A rare and hidden pottery Eden in the heart of east London, Stoke Newington. Cernamic studio in Stoke Newington was founded, created, and built during the first lockdown of the pandemic, through hard work, blood, sweat, and tears. Nam and Susi two professional ceramicists run this fun and affordable pottery studio open for everyone from all walks of life.

Nam Tran is an award-winning practitioner who gives lectures and demos at universities and exhibits internationally. A ceramic lecturer and head of the departments in design and multi-media with Kensington and Chelsea college. Nam specialises in wheel-thrown raku, bringing years of experience and craftsmanship to every object made.

Tran's work is focused primarily on exploring the physical properties of clay and material experimentation is a strong characteristic of his work. He has been developing making enclosed forms that are much stronger than open forms and therefore resonates well with the alternative firing technique he uses. His work is dominated by thrown pieces that subtly echo the urban roots and conceptual design. Nam Tran first made pots as a teenager on a wheel in his own bedroom and remembers being captivated by the experience. With his unique alternatives methods and approach to ceramics, Nam Tran identifies rules and manipulates and bends them.

Derek Tsui Apr 2024


1st time doing pottery and it was a great experience! Across the 2 hour session, the teacher was very helpful and was hands on where needed. Allowed us to make the pots ourselves and improve on it whilst making great suggestions.

Tom Apr 2024


Awesome 3 hour taster session with 2 hours at the wheel and an hour hand building. Amy was an amazing teacher, she explained and demonstrated each stage really clearly and helped everyone with their pots without taking control. Cherie was also super helpful and very encouraging. Wholly recommend this for anyone looking to try out pottery in a relaxing and fun environment. We weren’t limited to a certain amount of clay or pots, so great too for non-beginners refreshing their skills. Thanks so much!

Romana El-Semman Apr 2024


I researched quite a few pottery classes before booking this one and it was a great choice. Very enjoyable experience with lovely patient teachers.

Jade Tucker Apr 2024


A wonderful experience with friendly and engaging teachers! I can’t wait to go back :)

Victoria Babatunde Apr 2024


The class was lots of fun and things were well explained. In the ideal world, we would have liked a slightly smaller class to get a bit more feedback with the teacher and assistants but we'd definitely come again. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Katie Traver Apr 2024


The instructors are so helpful and explain everything really clearly. We had 2 hours on the wheel, first making a pot all together and then free-wheeling it (if you'll allow the pun). We then spent an hour on the table making things by hand. It was lots of fun and a very supportive and positive atmosphere. A great way to spend time with friends, family, or just on your own.

Tasha Walker Apr 2024


The class was amazing! Both Rosa and Cherrie were very skilled, professional, and made the class very fun. The interior was stunning and included all sorts of different pottery which was great for inspiration. Will definitely be going back!

Thomas Barnett Apr 2024


All the teachers were great and very helpful, especially Nam! Great experience very enjoyable with a group of us.

Vincent Apr 2024


Amazing time, very concise and clear instructions on being able to throw on a wheel. Great support from the tutors (Aimee and Cherrie) definitely will be back for the course!

Eddie Ker Apr 2024


Very friendly and helpful teachers. Attentive to learners. Thanks to the technicians for attaching handles for us!

Amelie Apr 2024


This was a fantastic class. It was super enjoyable and fun! Ariana, the teacher, was super happy and helpful, and made the class extremely enjoyable. Would definitely recommend!

Alicia Pastor Palomares Apr 2024


I really enjoy it. The teachers were really helpful and really encouraged you to experiment with the clay. I left with 2 lovely pots with personality. 100% recomended!

Agnes Delaney Apr 2024


Such a fun and informative two hours! TJ was a fabulous teacher and the studio had the coolest vibe- will definitely be back!

Victoria Jones Apr 2024


TJ has a lovely energy and is such a great teacher! An excellent way to spend a couple hours.

Francesca Tattersall Apr 2024


Really lovely class, the teacher was so helpful and encouraging! The space was so beautiful and it provided everything you needed for the class. Really worth the price!

Friyana Iranpur Apr 2024


Nam was a great teacher. He explained the process both technically and non technically for different learning styles. He provided guidance as well as let us explore ourselves. Was a well taught class and really enjoyable. Enough time and material to make two items. At the end, they didn’t rush anyone out and let people finish at their own pace.

Anonymised ClassBento student Apr 2024


Really good experience. Perfect for total beginners, no experience needed, very satisfying and get to take away a beautiful object. Nam (class leader/studio founder) was super helpful. Really cool studio.

Kamila Spychalska Apr 2024


Great atmosphere and Rosa was an amazing host. Instructions were very clear. We really enjoyed the class ️

Belinda Craigie Apr 2024


A fun weekend activity! Everything was provided and it was great to learn a new skill. Thanks!

Fergus Bell Apr 2024


great class with a great teacher that is Rosa. Sets you up with good base knowledge to see if you want to take it further.

Anonymised ClassBento student Apr 2024


- We booked this class as a mother's day gift.

- The teacher Nam was amazing, incredibly knowledgable and patient. He made the class really enjoyable and relaxing. He described the process of pottery making in a way that made you think differently about the experience.

- The venue was great, it had everything needed.

- The materials were great, we were provided more than enough to make 2 products.

- We learnt how to use a pottery wheel and to form different shapes.

- The class was great value! You get to take home 2 products and also learn a new skill.

- I enjoyed the way the class was taught by Nam the most.

Anonymised ClassBento student Apr 2024


Great for beginners and truly a wonderful experience from end-to-end! The perfect balance between attentive and allowing students to get creative. Would definitely come back again.

Yetunde Apr 2024


Had a great time at this class. Especially as a beginner. Nam and Ari were very engaging and offered a lot of help and support. The class was split into three basic steps which helped me get through the process of learning very swiftly. I still need a lot of practice but I’m very happy with the outcome of my bowl and cup. Only thing I would say that its extremely cold in there so make sure you cover up.

Giulia Tassone Apr 2024


Would definitely recommend this activity. A great mix of learning, doing and also having fun.

Marie Kelly Apr 2024


Loved this class. The teaching was great and the atmosphere lovely and light hearted. I would recommend it.

Valentino Zucchetti Apr 2024


We had a wonderful time at the beginners pottery wheel class!

It was a good amount of time, the teachers were clear and very nice.

We made three pieces of pottery and we can’t wait to have it delivered.

We already suggested the place to fiends! 5 stars!

Anonymised ClassBento student Apr 2024


Nam was extremely patient, engaging and clear - it was a very fun and productive 3h session. Would highly recommend!

Matthew Langlands Apr 2024


My partner and I went to try something new together and we are so glad we did. We loved it.

Nam and Ari were wonderful teachers and supported as needed, but also pushed us to learn and do it independently.

The class went at a decent pace, starting with a demonstration of the basics. Then working on a piece of clay going along with the instructions from Nam, and then having a go independently at a second piece of clay.

I thought the class was brilliant value for money. We did not feel rushed for time. And while the class is advertised as 2 hours, it was not a rush to get you out the door when the time was up. There was time to wash up and to pay to get your pieces glazed and put it in the kiln to pick up in 4-5 weeks.

I'll definitely be attending another class at Cernamics in the future.

Amy and cherry were wonderful teachers. We had a wonderful creative time Thank you both for an awesome experience.

Thomas Day Mar 2024


I had a fab time. Ari was very friendly and a great teacher. The class was really good and I was able to try my hand at different pot making techniques.
Welcoming atmosphere.

Serina Gardner Mar 2024


Excellent experience
Will definitely come again.
We have passed the pottery details onto a friend.

Thank you

Anonymised ClassBento student Mar 2024


Great fun and the teachers were super helpful, rescued my creations on a few occasions!

Anonymised ClassBento student Mar 2024


The class was great, I had no previous experience with pottery making and found it easy to follow the instructions. The teacher was very engaging and helpful. The group was also small enough for him to guide everyone individually. Had a very wholesome and inspiring experience, definitely would recommend.

Anonymised ClassBento student Mar 2024


The class was fun but there were a lot of students compared to number of teachers so it was difficult to get support when it was needed to actually learn the technique and improve on mistakes. I feel like if I took another class I’d make the same mistakes. Given the price of the class it would have been good to have the price of having an item fired included

Danielle Mar 2024


Great class - the teacher was fun and engaging. Also very patient and helpful with us. I really enjoyed the class and I went by myself. It’s a fun activity to do alone or with people. I would recommend it.

