Recent reviews of BYOB Pottery Painting Class
3/5 from Abigail McKellow, attended Sep 2026: BYOB option is great and the location is good. The options to paint are quite limited and most of the stuff available already had drawings on them / lightly painted with no option of fresh items on some. Felt like the staff rush you towards the end
4/5 from Richa Moradiya, attended May 2026: Someone explained the process Wish we had more time we were booked for 3:30-5 however it was not enough time I would suggest to book for a earlier slot
5/5 from Augusta Verdades, attended Mar 2026: Very nice place , we and enjoy Stuff is nice . Thank you
1/5 from Zoe Zee, attended Feb 2026: When we arrived they said we had no booking and that we couldn’t part take. Even when I showed them the slot and the payment invoice.
1/5 from Pauline Carter, attended Feb 2026: Don’t go. Waste of money. If I could give no stars, I would. I was deeply disappointed with this studio, their customer service and the quality of paints and glazing process used. Generally the place is cold and uninviting. From the outside, it looked closed as they just have the metal shutter in place of a proper entrance. Inside is not much better and lacks a warm welcome. I began to have doubts... Customer service: From the start, the customer service was appalling. The place is a ghost town and there were no staff at the entrance to warmly welcome you. Once they gave the instructions, which were rushed through, the person disappeared and then you are left to your own devices to work out what you want to do and how to use the paints. If you needed any help, you would have to find a person first! We were rushed at the end as the experience is 1.5 hours long and you are not allowed to go over the time limit or paint more pieces (lucky escape!), even though there were no other customers. Quality: The paints all seem watered down. Their colour wheel shows three levels to achieve a depth of colour, which seems unattainable when the paints seem watered down and exceptionally rough when used. Glazing process: Upon returning to collect the pieces, they seemed to be unevenly glazed, the surfaces of the pottery were rough in some places but smooth in others, and looked like the pieces were not fully glazed consistently. I could even scrape the paint off one of the mug handles which only had two coats of paint (so in theory, should have been perfectly glazed, according to the studio) but still appeared unglazed. When I emailed to complain, I was informed that it was my own fault and that we were instructed on the day to only paint two coats and instructions were on the table. First, no such instruction was given or available on the table and second, the colour wheel showed three levels of colour so that's a contradiction! They accept absolutely no liability for anything and claims it is completely the fault of the painter. And finally, this place is not suitable for anyone with mobility needs. The entrance is essentially a closed metal shutter which means you have to step over the base of the narrow door to get in and the pottery painting is located upstairs. I do not recommend this studio and I would strongly advise avoiding this place. If you want more honest reviews, check them out on Tripadvisor. I wish I had done that before booking. What a waste of a gift token.
1/5 from Channah Julien, attended Jan 2026: We arrived (admittedly late) and they checked we had a booking, and told us to go upstairs. I went up thinking staff would be upstairs, there was nobody. I put 2+2 together by observing what others were doing, and read the details on the page, so I had an idea of how it worked. We all painted multiple pieces which was difficult as the paint was watered down. Come time to wrap up, we’re told only certain things were included in the price. The website says your first piece is included in the price and anything else is £5 extra. The staff proceeded to argue with us. She insisted she spoke to us and explained but this was our first time speaking with her. We went back and forth for ages until another staff came and told her to charge us only for our extra pieces. Bad experience all around for several reasons. Save your money.
5/5 from Maddie Montrose, attended Nov 2025: Very fun, relaxing experience!
4/5 from Margaux Jacquot, attended Feb 2025: Went with a friend and we had a fun time getting creative. The relaxed atmosphere was great for a casual catch-up. However, it’s worth noting that this isn’t really a “class” as advertised. There was no instructor or guidance, just someone to welcome us and show us to the room. If you’re expecting to learn techniques or get any teaching, you might be disappointed. I think it would be clearer to call it “Self Pottery Painting” to avoid any misunderstanding. Still, it’s a fun, laid-back activity if you’re happy to paint freely without instruction.
3/5 from Emma Wurfel, attended Dec 2024: We were given a super basic crash course, and then there was no one around to help us if we had any questions or needed any support. I have been to other pottery painting before and there were people around and who wanted to help, so just thought it was a bit bizarre. We still had fun, but wouldn’t recommend and won’t be going back.
