Wheel Throwing Experience Gifts
Roll up your sleeves and dive into your creativity with this pottery class in London. Try wheel throwing for a two-and-a-half-hour experience guided by the talented teachers at Bonbon Pottery.
Come and discover the art of shaping clay with your own hands, exploring techniques like pinching, coiling, and slab building to bring your creative visions to life in clay form. Plus, you'll have the opportunity to learn the art of painting intricate designs on your pottery.
You'll also get an introduction to wheel throwing, perfect for both beginners and those who need a refresher. You'll learn the basics of centring, opening, and pulling up the walls of your pot with personalised guidance.
You'll craft your very own beautiful works of art as you unwind with your pals in a vibrant London pottery studio. Once your pieces are finished, you can take them home to air dry for a week. Bonbon Pottery also offers a kiln firing service for just an extra £10 which will be ready in four weeks.

Recent reviews of Pottery Taster Class - Wheel Throwing - Royal Wharf

  • 5/5 from Gabriele Staraite, attended Mar 2026: Zac is the most fun pottery teacher I’ve had! He truly makes the experience one of a kind.
  • 4/5 from Angela Francis, attended Feb 2026: The class was really nice, and everyone finished with a great piece (thankfully the instructor helped those who needed it so we all had something regardless of our skill at the wheel). I would say, however, it feels a bit cheeky that you're then charged separately for kiln firing fees- the course is quite expensive so I would expect this to be included. I can understand shipping costs are additional if you can't come pick up the piece in person but I think the kiln fees shouldn't be additional/on top of considering value for money/what you get out of the course.
  • 5/5 from Ben Humphries, attended Mar 2025: The class was very easy and we got to grips with throwing very quickly! We were able to create our pieces and paint within our timeslot as we had plenty of time. Would definitely do this again :)
  • 5/5 from Peter Lambert, attended Nov 2024: Experience was lovely, as was Maddie!
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended May 2024: Really great session. Teacher was lovely, friendly and straight to the point. No awkward small talk. Really helpful too, mind needed a lot of adjustments We were a session of 6 and initially was only 2 heat guns, when asked they provided a 3rd. There weren't any tissues near the sink to dry hands which was inconvenient. Small things to improve but would highly recommend this class. Will have to come back in a month to collect fired piece but this makes it food safe!
  • 5/5 from Leonardo Andre de Moura Vaca, attended Apr 2024: We had a great time throwing the clay! Only wish we had more time to mould a shape. Would definitely recommend
  • 5/5 from Astrid Lewis, attended Mar 2024: My friend and I attended our first class and it was so much fun! Quite relaxing and therapeutic to make something with your hands. It was a great session, not rushed and you could be as creative as you wanted. We got the glazed piece in the end! Can't wait to see the final product in a few weeks. Will definitely visit again! Maybe for the unlimited wheel time or painting!
  • 5/5 from Foong-Jin, attended Mar 2024: Sasha (instructor) was really good. She first demonstrated what we will be doing, and then helped/guided us individually when it was our turn, and if we had any issues. She answered my questions patiently and made the session really easy/fun. The studio is large, with dedicated area for wheel throwing and pottery painting. It was a really fun afternoon activity, can't wait to see the results of our work after glazing and firing!
  • 5/5 from Gerry Clarke, attended Feb 2024: Very enjoyable class. Instructions were clear. Teacher very friendly. Very relaxed atmosphere would highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from David Moratinos, attended Feb 2024: My pottery class was a birthday present from a friend. I found the tutor ever so engaging and skilled. She's a star! The venue was perfect and the staff attentive and welcoming
  • 5/5 from James Hobson, attended Feb 2024: My Girlfriend and I wanted to try something new and we are so glad we chose this. It’s a comfy, relaxed space and all the people are friendly. Our teacher was engaging, clear, encouraging and lovely. Big recommend for anyone wanting to get started in pottery. Thank you for a great time! x
  • 4/5 from Christian Edobor, attended Feb 2024: It was good fun and my girlfriend loved it. Would have liked the opportunity to build more than one clay dish, but doesn't mean I won't return at a later date
  • 5/5 from Aicha Traore, attended Dec 2023: The teacher has been incredibly approachable, funny and yet professional. Made everyone feel at ease while still directing us firmly and tecahing us new skills. 10/10 would recommend and come back myself!