Pottery class review by Danielle - London

Tilly Mar 2024

We took a 3 hour class which was 2 hours of wheel throwing and 1 hour of hand building. The whole thing was very well taught and there was lots of reassuring support and help for first time potters! Had a great time

Felipe Pacheco Mar 2024


Got this as a Christmas present and very much enjoyed it! Nam is a very good teacher and very supportive with beginners. Although the space was a little cold, this was mentioned to us well in advance and the venue was a conducive creation space. The toilet left a little to be desired, but nothing major I suppose. Overall, great hands-on class with the option of taking your work home, which is a nice touch.

Helen Mar 2024


Ari was a great teacher, ably supported by Simon. They were efficient at getting the teaching done so we could get stuck in, and never made us feel inadequate in our skills! It was great that they helped rectify issues quickly so no one got left behind or felt their time wasted. The venue was good - so tucked away you'd never have imagined what it looked like inside but very well suited for a class. We learned a lot about the basics of pottery throwing and behaviour of clay when using it. I was pleasantly surprised by my results! And we got more done than I thought too - I expected one "practice" and one "real thing", but we ended up making a good 3 (some people 4) real things on the wheel and a hand moulded pot too. You could then choose how many to pay for (£5 each) to have finished and pick up in a few weeks.

I would recommend the class to anyone, my friend and I (early 30s, and me quite heavily pregnant at the time!) had a wonderful friend date and found it enjoyable and quite therapeutic! Good value for money.

Maisie Wood Mar 2024


I came with a friend as a birthday present and it was so much fun! All our pots turned out great and the teachers were so helpful and made sure we came away happy with what we’d made. I also think it’s great value for money so I would definitely come again!

Pottery Making Taster Workshop review by Maisie Wood - London

Anonymised ClassBento student Mar 2024


Great class - lovely and patient teacher. Very chilled / friendly atmosphere. Would highly recommend and keen to go back!

Andy Andreou Mar 2024


Had an amazing time. Staff were brilliant and explained all in great detail. Definitely would recommend.

Jennifer Steinmann Mar 2024


We had a lovely time at our first pottery class Would definitely recommend as a cute date night :)

Stephen Ware Mar 2024


Brilliant time with the family, lots of fun, gave a great insight into pottery throwing

Robert Mar 2024


Both myself and my boyfriend loved the pottery taster class. The instructors were really friendly and approachable. The class is initially guided and then you have free reign to make what you like, with the instructors always supportive to get you a finished product. A perfect Christmas present, as it was so cheap to then have your pieces fired and painted, ready to be taken home!

Maisie Severn Mar 2024


Took my boyfriend on a surprise date as we are keen to learn new skills- it was so fun! The teacher was knowledgeable, funny and great at explaining to complete novices.

Jeremy Tucker Mar 2024


I enjoyed the class enormously. I had never done any pottery before, but by the end of the session I had made two pots and a bowl that I was very pleased with. The tutors, Rose and Cherry, were excellent: the initial instruction was very clear, and they gave us help where we needed it, but no more than that, so I felt that what I had made was mostly my own work!

Pottery class review by Jeremy Tucker - London

Anonymised ClassBento student Mar 2024


Great class. Simon is a very good instructor and gave clear instructions and demonstrations. Would definitely recommend!

Liz Mar 2024


Lovely community feel in this small class group. The venue was the perfect space and a bit like walking into a TARDIS from the outside - such a surprise!
Nam is an excellent teacher, warm, thoroughly personable, and with a good sense of on-point humour.
I really enjoyed my first experience with this taster pottery class and definitely want to explore it further.
Thank you Nam!

Mavis Taylor Mar 2024


Really talented staff who are friendly and helpful. They made sure everyone had a satisfying outcome and experience.

Chris Irwin Mar 2024


Had a great time today at Ceramics taster class! Rosa and Cherry were both amazing workshop leaders and had great senses of humour! Thanks for a great day!

Jasmin Mar 2024


Went with my friends for a birthday treat. The teachers were amazing, so helpful, kind and friendly which made the class more enjoyable. The venue was great and easy to find. The materials provided were excellent and they even allowed us to have extra clay when we messed up or had spare time to make more pieces which was very generous of them. I learned a lot and the class is definitely worth the price. It was really engaging and fun and got me a lot more interested in pottery than i was before. I would 100% come back again!

Joseph Jajjo Mar 2024


Amazing class! Ended up wanting 5 pieces which we’re going to pick up in a few weeks. Really fantastic teachers and helped all along the way

Gabriela Goncalves Mar 2024


We did this course for my mums birthday and we loved it! Nam is great at his art and a thorough teacher! The studio is fab and I would definitely come back again! We loved it!
It is pricey but to learn a new skill is worth the money.

Dominic Raffin Mar 2024


Really good instructors, very thorough and helpful - ideal for a beginner. Would recommend to others

Kate Wainer Mar 2024


I took my sister for her birthday- ideal present! The class was really fun and accessible, we learnt how to throw a small pot on a wheel with guidance and then one by ourselves. The teacher was always great and on hand to help out if needed, and the space was relaxed. Excited to pick up our finished pieces!

Isha Baliyan Mar 2024


It was such a wholesome experience. A perfect class for total beginners as the trainers are so patient and helpful. Loved every bit of it.

Highly recommend

Genevieve Feb 2024


It was fun and really learned the basics in a short span of time! Very patient instructors as well!

Fernanda Mendes Feb 2024


It’s a lot more difficult than it looks but Ariana made it fun and walked us through the step by step extremely well. I’m booking another taster again soon!

Gbemisola Ogunfiditimi Feb 2024


The class was really good, really beginner friendly and the teacher are very helpful! I’d definitely recommend

Abigail Reynolds Feb 2024


Brilliant class. Took you through the basics step by step and provided loads of support and guidance. Great equipment. Has definitely made me think about a more in depth course

Bidesh Sarkar Feb 2024


Brilliant atmosphere, which was relaxed yet focused, and lots fun. Lovely and very able instructors.

Mohan Surendran Feb 2024


This was a birthday gift from my husband, and we did it together, which was a lot of fun. The space is lovely and TJ was a really lovely teacher. As it was a taster, it went far too quickly which perhaps is a good thing as it was super fun. As a whole TJ made the class very enjoyable, and she was super cheerful and was very easy to engage with.

Vladislav Feb 2024


As someone who tried pottery for the first time, this place is definately the place to go. A real art studio with skillfull people. Booked this as a Valentine's activity and we got two attempts (so two clay balls) to create bowls and/or vases. And of course you can request to have them fired in a kiln for an extra £5, very much worth it!

Megan Henry Feb 2024


Had a brilliant time the instructors were great. 2 hours flew by and felt like I meant a lot in 2 hours. Will definitely be back and it was good value for money

Joelle Kawi Feb 2024


My friend and I really enjoyed class! The instructors were really amazing (so sorry forgot their names, I’m so bad with it) were really hands on, very informative and really took their time with every person present during the session. Absolutely loved it!

Patrycja Sewerynek Feb 2024


Great class. Everything was explained in detail. I left feeling I know a lot about pottery and wanting to learn even more!

Stephanie Bunten Feb 2024


Such an enjoyable afternoon! Our instructor was very clear and patient and helped us to all master the basics of pottery throwing! We made 2 pots each which we get to glaze and have fired. Great warehouse venue too. Loved it! Will be back

Arturo Schlitzer Feb 2024


Super welcoming, really helpful, we loved it.

Can't wait to get our pots back! Hopefully see you soon again

Kieran Easton Feb 2024


Fantastic class - a friendly supportive environment, brilliant studio, really made by the two teachers Anika and Louise. Thank you!

Saleha Malek Feb 2024


The class was super fun, with very knowledgeable and enthusiastic teachers! Gave very helpful tips and we’re very patient with newbies like me!

Greta Balciunaite Feb 2024


I took my friend to celebrate her birthday. It was better than any expectations i had, we had such a well planned and organised workshop leading to finishing two items each to take home with us (collection after 4 weeks). Couldn’t recommend more! Beautiful space, funny and knowledgeable tutor, great great experience!

Anonymised ClassBento student Feb 2024


I went with my gf for a date and had a great time! The teaching was amazing (friendly, explained the basic concepts well, and helpful), all materials were high-quality, and generally good value for money as we were able to make two pots (and get them fired & glazed for an extra £5 each). We went over the basic CHOP process, turning a block of clay to bowls, cups, etc. I would definitely recommend this to beginners as the atmosphere, teaching, and staff were perfect for dipping your toes into pottery.

Lorraine Gilbert Feb 2024


Me and my bestie had a fantastic time at the beginners poetry class. Lovely, friendly, humourous tutors who explained every step of the creation process in a fun way.
Both newbies like me and a few that had some prior experience were taught in a way that works best for every level.
Great value too for time and what I made, and actually very relaxing.
I highly recommend this class.

James Bushby Feb 2024


Great teacher and lovely guy!

We hope to come again soon!

