What you'll do
Learn how to make your own unique ceramic plate at this creative pottery workshop in Wimbledon. This relaxing activity is an excellent opportunity to learn a new skill while working with your hands to create something beautiful and functional.You will begin by using a press mould to form the shape of your plate. After that, you'll learn how to bring your design to life by applying layers of coloured underglazes and slips. If you have a specific name or design in mind, it's a good idea to bring pre-prepared cut-outs using newspaper to save time during the session.Once complete, your piece will be fired and glazed by the studio, ready for you to collect a few weeks later.Please note, this workshop takes place in a shared community space. We ask that all work created is respectful to others, as we cannot fire any items that feature profanities or offensive language. The minimum age for attendance is 14, and anyone under 16 must be accompanied by a paying adult.You'll leave this session with the satisfaction of learning a new craft and creating a beautiful piece of pottery that you can treasure forever.
What you'll get
Please be aware that you will have to return to the workshop to get your finished piece - we're unable to send ceramics in the post. Please allow 8 weeks for this process; your work will need time to dry plus go through our firing process twice.

- 5/5 from Gary Malcolm, attended Jan 2026: Very friendly and helpful for two newbies. Look forward to receiving the plates.
- 5/5 from Beth Lucas, attended Jan 2024: I bought this workshop as a birthday present for my husband. He loved everything about it. Waiting anxiously now to find out if the plate has survived the firing!
- 5/5 from Alison Lodge, attended Jun 2021: A very enjoyable afternoon
- 5/5 from Karen Markham, attended Jun 2021: A lovely relaxing class, expertly lead by Eloise. Bonus - a beautiful plate to follow, hopefully - but that "waiting to see" is also part of the fun of clay!
- 5/5 from Sophie Apps, attended Jan 2020: Amazing class, thank you! Really excellent personal tuition and really good fun.
- 5/5 from Karin Ibbett, attended Nov 2019: The workshop was a such fun! we were given all sorts of ideas and equipment that might inspire us but were very much encouraged to choose how we wished to decorate the plate. Advice was full and the teachers kept an eye on us helping us to get the effect we wanted. The room was vibrant and inspiringly arty with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy their evening of creativity. We are already looking forward to next time.
