BYOB Pottery Painting Class in London

Sip and paint pottery in our beginner-friendly Waterloo, London studio.



2 hours Location Waterloo Class size 1 to 16 (public classes), 2 to 8   £6
Join this pottery painting workshop near Waterloo, London, and spend an afternoon switching off and getting wonderfully hands-on with colour, ceramics, and creativity.
These small, friendly sessions are made for beginners and experienced painters alike – whether you're after a fun date night, a birthday celebration, a catch-up with friends, or simply a calming slice of your week. With a maximum of six people per session, it's an intimate, low-pressure experience where fun genuinely comes first.
Once you're settled in, you'll choose your ceramic piece from a range of options in the studio – mugs, espresso cups, bowls, plates, candle holders, decorative pieces, and more.
Ceramic pieces are purchased separately on the day, with prices ranging from £24 to £45, depending on the item you choose.
Then it's over to you: pick your colours, try out different techniques, and paint at your own pace. Everything you need is provided, including all paints, tools, glazing, and kiln firing. You'll leave with something entirely one-of-a-kind – a handmade keepsake that you painted yourself.
Create, relax, and collect in 2 weeks. Your finished pieces are professionally glazed and kiln-fired after the session, ready to collect from the studio around 10days later.

doppiocotto
doppiocotto

5.0 (74)

Doppiocotto was founded in 2013 by Bora Cetin, a ceramic artist deeply passionate about his craft, dedicating long hours to shaping each piece by hand.
Focusing on form and material, Doppiocotto produces modern, original, and finely crafted pieces. The brand explores the harmony of contrasts by adding movement to simple forms and stillness to dynamic shapes, incorporating a playful touch to bring joy to people’s everyday lives.
The story behind the brand name comes from the Italian word 'Doppiocotto' which means 'double-cooked', linked with the production process.
The clay goes through two firing processes. After the shaping phase comes the drying and baking phase. This is called biscuit. Then the glaze is applied on it and it is fired again. This is how the finished product is reached.
Bora Cetin
Ceramic artist based in Waterloo, London.
He began his artistic journey in 2005 with a Bachelor's degree in Ceramics and Glass in Izmir, Turkiye.
In 2013, he moved to Istanbul and founded Doppiocotto.
The city's dynamic blend of ancient and modern elements added new depth to his art. In Istanbul, he became known for his animal-headed figures and human-shaped sculptures.
In 2018, he moved to London, continuing his artistic evolution in a new cultural environment.
Studio
After moving to London in 2018, Bora continues his work in his studio at Make Space Studios in Waterloo. He constantly evolves his designs, drawing inspiration from the rich cultural diversity of London. Through the doppiocotto brand, he has had the opportunity to collaborate with globally renowned names such as Philippe Starck, Kate Moss, Netflix, Cacharel, Vogue, and Elle.