Would very much recommend

Adam Keyes Feb 2024


Nam and the team were super knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and easy to work with.

Really enjoyed our time at Cernamic, and would definitely recommend.

Barry Westley Pidgeon Feb 2024


We enjoyed our time there, was fun learning how to throw clay, had a great experience.

Vicky Dabek Feb 2024


Wonderful atmosphere and very helpful and kind teachers! Very fun Valentine’s Day out! Highly recommended

Lorenzo Pryce Feb 2024


Loved this experience, Arianna was super chill & ease to learn from, always helped, and was easy to talk to.

Would definitely come again.

Love!
Lorenzo

Lavan Navaratnam Feb 2024


Fantastic event, hosts were so nice. Learnt so much. I Couldn’t reccomend this more.

Benjamin Feb 2024


Arianna was amazing, her teaching really helped us to get on track with our first few creations. She was really encouraging and helped us make what we wanted to for valentine's day, definitely worth it and would love to come again for some of the courses we spoke about!

Alfie Fry Feb 2024


Had an amazing time during the pottery class. The teachers were very knowledgable and helpful, would definitely recommend!

Daniel Turner Feb 2024


Great date idea! But lots of singles there too! Booked this for me and my partner - she’s very creative and likes something a bit different. Very welcoming and positive teacher of the class! Really bounced round the group and made sure everyone was getting used to it and putting everyone back on track when things didn’t go as well.
We crafted 2 pots on a spinning table each where I only expected to do it once - they gave you plenty of time to start again if you needed to as well. It wasn’t rushed at all which I thought was great. The techniques were explained well so was easy to put into practice.
We then went on to hand clay. I personally didn’t enjoy this as much as it was a little more self taught and you have to be more creative. Still good fun, someone made a pineapple which was hands down the winner!
All in all - great afternoon out! Would recommend!

Jazmine Feb 2024


I this class the second time around just as much as the first! It was for my partners birthday present & he loved it just as much.

We had two amazing instructors, who explained everything & gave the best advice, especially when it was our turn. Everything is provided, you do need to pay extra if you are taking then home.

I believe an excellent value for money & would always come back another time around.

Pottery Making Taster Workshop review by Jazmine - London

Carolyn Turner Feb 2024


Teacher, Rosa, was very clear in her instructions and she and Cherry were very supportive. This was a present from my children and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Happy to recommend this taster session. And I have 3 pots to take home!

Asha Feb 2024


My friends and I are first time pottery makers and we tried out this class and it was amazing! Our teacher Alex was so informative and gave us a full demonstration of how to make a pot, explaining each process in detail. Then, when it was our turn to work on our clay, Alex and another staff member, Ari came round and helped out. This is a really fun 2 hour workshop and would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to try something different!

Yok Siew Tan Feb 2024


A great class held by Nam et al. First time potter and loved it! It was good to learn about the different techniques as well as explore more around the benefits of pottery as a means of improving mental health. Highly recommended for all.

Lisa Bertuolo Feb 2024


We were in London for holiday and we wanted to try something different The teachers are kind and prepared, they help you at any time and explain very well. It was a wonderful experience. For those who want there is also the option to have their creations sent home

Phoebe Tuckett Feb 2024


A brilliant class for beginners! We had a really good time, and made two lovely
pots each.

Charlie Turnbull Feb 2024


Had the best time! Cherry and Rosa are clearly extremely talented potters but more importantly great teachers, they hit the perfect balance of friendly banter and helpful information.

I cannot wait to see my vase and plate in a few weeks time

P.S. I will change this review dramatically if I am not happy with the end results (just kidding)

Anna Joseph Feb 2024


Absolutely brilliant. The teachers were so kind and helpful. We would highly recommend to everyone.

Emma Dane Feb 2024


Really helpful and encouraging. Thoroughly enjoyed our time. Would definitely encourage others to book on to the course.

Shazna Begum Feb 2024


I went with a friend to do this activitysomething different whilst we catched up in life and we both really enjoyed this class. It was fun and the instructors: Sherry and TJ were very helpful. We made 3 different pieces and all materials were provided to us and we learnt different hand techniques for pottery making. I definitely would recommend this class to others. You learn something new andhave something to talk about.

Jonathan Jan 2024


This class was great, even though we were a few minutes late the staff were super welcoming and helpful even when the vessels lost their integrity. By the end of the class, I did feel comfortable centering and doing basic things with the clay.

Anonymised ClassBento student Jan 2024


We attended a taster session at Cernamic and it was brilliant! The teacher was very friendly and helpful, and provided a good amount of theory and instruction. Thank you!

Catherine Jones Jan 2024


Excellent class. The teachers were very clear, friendly and helpful and worked through the steps one at a time. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone that wants to try pottery.

Daniella Myers Jan 2024


The teachers were so friendly and helpful, there were really with us every step of the way. The space was beautiful, a huge workshop with all the tools you need. I thought three hours would be a lot, but in the end, I could have stayed there all day. Highly recommend

Alice Coe Jan 2024


Really great, well paced class. Very friendly staff, and had something to take away at the end (with a little help!)

Antonia Corr Jan 2024


Birthday present from my sister. Had such fun learning how to make pottery on a wheel. Venue was super cool and the level of instruction was just right. All materials required were supplied. Learnt the basics of how to make pottery on a wheel. Class was good value for money. Only issue was there was not enough instructors to help assist (one more would have been good for the number of participants), meaning that sometimes had to wait around before getting assistance to progress to the next step.

Booked to try something, learnt a lot. The instructions were very friendly and helpful, really good value for money. I made a bowl and a mug.

Jenny Littlewood Jan 2024


I absolutely loved this class. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I had never used a pottery wheel before, but I’m hooked now and really want to do more!

Ciara Jan 2024


I took my mum here for her birthday, we had a great time making 5 items between us. Our teacher Nam gave really clear and helpful instructions, but also enough freedom to learn for ourselves. Can’t wait to collect our bowls and cups after they’ve been glazed! :)

Andrea Rosales Pieroni Jan 2024


Amazing class and amazing teachers! The studio is super big and with all you need to enjoy doing Pottery

Miriam Jan 2024


Nam was a brilliant teacher and taught us LOTS in the short session, while also enabling a fun and relaxing experience. The school is super cool and everyone there has a lovely friendly vibe - staff and students alike.

Andre Vilarinho Jan 2024


I have a absolute amazing experience on my pottery taste class on Sunday morning. Nam was amazing, very patient and passionate, 3 hours when super quick. The studio was everything that we need and more, I felt part of one amazing community. Definitely gonna be back soon and explore this form of art more deeply. Thank you Nam.

Alexandra Datcu Jan 2024


The class was amazing, such a fun time! Teachers were both super helpful and patient with everyone in the class. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to try something new.

Lydia Taylor Jan 2024


This class was really fun and a great little taster of pottery, well worth a visit.

Jatinder Jan 2024


Something different from your ordinary date night but thoroughly enjoyed it! Nam is a fantastic teacher and his team were really helpful!

As a creative person, this really is something I loved as it’s challenging but therapeutic.

My wife and I are looking to book another class in the summer!

Sarah Bush Jan 2024


The teacher was great. Explaining everything step by and by demonstrating. The venue was a lovely open studio with plenty of ceramics out on display for inspiration. It was a little cold so wear layers.
The best bit was the throwing, there was plenty of time and 3 people on hand to help when you went a bit wobbly.
Generally a great warm and friendly experience with a lot packed in. Great for beginners and those who have a little experience. I would highly recommend.

This was my first time ever trying pottery and it was super fun! The instructors were lovely and they were really attentive and helpful. Would 100% recommend. :)

Emily Jan 2024


This class was amazing and provided in-depth tuition for beginners. The teacher was great at demonstrating and explaining everything and they radiated good energy and warmth to make everyone feel at ease. Kudos to the teacher as everyone’s creations turned out amazing and they quickly jumped in to guide & help at any point if a mishap was imminent. All equipment is provided and the opportunity to pay £5 per item makes it really flexible to keep pieces or not. Great value for money and a useful & enjoyable class overall!

Nam was a great instructor. Took the time to explain, was enthusiastic throughout and gave every single person in the group individual attention and help. He was also very patient and really wanted all of us to learn the art. The studio was great too. There were other regular members who were doing their own work. And they were friendly too. Nice atmosphere to be around

Linda Wheadon Jan 2024


None of us had ever done pottery before. Rosa and cherry were fantastic teachers. I can't belive that we made 3 pots each that we were really pleased with. Great fun and great value

Florina Jan 2024


This was an amazing experience, the teacher was super friendly and helpful, and she has explained everything in great details, providing guidance at all times, if not her, one of her assistants was there to support if needed.
I have done pottery so many years ago, so getting to try it once again has been amazing

Great taster class for wheel throwing. The instructor was very informative throughout and help was offered the whole way through also. I made 2 pots and can’t wait to see them glazed once they’re ready!

