pieces from other sessions for inspiration. As we began, we had plenty of time to think and rethink our projects. There was no enforcement of mug making which is one of the reasons I chose this class.

We were lucky enough to be the only group present on the day and enjoyed the spaciousness the hosts and studio offered.

The hosts checked in on us during the session and offered extra time for us to complete the final smoothing/additions to our pieces.

When finished, we were given the glaze tiles and the hosts explained how this step works and showed examples from around the studio to help us decide on colours. Our work was photographed and the glazing requests were added to them. This is a great system and meant we were all on the same page.

I spent a lot of time researching studios and classes before choosing this one. I am so grateful for the hosts and recommend this class for a beautiful afternoon with loved ones.

Mark Nunn • Attended Oct 2024

Myself and four friends recently had an awesome day at Pon Studio for their mug making class, and will be recommending the class to friends and family.

The class began with a concise, easy to follow lesson on how to build a mug and from then on, we were encourage to be creative, try new ideas and see where they took us.

Despite the class being advertised as mug making, we had booked the class with the intention to try and create a few things that we'd seen around the web and our creativity was absolutely encouraged by our teacher, who gave us tips and instruction on how to achieve the pieces that we'd seen.

The class is held in a cool studio in East London and the class is typically 3 hours, although our teachers suggested there was no rush to leave, and accomodated us almost an hour extra to finish off our designs.

The value for money is amazing considering Pon studio will fire your creations, paint and glaze them (and post to you if needed!) - we're very excited to see how everything turns out in the end.

Like mentioned before, we highly recommend the class to anyone thinking about trying pottery, working with clay or has a creative urge to make something.

Emmanuella Taiwo • Attended Oct 2024

The teachers were so friendly, the class was so relaxing and comfortable and worth the money.

It was honestly a steal I was able to make 2 mugs with varying colour designs.

Gaffney M Flancer • Attended Oct 2024

A ton of fun. The instructors were great and really help facilitate creativity. There is also a very cute cat.

Thanh Hoang • Attended Sep 2024

Such a great experience overall. I never handle any clay before but I managed to make a mug and 1 espresso cup and was very happy with the result. I booked this class for me and my wife’s anniversary and she totally loved it. The instructor was super friendly and helpful. There were 3 cats and they were friendly and cute. Definitely would recommend if anyone would like to try out pottery and have some quality time with their loved ones.

Jiayi • Attended Sep 2024

The studio is nice and beautiful and there will be cats coming and say hello to you! Teacher is also great, nice and patient. More than enough materials are provided so fully use your imagination. Definitely worth a try.

Lillian Okotako • Attended Jun 2024

The class was amazing! I was lucky enough to have an 1-1 session.

I did have a hard time locating the space, which cause me to run slightly late, but the teacher was extremely understanding.

The teacher was extremely attentive, and assisted me at when I needed help. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the conversation.

I also had the pleasure of meeting their cats.

I would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to go by themselves or for a date!

I had such a good time on this course! I went with a friend and we both had an amazing afternoon creating our mugs.

The teachers were incredible! They helped us think about designs and were on hand if we had any problems. It was the best way to spend an afternoon. I am so happy with my mug and I cannot wait to do this course again! I cannot recommend enough!