3/5 from Penny Atkinson, attended Dec 2024: It was fun, relaxing etc, but not great value for money, no real "teaching" at all - when they say self-guided they mean it!! and the free item available was quite pathetic really. Did I enjoy myself though? Yes, absolutely! Would I recommend it to a friend? No, I think there are far better but similar classes out there. Lovely studio though
3/5 from Kirstine Duffy-McBride, attended Dec 2024: We did have fun however that was more because of the people I was with not the event itself. The pottery painting was great, but the venue and set-up means I wouldn't recommend this event to others. There were lots of other people in our group which meant it was quite large and when the instructor stood at the other end of the table none of my group could hear any of the instructions. It was also hard to get to the paints and stencils as there were so many people. I've done this type of thing at other venues and found them to be a lot nicer, and a lot cheaper. This is very overpriced. Once the instructor had finished talking she disappeared and no one came back and checked in on us, so not sure what we were paying for there. The venue was really shabby, particularly the toilets. We weren't sure if there was paint on the toilet floor but lots of the group ended up with the soles of their shoes being white. The hand wash sink had old blocks of soap and rags that were soaking wet to dry your hands. Not very hygienic.
5/5 from Shilpa Johncy, attended Nov 2024: Very easy and fun class! Would recommend
4/5 from Sakshi Chahande, attended Nov 2024: Painted clay cups from a selection of pre-made options. There was a large variety of items, paints, and stencils to create what you like. it was a fun way to spend an afternoon.
3/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: Explanation could use improving. rushed through it. Resources were not adequate. Pottery items all had drawings on them from previous people. Everything else was fine.
2/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: Good selection of paint colours and nice enough lady introducing the session. However after the outline she left for the entire session so there was zero guidance. Poor selection of things to paint- no mugs- so had paint on a previously used plate. Not worth the price and wouldnt come back.
1/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: Definitely not worth the price. The teacher disappeared after a really brief introduction and we didn’t see them again for the rest of the session so we couldnt ask questions. There were no mugs and the options of other things to paint was limited. I had fun with my friend anyway but was disappointed given the cost.
1/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: Definitely wouldn't go again, and wouldn't recommend to anyone. Poor experience.
5/5 from Kyle Greenland, attended Oct 2024: Great experience and a very fun activity! Would highly recommend. Lots of items available to paint and the staff were very friendly.
5/5 from Martha Katsiki, attended Oct 2024: Good value for money. The teacher explained a lot at the beginning. The venue was easy to find
4/5 from Lucia Fonte, attended Oct 2024: It is relaxing but it is a little time to paint. Also I would have appreciated more guidance.
4/5 from Macy Daly, attended Oct 2024: Overall me and my partner did enjoy the class, we both think it was a good amount of time for painting one piece each. A few things we would point out that could be improved: - choices of pottery to paint for free were quite basic and small but the pieces you pay extra for were what you would use more (bigger bowls, teapots) they didn’t have prices on the individual items on the shelf’s for the extra payment options so I didn’t know if I’d have to pay £5 or £9. - The teacher wasn’t really a teacher she just explained what not to do so using too much paint and told us what equipment to use, but after that she pretty much disappeared for the whole sessions. It would have been nice for her to stay around so we could ask her any questions or see if we used anything correctly Other than those two points I’d say ot was really good, we had a good group of people in our class that were all friendly. It was really easy to find and there were also many other bars and cafes near by when we were waiting for our session to start.
3/5 from Ilaria Basile, attended Oct 2024: Not high customer service: came in with my friend and the staff at the front desk assumed I didn't have a booking as they were not expecting more than 2 people. Class started 20 minutes late and my friend had to rush to go and catch a train afterwards. Not much introduction and support to what we were meant to do: staff gave a 5 minutes explanation and then left the area where we were completely. Pottery painting was cute overall, but lack of customer service completely.
3/5 from Liva Zarina, attended Oct 2024: Way too expensive for what you get. Also the two week wait seems a bit long!
3/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Oct 2024: It feels a bit like a factory with the number of people being churned in and out of this place. Not quite the relaxed cosy environment we were expecting. The paints seemed far too watery too, so the colours looked terrible on the pottery, no matter how many layers you added. Thankfully upstairs was slightly more peaceful than the hectic environment downstairs, so once we got started it was a nice relaxed experience. Would have been nice to have the host with us throughout to provide advice and guidance, but we were just left to it, which was both good and bad.
3/5 from Harrison Banks, attended Sep 2024: Nothing to write home about Could barely understand him, nothing against him personally but just a language barrier
4/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Aug 2024: It was a beautiful present to my friend. Very good experience, however glazed pottery has to be collected from the studio, it cannot be delivered to your address (which is the only inconvenience).
3/5 from Mercy Mwandama, attended Jul 2024: Staff are friendly. Lots of options when it comes to what you paint. The paint itself is all a lovely pastel colour.