Danielle Jackson Jan 2024


Great class and you get to do a lot in the 3 hours - really good value for money.

Ully Oliveira Flores Jan 2024

Took my husband for his birthday. Fantastic teacher, great environment, really enjoyed it and would highly recommend!

Henry Allingham Jan 2024


Fantastic! Really supportive teacher, loads of time working with the clay and just getting stuck into it. Would 100% recommend

Alexander Wells Jan 2024


Really engaging, helpful and informative. Highly recommend to anyone interested in pottery! Never felt rushed but did feel comfortable to ask questions and for advice!

Adele Fash Jan 2024


Nam was great- funny and engaging (a little quietly spoken at the start before we'd started the class but then confident and clear once we started).

We covered the basics and were all able to throw a pot by the end. Certainly tempted to try the beginners course! The equipment was all very good and we had a big heater to keep us warm.

The studio was great- big and open, bright and lots of air flow and it was fun to see the students in the background at work!

Love that the clay is recycled.

The only thing i'd recommend is soap in the bathroom :)

Abbie Manning Jan 2024


Really recommend! Lovely relaxed setting, just enough help from the teacher whilst still giving us space to try things and own our own work. Teacher was very patient and friendly. :)

Tanya Honey Jan 2024


The class was pitched at the right level for beginners and the instructions were clearly given and easy to follow. Thanks to Rosa and her helpers! Overall a welcoming and supportive atmosphere in a cool studio. My husband and I were delighted to create 3 lovely items in the 2 hours and look forward to collecting them! Would highly recommend.

Steve Hopkins Jan 2024


Bought this as a Christmas gift for my girlfriend and had an amazing time. Rosa the instructor was excellent and very helpful! Highly recommended!

Demi Green Jan 2024


Nam was an amazing teacher , very interactive, welcoming, highly skilled and passionate to teach . Nam guided us through each step and supported us keeping the class relaxed. The demonstration was broken down into stages educating us at each step very interactive. Hands down best class in London . We will be re visiting soon thank you x

Paul Jan 2024


Really good taster course. Teacher (Christof) was agreeable, engaging, and explained well. A fun 3 hours!

Rachel Schwartz Jan 2024


Really fun and I felt like a got a good overview of using the wheel. Handbuilding was a bit rushed.

Fu Ping Lee Jan 2024


I was fun and educational. Krystof was great! I would totally recommend the class to anyone

Natalie Claire Dray Jan 2024


Our teacher Nam was very personable and a great teacher. He guided us through the whole process and help throughout but also let us do what we wanted. He made everything simple given it was our first time. The 2 hours flew by and we would definitely recommend doing this class.

It's very therapeutic and also fun!

Tom Goodwin Jan 2024


This class was amazing, Rosa is a great teacher and gets you making your own pots as quick as possible. So much fun!

Amelia Wilson Jan 2024


It was a really great class! Rosa talked us through all the steps involved super clearly and she on the other staff were on hand to help us out and give us extra guidance where needed. I can't wait to pick up my beautiful bowl!

Tessa Northcott Jan 2024


Amazing introduction to pottery! I was able to make three mugs in just one three hour session. Nam and Ari were so helpful, patient and brilliant teachers. I can’t wait to come again.

Emma Baker Jan 2024


Our teacher was amazing, she really made us feel relaxed in the space even though it was completely new to most of us. The techniques were talked through in a clear an fun way, with support all the way through to make sure we came out with something we liked. I made a bowl and some pinch pots that were nice enough to gift for Christmas - not bad for a first session!
Having never done pottery before this class I will definitely be picking it up as a more frequent hobby.
Would 100% recommend these guys.

Jasmine Gambini Dec 2023


Great session, lovely teachers and nice venue. Would definitely go again! Great value for money.

The building is cold in the winter months so I recommend wearing a few layers and bringing a flask of tea!

Ronnie Vernon Dec 2023


It was my girlfriends and I first time trying a pottery class and we had such a great time. The teacher was brilliant, entertaining and very helpful. I would 100% recommend! We will be back for sure!

A very laid back and wholesome class - all the teachers were super supportive and kind, always ready to help! Took my mum for her birthday and we’d both love to come back.

Catherine Dec 2023


My friend and I loved this class! The tutor was super helpful and articulate in explaining the processes with the clay on the wheel. Really happy with what I created and can't wait to see the finished, fired up pieces.

Jeah Dec 2023


The staff and the teacher was kind and helpful and the lesson was quite thorough, it started late but we made up the time. she teaches the basics and you have a chance to make 3 wheel thrown pieces and a hand mould piece, you pay extra for the pieces you want to keep and you can choose what colour glaze you want. We really enjoyed it We had fun and we defo reccomend :))

Andrew Ritter Dec 2023


Nam was very personable, friendly, skills and loads of expertise. He led us through the key steps for creating our own pots on a wheel, all within 2 hours. I think we all felt like we were real potters! Great fun, really enjoyed the experience.

Such a great class! I brought this for my girlfriend and I & we both loved it. Great teachers, would highly recommend for a fun, creative day!

Anonymised ClassBento student Nov 2023


Nam was a great teacher, very patient and knowledgeable and fun! We were all absolute beginners and ended up creating pots we were happy with.

The venue was great, felt right at home in the studio :D great music too!

We were given everything we needed, including aprons!

The experience was awesome and we all had a great time! We were all converts and ready to go and throw some more straight after.

Nadia Nov 2023


Teacher was great.
Venue was cold, large, disgusting loos.
Learnt how to make pots on the wheel and by hand.
A group class of beginners, would be better one to one.

Jennifer Lam Nov 2023


Christopher and Cherry are really helpful. If you struggle, they are always here to help and guide. We had so much fun. You can actually make 3 things in 2 hours.

Georgia Meredith Nov 2023


What a lovely experience! I have never used a pottery wheel before but the step by step teacher led lesson was perfect to help me throw my very first pot. I would highly recommend this workshop as you will come away with a great sense of achievement (and even a pot or 2 to show for it!)

Jennifer McKenzie-Brown Nov 2023


Thoroughly enjoyed my taster pottery class with Nam! It has really inspired me to pursue pottery further despite not being very good at it! Haha. Nam was very friendly and helpful throughout the class. My only negative is that I would have also liked to have done pottery making off of the wheel, as you can create more intricate, imaginative designs. Also, I thought that one piece of pottery could be fired and coloured free of charge and that it was included in the pretty pricey cost of the class. But overall I would recommend this class to anyone who is interested in learning more about pottery making!

Kevin Jarin Nov 2023


I recently attended a ceramic pottery class in Stoke Newington, and it was a blast! The instructions were clear, making the two hours fly by. However, the class size posed a challenge; with only two teachers, some struggled more than others, and a few went unnoticed. Despite this, I managed to craft two small pots with the option for glazing. Overall, a fun experience, but perhaps a smaller class size would enhance individual attention. I'd still recommend it!

Katrina Harris Nov 2023


This class was absolutely brilliant! We were expectedly guided through how to throw pottery on the wheel in really easy steps and everyone created something they were proud of. Nam is an excellent teacher and good fun. Lovely studio and perfect for all experience levels. We didn't feel rushed and we were able to do as much pottery as we could in the time slot. Looking forward to my next session.

Lindsay Pinnick Nov 2023


Great teacher - really helpful and patient with us all. Explained and demonstrated really clearly.
Venue easy to access and well equipped.
Great price.
Thoroughly recommend!

Isabella Pepe Nov 2023


Good pace, great teaching style
Really enjoyed the class and learned something new!
Looking forward to coming back

Anonymised ClassBento student Nov 2023


I went with my partner to the 2-hour Pottery Making Taster Workshop as a birthday gift. The experience was absolutely amazing. We would like to thank the teacher Christophe (from The Great Pottery Throw Down on Channel 4).

Christophe was very patient, assuring and explained the wheel throwing techniques with great care and attention to detail. At no point did we feel like we were being rushed. Christophe was happy to help us correct our mistakes and we really appreciated that he would also explain the cause of the mistake and what he was doing to rectify it.

We had enough time to make 3 creations of our own during the 2 hours. I would highly recommend this taster session and I look forward to trying out the hand making session at some point in the future.

Lastly, I would also like to add that the venue has a warm, friendly atmosphere with great music. There are amazing creations on the shelves in the venue. If you are a Nintendo fan like myself you will be impressed!

Things to notes:
To enter the building, you may need to call the number at the front of the large black gate.
At the time of writing each creation costs £5 to keep. You can either do a bank transfer or bring cash in advance of the class.

