Pottery classes in London : Join our make and paint pottery workshop in London and create your own handmade ceramic dinner plate from scratch.
This beginner-friendly experience is the perfect feel-good way to catch up – whether it’s a date, a gift, or a relaxing activity with friends. In this hands-on session, you'll learn how to shape your own ceramic plate using simple hand-building techniques, then paint and decorate it in your own style. You can go minimal, playful, textured, or expressive – there are no rules here, just your own unique spark.
  • Make your own ceramic plate from clay – Get stuck into the tactile process of building from scratch.
  • Shape and refine your piece by hand – Guided help is available every step of the way to help you find your groove.
  • Paint and decorate your plate using different techniques – Add a splash of personality to your creation.
  • Create a completely unique handmade ceramic piece – Walk away with something you'll want to show off.

Everything you need is provided, from the clay and tools to the decoration materials. Your plate will be glazed and kiln-fired by the studio team to make it food-safe and durable. Your finished piece will be ready to collect in two weeks, or it can be posted to you for an additional fee.
You'll finish the class feeling empowered by your new skills and ready to head home with a one-of-a-kind keepsake that will brighten up every mealtime.
Please note: You’re welcome to bring your own drinks and enjoy a relaxed creative session. We may take a few photos or short videos during the session to share the workshop experience on our social media and ClassBento page. If you’d prefer not to be included, just let us know – no problem at all.

  • 5/5 from Phoebe Paikkos-Wheeler, attended Jun 2026: Best pottery making/ painting in London. So much fun, really relaxed, Bora and Gulay were really helpful and put no constraints on what we wanted to make/ paint. 10/10 experience would definitely go again! :)

doppiocotto
doppiocotto

5.0 (68)

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.