5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Jun 2024: It was a really fun and relaxing activity, great idea for a gift! There were a lot of items to choose from
5/5 from Adrian Gray, attended Jun 2024: Fun for the whole family, really friendly and nice tutor who helped a lot. Would definitely recommend for a family day out or for a birthday party with friends.
3/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Jun 2024: The actual activity was so much fun but do not expect any support from the ‘teacher’ except the first few seconds and then you’re left to your own devices with no one in sight.
5/5 from Anke Janik, attended May 2024: Booked a BYOB pottery painting class for my birthday and had the best time. The area we painted in was spacious and we were provided with all pottery, glaze for painting and aprons. We were given a brief introduction on the process and the got to painting, which we all thoroughly enjoyed! Absolutely will book again!
5/5 from Jo , attended May 2024: I had the most relaxing afternoon and fun with my work friends. Definitely recommend and would love to do it again.
4/5 from Theai San, attended May 2024: The work shop was nice and bright. The staff were friendly and helpful too. A fantastic Friday evening to spend time with friends.
4/5 from Elizabeth Askew, attended May 2024: Team social activity. Venue was easy to find. Pottery options were good. Self led class no real instructor, was nice go at your own pace. Really enjoyed it
4/5 from Silvia Guido, attended May 2024: Very fun experience - it was relaxing and enjoyable. Recommended 100% if you want to do something different
3/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended May 2024: Toilets weren’t clean and one member of staff weren’t very friendly. Pottery painting was great though
5/5 from Yazmeen Akhtar, attended Apr 2024: Lovely staff and a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Great fun! Would definitely recommend coming here.
4/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Apr 2024: Super fun & good value for money. Teachers were helpful and polite. The paints could be improved, quite messy taking them out of the big pots and onto a plate. The venue is also quite hard to find and can be missed. The address takes you somewhere else on maps. Maybe add a sign outside? We would attend another class!
4/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Apr 2024: Great class with good selection of pottery to paint and selection of stencils and colours. The class could have lasted for a bit longer than 1.5 hours as it felt a bit rushed, would go back again though
3/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Apr 2024: Our names weren't on the system despite paying and having a receipt. The teacher was also never really present and near the table so it was difficult to find him to ask him to clarify anything if we had any questions. The paint was very watery and instructions weren't too clear.
5/5 from Jasmine Stewart, attended Mar 2024: We were 30 mins late. No fuss it was great. Very relaxing. If you expect a class with a lot of talking and teaching it’s not the one for you. If you just wanna get on with it then perfect for you!
5/5 from Nadia Schumann, attended Mar 2024: Great experience for a girls night out! The Service was very friendly and helpful! Thank you!
3/5 from Jessica, attended Mar 2024: Similar to other reviews, this was ok. Definitely not a "class" as advertised, we were given some basic instructions and then we were left on our own. I even asked the instructor if she could help my friend and she said no! Not worth the price
3/5 from Emma, attended Mar 2024: Class was very disorganised, instructions weren’t really given and the equipment was all quite dirty. Still and enjoyable thing to do but was just lacking in execution.
5/5 from Temi Olugbenga, attended Feb 2024: It was a really fun time and I think a super relaxed idea for a date.
4/5 from Lois Lindley, attended Feb 2024: A fun experience, I enjoyed this afternoon, as did my sister and niece! Looking forward to seeing the final pieces.
4/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Feb 2024: The session was fun! It wasnt a class as there was no real guidence, but just a go crazy session which we enjoyed. It was a shame there weren't a great mix of paint colours and the session was advertised at the wrong time as when we all turned up it was half an hour later. But overall we enjoyed the class and think it's worth the money.
4/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Feb 2024: This was a very enjoyable creative experience. The teacher did not provide much instruction but was available if you had any questions.
3/5 from Stephanie, attended Feb 2024: TikTok really hyped up this place Not bad not good - the teacher left us in the room then came back when it was time to leave
3/5 from Pablo, attended Feb 2024: The class was not what it was sold as. Firstly, there was no guidance from the teacher at all. We were expected to just crack on. Although we did overall enjoy the experience, the price doesn’t match the expectation. The woman who was in the class said we had to leave early, then said we arrived half an hour late but our booking was 7:30 and that was the time we arrived. At 8:30 she said we had to go and that the class started at 7. This created an awkward atmosphere despite us showing her our booking. So we just left. We very much enjoyed the time together doing the activity but it could benefit from more leadership from the teacher and a positive attitude.