Mirna Nov 2023


I went with friends and it was our first experience with pottery and certainly wont be our last! We enjoyed it so much, it was de-stressing, fun and a chance to get creative. Paul, Layila and Anitha were super friendly, very patient with us and explained things in detail. We also had few tries so certainly got better by the end of the taster class!

Anonymised ClassBento student Nov 2023


The teacher we had was lovely and very welcoming.
The 3h taster class was very informative if you are a complete beginner and we got to do quite a couple of creations (4) in that time.

Krish Rajaram Nov 2023


Best teacher in the world honestly, as a complete newbie to the game of pottery. It was a date for me and my girlfriend, the teacher the staff were so friendly and very hospitable towards their customers, it’s fun exciting and defo messy so wear something you hate. Overall 5 star experience

Sara Lozano Nov 2023


Amazing experience - Rosa was a great teacher & we had so much fun in the 3 hour class. Can’t wait to see our finished products!

Alice Walters Nov 2023


Lovely welcome from Cherry. Inspiring to look around the studio beforehand and see what people had made.
Amy was a great teacher: very clear in her demos and explanations before we started and then calm and encouraging as we did it ourselves.
It clearly takes time to master the techniques but she made sure we didn’t go horribly wrong and they we ended up with some pieces were proud of.
There was a fun atmosphere too with quite a bit of happy chat. Altogether a great way to spend a Sunday morning and I’d like to do more.

Booked this session to celebrate our 2 year anniversary and we couldn’t have enjoyed it more. The class was beginner friendly in a wonderful art studio. All the necessary materials were provided, accompanied with wonderful instructors that demonstrated the whole process from start to finish. 100% would recommend, if you’ve always wanted to try pottery. Will definitely be going again!

Beth Price-King Nov 2023


We had a great time at the taster session on Saturday 11th.

We decided to do a fun wholesome Saturday and try something new. It was great and all of us really enjoyed it! My friend Beth and I now want to do a course!

The teachers Rosa and Cherry were really great. They made it super fun, funny and engaging.

Cannot wait to sign up for courses!

John Cordeaux Nov 2023


Excellent teaching, well explained and modelled for the class. Went round helping and explaining, we had great fun - highly recommended.

Marie Ainslie Nov 2023


Booked for my friend's 60th. I'd never done this and have no artistic talent at all. We both really enjoyed it and were fairly successful. We made two items which we left to be fired and glazed. The teacher was great and the steps were easy to follow. I would have loved a 3 hour session because there were too many students to see to in 2 hours and it would give you more time to experiment/practise

Saskia Oroyemi Nov 2023


Great experience! The teacher was really authentic and , really inspired me to continue with pottery. I booked this class for my partner’s birthday and he had a great time too. Really happy we have some physical mementos as well

Alison Carey Nov 2023


Teachers were great. Venue was as expected (be ready to get a little dirty). We had two hours on the pottery turn-wheel, which great fun. Teachers were there all the way through to assist and bring our creations back to life! The last hour was making something by hand (freestyle). All great fun. Would do it again. Thank you very much.

Octavia Grove Nov 2023


The teacher was incredible, so informative and supportive whilst maintaining a very relaxed vibe for the class. I was really impressed with the scope of the teaching and will definitely be recommending it to friends/family and looking into joining their 6-week course.

Super fun class. Really clear instructions and a lot of help offered after. A lot of clay to play with. Will definitely come again, thank you for a great evening xo

Patchi Claudino Nov 2023


My partner and I had the best time!

Nam and Susie are super talented and passionate about their work as ceramicists and educators.

Nam was our instructor and he’s an excellent teacher! Very engaging, attentive and encouraging. The instructions are clear and make success achievable.

They provide plenty of clay and time to practice and make various pieces. We ended up having 3 glazed (each)!

The studio is spacious and bright and has a great community feel with other lessons going on and members doing their own thing. Great vibe.

This was my second workshop with Cernamic, this time at their new studio. I did one last year with my cousin and it was just as good.

I couldn’t recommend it more!

Thank you, Cernamic!

Meghana Nov 2023


Amazing experience I would recommend to anyone! Nam was such an engaging and encouraging teacher and he made the whole experience so fun and relaxing. I did the taster glass as a complete beginner and after two hours I was throwing and shaping independently and had made 3 pieces of pottery! Very reasonably priced and I would do it all over again. This was a birthday activity for me and Nam even threw in a free piece of pottery he had made as a little gift. 10/10.

Claire Galvin Nov 2023


The teachers were great, so friendly and encouraging!
The venue was quite cold but we had heaters which did the trick. Also warm tea was available.
The teachers installed confidence and the class made me want to do another course!

Alex Hinge Nov 2023


The class leaders were lovely and make it such an enjoyable experience. The studio and set up was also very cool

Marta Alves Nov 2023


Lovely venue and amazing teachers. Great that they helped us throughout the whole workshop and made sure we actually ended up with some pottery pieces.

Alessandra Oyebola Nov 2023


Myself and my partner had an amazing time at the class. The teacher is very experienced and extremely patient. It’s very therapeutic. Will definitely recommend

Fantastic Class! really well planned, easy to follow and thoroughly enyjoyable! Nam is such a great guy and his experience of 20 years made it really easy for me to follow the basic steps quite quickly
Enjoyed whole experience from start to finish!

Sara Mohammed Oct 2023


Was great fun, teachers were great and very helpful. Have always wanted to try pottery so this was a great experience for me and my friends

Zoe Innerarity Oct 2023


I decided to organise a pottery session for my friends and I for my birthday last week and honestly we all honestly had the best time! The teacher(Nam) created a relaxed and transparent environment. Perfect session if you are a beginner as well! I hope to come back very very soon

Manola Martinelli Oct 2023


Nam was great! He went through all the process from start to finish,explaining every detail, giving tips and helping each single person in the group throughout the whole experience. We have been given 3 chances on the wheel, making whatever we wanted plus another 45 mins to make something (with more clay!) by hand, decorating,personalising etc.
You don't get to paint your final work, but whatever you choose to keep,they'll glaze it for you (either blue or transparent) for an extra £5. A great experience, 3 hours of learning new things, relaxing and enjoy a very calm and friendly environment. Highly recommended

Morten Eh Oct 2023


We had a really great experience. The teachers were super friendly. The location was amazing. I would definitely recommend and I would definitely come again.

Michael Athinodorou Oct 2023


Instructions were really easy to follow even for beginners like us! Had an amazing time!

Had a really nice time trying something new on the two hour taster session. Christophe was a great teacher who made you feel welcome & he clearly enjoyed what he was doing. The studio was a very nice environment to be in & I would definitely recommend this to a friend.

Amone Gbedemah Oct 2023


Christophe and Cherrie were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They made the experience very enjoyable. Would do it again!

Jessica Oct 2023


We had a great taster class. Christoph was very clear in his instructions and took time to go round and help everyone. I was really pleased to end up with a nice vase at the end of the class!

Mhairi Elisabeth Thatcher Oct 2023


Beautiful charming studio. The instructors Rosa, Cherie and Suzy were so helpful, fun and informative and struck the perfect balance between giving you independence and also stepping in if you wanted them to, to guarantee you came away with some pieces you were happy with. I surprised my partner with this class as a gift and he had a great time and is really excited to pick up our pieces once they're glazed and fired. We came away with 10 different things! Looking forward to having some cute, unique crockery and decorative pieces that we made together in our home.

Paolo Stucchi Oct 2023


Amazing class! Quay and Cherrie are both great teachers we had loads of fun and we’ll hold on to our pots dearly.

Did this activity for my wife's birthday, and it was an amazing experience.

As someone who admittedly had no prior interest in pottery, the teachers were fun, personable, bubbly and explained things in the simplest way.

At the end we bought 3 items as mementos from the day. Overall it was a great day that was affordable, fun and well worth it!

Absolutely loved this class! I attended with my partner and neither of us had ever done pottery before. Rosa was an extremely good teacher and was accompanied by other helpers who would walk round and give helping hands when needed. Despite the class being quite full on the day we attended, you would get help instantly if you were struggling. We attended the 3 hour session and got to make more pieces than I expected - we made 4 things each and if you were quicker you could make more. You can choose which pieces you want to keep at the end and you pay £5 per piece, which I think is very reasonable given the team will glaze the pieces (blue, white or transparent) and add handles for any you want to turn into a mug. Loved this workshop and think the price was fair! Would recommend to anyone.

Kayly Browne Sep 2023


We had a fantastic experience doing the tasters pottery class with no prior experience. The instructors are super helpful and help you make beautiful creations. My only advice would be the signings on the bottom of each pottery we took back home. The words could have been smaller and it takes away from the polished look of the pottery. Otherwise, we loved the experience and they created an amazing handle for one of our items. Wish the course could have been longer as we really enjoyed ourselves.

