2 hours

Class size 1 to 4 (public classes), 2 to 8

  £65 - £120 (£120 per guest when you book for 1 guest, £65/guest for 2+ guests)

Join us in our bright, Leyton studio to learn the basics of hand building ceramics. This relaxed, friendly, and informative workshop is perfect for beginners looking to experience a taste of the ceramics process, or for those with some experience wanting give it another go. It’s ideal as a date night or unique experience with friends and family.
In this two-hour long class, you’ll learn how to use the slab building technique to design, sculpt and decorate your very own mug. You can carve textures, use underglaze paints to create patterns, or choose from our range of solid, colourful glazes.
With a maximum of 4 participants this intimate workshop means you'll get heaps of hands-on support as you learn. Unlike most teaching studios which have huge numbers of students, you won’t be fighting for the teacher’s attention.
After the workshop, we’ll glaze and fire your mugs for you so they’re fully functional. We’ll send them to your chosen UK address (or have them available for you to collect) in around 4-6 weeks' time. Everything is included and there are no extra costs!
Good to know
o Want to come at a date and time not displayed, or as a larger, private group? No problem! Just send us a message and we can get it arranged.
o Hand building isn’t too messy and aprons will be provided, but bear in mind that you might get a bit of clay on you.
o You may want to cut your nails before coming as this can make it easier, but it's not essential.
o We’re on the ground floor with step free access. Free parking is available.

Recent reviews of Handbuilding Pottery Class - Make Your Own Mug

  • 5/5 from Karen Flavell, attended Mar 2026: Flo was great. We all really enjoyed her class to make a mug. With just 4 of us we had plenty of assistance and she demonstrated and explained each step thoroughly. I would highly recommend for a group activity.