Shahmima Sep 2023


The teacher was friendly, helpful, informative and instructed us all well. The other teachers who assisted were also friendly and very helpful - very patient.

3 hours went super quick, which means I enjoyed it!

I’m grateful for the experience and can’t wait to see the finished products

Deffo recommending this to others ☺️.

Sandra Darko Sep 2023


It was my first time doing pottery. Friendly and helpful teachers. Good location & a great vibe, would recommend

Karim Bakkali Sep 2023


Great instructors who are very friendly and most of all patient. I messed up a lot, and they kept coming back to check up on me. Not only did they help to make sure I was actually able to take something away but they really take the time to teach the technique so you can do it yourself. It's a really fun experience where you don't feel pressure, giving you a lot of time to start from scratch if needed or whether you want to make multiple pieces.

The class was great- had lots of time and freedom to work on stuff, as well as receiving extra help when we wanted it. Amy was super lovely and her instructions and explanations were very helpful and easy to understand. She also was just great to chat to in general.

The studio itself is lovely, easy to get to from the train station. Also seeing other pottery works and other classes set up was really cool. Everyone was super friendly.

Cherrie helped me out in between, she was super good too.

Thank you both for a lovely taster session!

Lola Newell Aug 2023


I bought this workshop as a gift for my friends birthday and we had such a lovely experience! We were both complete novices to pottery making so it was great to get to experience two different techniques in one session. Nam was a great teacher who was very knowledgeable but explained things in a way that could be understood by someone who had no experience (like ourselves!). Ari who was helping Nam was also great and super helpful. Overall it was a great experience and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for something relaxing and different to do in London. It also makes a great gift as my friend who’s birthday it was had a really lovely time!

Erika Marveggio Aug 2023


the course was very interesting. The teacher taught us the basic techniques to be able to approach the raw material and realize our ideas. Very relaxing course that allows you to explore this art form.

Onajite Riamah Aug 2023


All the teachers were nice. They were approachable and gave lots of advice. I learnt a lot about pottery. I would definitely recommend this pottery studio.

Fiona Aug 2023


The class was incredible! Nam was an amazing instructor. His explanation of the process was beautiful to listen to, his instructions were clear and easy to follow as a complete beginner with lots of one to one help as and when needed. I can’t recommend the class enough, I will definitely be returning! Bonus: absolutely gorgeous venue!

Nam was the best We made three bits each on the beginner class- did not feel rushed at all. Such a great time

Aisling Lavelle Aug 2023


Rosa's ten years' experience teaching middle school kids equipped her perfectly to respond to the very varied needs of our class. Every explanation was crystal clear, backed up by solid grounding in physics, and demonstrated expertly. She was also very warm and encouraging with us all, making sure that we were aware that a range of outcomes was possible. The pace of the class was excellent - we had plenty of time to work on our pieces whilst also benefitting from Rosa's experience and troubleshooting help. I don't think you could find a better tutor for an introduction to pottery!

Arifa Akhtar Aug 2023


What was the teacher like? Amazing!
How was the venue (if applicable)? Amazing!
If materials were provided, did you like them? Great!

It was very good value for money and we made some really cute pieces (between the 2 of us we made mugs and bowls and we're very excited to see them finished)!

Fun and engaging experience. Teachers were very friendly, patient and helpful throughout the entire course - making us feel comfortable to try on our own and being free to ask questions or for more guidance.

Well worth the price for the experience you get. Have the chance to create 3 different ceramic pieces of your choice.

Would recommend to anyone that would want to get into pottery or just to have some fun doing an activity with a friend or partner.

Maria Mystakou Jul 2023

Xanthe Wilkins Jul 2023


This was the second taster workshop I attended - I’ve been giving them as birthday presents to any friends who want to try throwing - both sessions were so much fun!

The teachers are great, and Nam and Susie are so lovely. You can tell they just love to make and create. The class gives you a very thorough overview on throwing, and you get a long way in 2 hours.

Will definitely be going back in the autumn to do the 6 or 8 week classes and can’t wait to get started!

I’m so pleased with the pieces I made in the taster workshops and am really excited to learn the ins and outs of glazing and firing.

Rosa did a fantastic job of leading the Saturday morning workshop, bringing lots of energy, humour and enthusiasm to the session. We had great fun learning how to use the wheel and made 3 items per person. Cherry and Ren were also available to support, so there was always someone to ask for help or advice. Overall the class was really well run, with a very fun vibe and I would definitely recommend it to other beginners wanting to try out pottery or for just something different to do for an occasion! We'll definitely be back again!

The teacher was amazing, very captivating and easy to learn from and super informative! Also very helpful throughout the duration of the class. The venue was tricky to find but very cute inside with loads of pottery inspiration. It was nice to have three balls of clay and extra if required to play with. Loved learning how to manipulate the clay on the wheel. Very good value for money!

I had the 3 hour class. The class was good but I felt that a lot of time was used to explain how to use the wheel and although needed the amount taken was too long and took away from the time to work on the wheel and if felt like the time spent explaining was used to fill the time. The hand modelling was fun and overall class was good.

Paloma Ruiz Jun 2023


The teachers were great! They explained every step very clear and helped everybody with questions, very patient! The place is very good as it is spacious and even though it was a very hot day, the temperature inside was perfect.

An excellent class that I did with my sister and dad for fathers day! none of us had ever done spinning pottery before and Nam hit the perfect balance of making us feel like we had done it ourselves and given it all a good go but also supporting us and making sure we had something we felt proud of at the end!

Would highly recommend to anyone looking for something different to try! Time flew by! thank you Nam!

Friendly beginners class! Rosa gave loads of very useful and well-structured instructions. My pots are nowhere near perfect but the process was loads of fun! Would recommend.

Alicia McQuade Jun 2023


My partner and I were thrilled with this experience. It was even better than we anticipated. Rosa was an incredible teacher and we both felt we left with the key basics of pottery making. The class was the perfect mix of theory and practise, with enough time to play and experiment on your own. We really liked that we had multiple opportunities to make something on the pottery wheel, and that we got to do hand-shape pottery in the final stage of the workshop. We left with five beautiful pieces that we are very excited to come and pick up once fired and glazed. We will also be back to learn more. You have two pottery-converts here! Thank you for such a great time.

Nam was a great teacher, he inspired us all with his skills, able to create a pot, a bowl with a few seconds!
Him and the rest of the team were very approachable and helpful.
There was plenty of material for everyone, and the place was easy to find and felt very welcoming.
Would enroll in one of their courses for sure!
For me it was a great learning but also very relaxing and a kind of meditation!

Panna Thakker Jun 2023


It was a man amazing first time pottery experience for me with step by step guidance from Rosa on the techniques involved with plenty of help from the other assistants when needed. The venue was great and easy to get to and with a class of 13 /14 was just right for the session. There was time to experiment independently and it was very therapeutic at the same time.

I booked this class as a birthday present for my girlfriend and we were both incredibly impressed with the whole experience.
Our class was led by Nam who explained everything step by step, with little breaks to help if anyone was struggling but also gave us all lots of creative freedom to try different techniques. There were also a group of assistants providing tips throughout the session who were all so helpful and enthusiastic.
We’re so pleased to hear a new studio has opened in Deptford (where we from) so we will certainly be heading for another class!

Emily Hopkins Jun 2023


Venue was lovely, teachers were super knowledgeable and helpful - 2 hours was a good taster session for clay but obviously requires many more hours to master the skill. Teachers were eager to help, but it did feel a bit rushed at times and that they felt annoyed we hadn't asked for more help

Rebecca Lynn May 2023


We went as a group of 3 with no previous experience. Our teacher was fabulous - patient, clear and with great sense of humour. She took us through handling clay on the wheel in easy to follow steps and we ended up with some good pieces to take home. Facilities were good but best thing is the escape from all the usual pressures just focussing on the clay. Wonderful experience and highly recommend

I arranged the taster course with a couple of friends and we had a great time. The studio is bright and full of colour. The instructors are hugely welcoming and gave great tuition in how to approach the wheel for the first time. I actually came away with a real sense that I had a few skills even after just 2 hours.
We made a few things and had a good amount of time to explore creatively. We had a great afternoon and would definitely recommend visiting. Thanks!

Stephanie Myers May 2023


I was just a once-off potter to the studio as I do not live in London.
The studio is light and airy and I was warmly welcomed by Kam. I didn’t take part in the class but watched the tutors. They were patient and attentive with each pupil and I was surprised at the level achieved by these new potters. This happens because the teaching is excellent.
An afternoon we’ll spent and I will hopefully return when I am back in London

So much fun! Really good guidance from our teachers and I saw some kind of small improvements toward the end, very satisfying and thoroughly enjoyable! Thanks

Betty Lin May 2023

This class was really good, so much so I'm looking into taking more! Recommend!

Adriana May 2023


Our teacher was very engaging and explained the process clearly before we were let loose on the clay by ourselves. The first item was made along with his instruction and then the other 2 items were made with his and the team's supervision if required.

The studio was big and the class did not feel at all cramped. The way the class was set out, it was clear to see everything that the teacher was demonstrating.

I had always wanted to do this sort of class and it didn't disappoint! The time went so quickly and I enjoyed it so much. I now want to book a longer course after the taster session.

Michael Donlea May 2023


A really fun and engaging class with helpful teachers who are ready to give you a hand. This was a very therapeutic 2 hours and I'd love to come back for more!

Elena Lambrianou May 2023


Mum and I had a really good time, would definitely come back again. Nam is an amazing teacher!

Quennie Ho Apr 2023


Highly recommend this class! The teacher and assistants were so informative and friendly! Made the class a very lovely experience

Rory McNamara Apr 2023


The teachers were great. It was the perfect balance between guidance and letting you explore on your own.
The space was amazing and its very well organised.

Livia Rossi Apr 2023


Great class, very didactic and also very flexible - the teacher was willing to step back or assist you more as you wished. Effective technique allows for a pleasant experience and the option to have the pieces after for a small fee is great (I would not have wanted to have it embedded in the price). Nice studio spacious and well lit, but don't come for a luxurious venue. Tram is super nice and makes the experience worth it.

Sofia Barbosa Apr 2023


It was great The class was very fun and helpful and the place is very cute

Erica Cohen Apr 2023


An excellent way to quickly learn the basics and make some pottery on a wheel. Great teacher, with two extra staff members to help when you get into tricky spots. All materials and aprons provided. You get to have your pottery fired, painted (even handles added) if you want for an extra £5 each. A great class!

Pottery Making Taster Workshop review by Erica Cohen - London

Louisa Kadri Apr 2023


Really well run and organised with plenty of help on hand for total beginners
I would recommend this taster class to everyone interested in how to start making pottery

Joey Levenson Apr 2023


Rosa was great! There was plenty of tools and generous amounts of clay to use too

Adriana Tabuenca Apr 2023


I really enjoyed it! Teachers/assistants are very good, and the studio is ❤️. I’ll be back 100%

Will Teagle Apr 2023


Great venue and very enthusiastic teacher (Rosa). Well worth it to get the extra hour.

Jo Bole Apr 2023


Great teaching - we made stuff we like ! Very enjoyable. We’ll go back! Thoroughly recommended

Jodie Macpherson Apr 2023


This class was great! Went along with a friend as a birthday gift. Neither of us had ever done wheel pottery before, but Rosa and the other teachers were super helpful and informative. They really packed a lot into a short space of time and I was pleasantly surprised that we got to make 3 items in the time we were there. I chose to keep all of mines and would be really keen to do more classes here. Overall, definitely worth the money and a lot of fun!

James Mackay Apr 2023


Very good, different thing to do for an evening! Instructors were very nice and helpful!

Marianne Roberts Apr 2023

Pottery Making Taster Workshop review by Yemanah Darby - London

Mabel Bravery Apr 2023


I really enjoyed the pottery lesson. The staff were very knowledgeable and helpful :)

During the demonstration, other people in the studio were talking loudly and using noisy tools which meant I couldn't actually hear what the teacher was saying. This was very frustrating. The main noise was coming from someone who was washing up and was having a small talk conversation so I think it could have been avoided.

Suggestions for improvement:
- ask other people in the studio to be quiet during demonstration.
- I think one item should come free with the class rather than having to pay £5 on top. I'd be happy to pay £5 per extra pieces thereafter.

Heike Messler Apr 2023


Rosa and her colleagues were amazing teachers! The class was so much fun and I can't wait to see the fired pots.

Beautiful studio.
As a beginner I knew absolutely nothing about pottery. The staff were attentive, energetic and passionate about what they do. It was a large class, but I never felt like I couldn't get the support when I asked for it.

Thoroughly enjoyed my first time having a go at some pottery on the wheel at Cernamics I booked the throwing taster session for my mum and I as a birthday gift and we both loved it. The teachers were very thorough in their demo and patient with everyone as we battled to get out clay centred. Absolutely loved the pieces we made and am really looking forward to picking them up once they’ve been glazed. Highly recommend!

Such a cool and lovely studio to get to work in! The teacher, Rosa, was amazing! Along with Isabella, who came around and helped us as we worked. I learned a lot and really enjoyed the process of spinning clay. Would absolutely recommend to anyone interested in learning more about pottery or even those who do know some about it already!

Aleksandra Ovsyannikova Mar 2023


An amazing class delivered by Amy and Nam! Instructions were very clear and both teachers were very helpful and supportive. We had a great class and would definitely go again. I think I’ve picked up a new hobby!

Loved the class. The teacher Rosa was great, and very helpful. Super excited to see how our pots come out. Only downside was that Rosa and Isabella were very attentive to everyone so sometimes you had to wait a bit for help or support.

Pottery Making Taster Workshop review by Amy Packham - London

Daniel Gardner Mar 2023


The class was great, the teacher was very helpful but also let us explore things by ourselves. Everything was provided during the class and even at the end you're able to choose which of your pots you want to send to the oven to glaze and pick up at later time. 100% would recommend.

This was such a great class and the teacher was amazing, however the class was £50, and you have to pay extra to keep the items you make. This was disappointing

Fiona Harding Mar 2023


Fantastic class Rosa was INCREDIBLE. Really took the class from great to unmissable. Meg was a delight and so helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience I won’t forget!

Azzurra Tacente Feb 2023


A fantastic community space for artists! The class is a nice intro to the pottery world, teachers are friendly and very professional. For a small contribution you can have your creations glazed and it's possible to collect them after a few weeks. Very recommended for a creative afternoon

Nick McGrath Feb 2023


Really enjoyed the taster session. Ultra clear institutions meant my efforts were way better than I'd anticipated. The atmosphere in the class was really relaxed and fun. And all played out with the Ghost soundtrack. Really fun evening. Highly recommended and looking forward to seeing how my dog bowls look in three weeks when they're been glazed and fired.

Jack Naish Feb 2023


Great class, so much fun and great teacher.
Feedback for the teacher:
I would recommend including the purchase of one of the made pieces in the class cost I would feel a lot better spending £50 on the class and not having to purchase my pieces to be kilned, than spend £45 and having to pay £5 for the piece I made, not sure why, but give it a go.

OUTSTANDING class with such great one to one teaching, practice, environment and learning. My daughter and I found it very memorable. Nam was excellent

Lauren Welford Feb 2023


So much fun Rosa and Isabella were so patient and helpful throughout. We even came with a few pieces in tact!

Lucy Carter Feb 2023


The main teacher was very friendly and helpful, and made what could have been a complex and confusing set of instructions seem manageable! The assistants were also great, and never made you feel like you'd really messed up (even if your clay went flying off of the wheel).

The venue is beautiful, really well decorated and comfortable. Being in a big room with lots of other people, all working on their own projects, creates a relaxed and communal atmosphere.

The whole experience was great!

Jayne Frisby Feb 2023


An excellent class! The teachers were great, very enthusiastic and informative. We had never done pottery before and it was perfect for beginners.

Kasha Feb 2023

Helen Poplett Feb 2023


Good value for money. Great intro to potters wheel. Good group teaching and enough support around to get 1-1 help if needed.

Sara Sánchez Feb 2023


I think the teachers were great, very helpful.
In my opinion for what we paid for the class our creations should be for free.
Also in 2 hours I think we could have done something else like pottery decorations.

Teacher's response

Thank you Sara for coming to the workshop was a pleasure to have you, and we are glad you enjoyed the class.
With energy crisis and rise, we do state on the description that optional additional pots to be kept and fired will be charge at the end of the class. We know that all studios have done this in London, and we are the lowest in cost for class to pots ratio in London I believe. With the 2 hr taster it’s slightly hard to do decoration as the wheel throwing taster is already a skill in itself and takes about 15/20hrs of practice and the clay is super wet, so we focus on this to make sure everyone is confident and happy with the technical aspect and forms. We however have a 3 hour taster class and within the description, students can hand build and decorate forms which gives more time and people don’t feel as rushed.

Sophie Axtell Feb 2023


Really fun and informative class. The teacher was great and there was lots of support from the team during the class if you needed it, would definitely recommend!

George Barber Feb 2023


Really great place and everyone was very friendly. Well taught and good value for money

Gwen Rees-Stams Feb 2023


Absolutely amazing class! Thoroughly enjoyed it all. Lovely welcoming teachers and environment!

A really fun class. The teachers were great, they explained everything thoroughly and were really enthusiastic. The venue was super cool. Overall a great experience.

Lucy Jephcott-Spurge Jan 2023


This was a busy class and it's understandable why - a very knowledgeable, friendly teacher who clearly loved what she did and wanted you to share in this enthusiasm. My wife and I had a wonderful time, learned a lot, and made some great (although maybe a little 'wonky' looking!) pieces that'll be ready for pick up soon. Would definitely recommend.

Rhiann Knowles Jan 2023

Lucy Gatland Jan 2023


I was bought this as a Christmas present from my boyfriend. It was an incredible day spent in the workshop. We were taken through the fundamentals and taught how to throw using the wheel step by step. We were given two hours on the wheel to make three items of our choice. The final hour was spent with hand modelling clay. All in all it was a fantastic experience and I have thoroughly recommended it to all of my friends!

Maya Hall Jan 2023


Amazing teacher, the studio is such a great space. We’re given the opportunity to make multiple items which I also loved!

Great instruction and in class support. Felt like I was actually using the wheel and making my own pots without a teacher just “doing it for me” but at the same time the teachers were there if specific support was needed

The teachers were great and was very good atmosphere. All materials included and they really ensure you get the most out of the session. We had great fun!

Location was easy to find although I had to wait a bit to be let in.
My first time doing pottery and I loved it so much I think I’m going to sign up for the beginners course next!

Clare Greer Jan 2023


The teacher was very talented as an instructor. Warm and friendly and the pace & pitch were perfect. She showed the skills then immediately let you get in with it yourself and there were lots of helpers around if you got stuck. Can’t believe I actually made a pot! Really fun hour of pottery and if you like any of the pieces you made, they fire and glaze them for you for just £5 (cost of glaze, time and furnace). Recommend as a great birthday present for someone you want to spend time with making memories.

Ana Predescu Jan 2023

This was a really excellent experience. Great studio and the team there are lovely, friendly and helpful. We highly recommend.

Felix Atkin Dec 2022


We were lucky enough to have a lesson with Nam Tran, who gave our team of 8 a wonderful introduction to pottery. The studio itself was a pottery wonderland laid out with wheels for our class. We all produced products that we were excited to have fired to take home later.

I would absolutely recommend Cernamic as a team event, but I will be coming back for more social sessions.

Teacher was friendly and approachable. He made the class relax and try to enjoy the experience. He was very knowledgable too. The amount of time we had with the clay was great and definitely good value for money. The class switch off from every day life and enjoy making some object with my hands. I definitely recommend!

Celia Urbach Dec 2022


Lovely venue. Good teacher. Lots of support from other potters. Need to go back and do more though!

Ananya Dixit Dec 2022


The class was fab. It was my first time trying pottery and I'm sure I'll be back for more. The teacher was great, very pleasant and took time out to explain things easily. She also helped out very easily when we inadvertently made mistakes. The venue was great too, and I really enjoyed my time.

Pottery Making Taster Workshop review by Ananya Dixit - London

Olivier Nov 2022


A great introductory course!
The teachers, Rose and Isabelle were very clear in their explanations and very supportive. I felt empowered to try my own things yet tactfully guided to avoid a catastrophe (which did occur, as it happens; I nearly re-plastered the studio, but that's ok!) I'm very proud of my creations and can't wait to see them glazed and fired. I would definitively do another course at Cernamics, maybe over a few weeks this time.

Great experience and a fun few hours spent working our inner potter! Throwdown here we come (not)!
Tutor, workshop and materials all great and the whole experience is good value for money.

Sophia Zimmer Nov 2022


Had a fantastic time, my first time trying pottery and yes, it was difficult and yes, I messed up a lot but the teachers were lovely and ready to jump in and help us any time and it was so much fun! The studio was bright and spacious and filled with amazing pottery art to look at. I feel like they really made the best use of the 3 hours, we learned a lot and and everyone had something to take home at the end. This really encouraged me to do pottery again in the future. Overall a great experience!

Great class and great teachers, I was a complete beginner so had lots to learn

Nicola Davies Nov 2022


We had an excellent time at Cernamic! It was great to learn all the techniques step by step but then also have time to play around with the clay. Thoroughly enjoyed it and felt it was great value for money!

Holly Sutton-Williams Nov 2022


What a fantastic class The teacher explained everything so well. Everyone in our group successfully made multiple pots/bowls.
And it was such good value for money!

Tyler Rickerby-Lowe Nov 2022


This was a really nice and fun experience! Me and my partner went together and was part of a small class that included 5 other people. The teacher was welcoming, friendly, great at explaining the basics and helpful all the way throughout. The overall atmosphere was fun and enjoyable - would definitely come back again

Henri Naef Nov 2022

Quick basic tutorial to pottery. Best part was they provided us 3 pieces of mould to use so there was a chance to make a mistake & redo or have 3 individual mugs/bowls. Highly recommend.

It was such a fun weekend activity with a few friends!

Chioma Anyanwu Nov 2022


Nam was knowledgeable and approachable. The environment was meditative and intentional and were given tips along the way. Every person there always ready to give some tips and make ammendments if we struggled. Always had the support! The lesson was at a great pace - good amount of time of explaining and demonstrating. It was a very chilled environment! Recommend this to anyone and would definitely pay another visit with friends. Thank you for such a great experience, Nam and team - I’ve learnt so much!

Such a lovely class, could not recommend it more. I did ceramics in school for 2 years and learned more about throwing pottery and great technique in this 2 hour class than I ever did over the 2 years of study in school. If you love a little competition this is right up your alley too, since if you can perfectly centre your piece you could get the class for free! Although I was unsuccessful, it definitely lit a fire under my arse.

Veronica Burci Oct 2022


A great approach to pottery! The teacher and his team are very knowledgeable and approachable. They were always on hands to support all the way through the process. The studio is cosy and filled with natural light, very relaxed atmosphere. It was a very fun and rewarding experience, I will definitely go back!

Christopher Asare-Mensah Oct 2022


Amazing hosting! They was crazy helpful in so many ways. Politeness, attentive, just everything couldn’t fault you guys keep it up. Chris and Fads

We had a great experience at the beginners pottery class - the teacher was very knowledgeable and also lovely so we had a fun time learning the basics with his help. I would definitely recommend the class and we’re looking into doing longer courses at the studio to learn more!

Francesca Lupsac Oct 2022


The teacher who demonstrated at the beginning of the class was fantastic. They taught us all the basics and then walked around to help all of us restructure and restabilize our pieces, as did the other teachers who were walking around. It was such a great way to spend a Sunday. Fantastic value for money. Everyone was so positive and I felt very supported to unleash my creativity during the entire process. I definitely want to come back to this venue to have another go at it. I even decided to pay to have 2 pieces fired so I’ll get to keep them forever :) highly highly recommend this place. My friend and I had a great time.

The whole class was great and really enjoyable! The instructors explained everything well and were happy to help out. We booked the three hour session. The first two hours were learning to throw on the wheel, and the final hour was coiling and slightly more "free-form".

Would highly recommend!

My two friends and I attended the beginner throwing class this week, and all really enjoyed it.
The teachers are all really friendly and helpful, they knew when to step in and help us, or when to let us mess around a bit and figure things out by ourselves.
I hope I'm able to go back for another class soon!

The pottery class was great, the environment was very relaxed and friendly. Nam was a great teacher, explaining and demonstrating all the techniques and allowing us a lot of time to practise for ourselves and the class was small enough that you could get a lot of help and support. It was a really positive and fun experience and I would definitely recommend!

Emily Wharton Oct 2022


Really fun class in great atmosphere, and great intro to throwing and learning basic technique. The studio is super nice and the team very helpful. Strongly recommend! Thanks Nam + team for a great afternoon :)

James Oct 2022


My partner and I loved our pottery taster at Cernamic! Nam and Susi were really great teachers, providing a welcoming and inspiring space, with lots of hands on demonstrations and helpful information. The class felt relaxed, and though we didn't feel at all rushed we managed to make 3-4 pieces each and were able to have a go at throwing on the wheel and hand building. I would definitely recommend this class and I'll now be booking the 5 week course! Thanks Nam and Susi :)

It was a great experience. The teacher and the assistants were great and taught us different techniques. Great value for money. I bought this class as a gift for my girlfriend and she loved every minute of it. Definitely recommend this class

Jana Phillips Sep 2022


Lots of fun and very clear and well-explained. Lots of time to try the wheel and hand-building. Plenty of clay provided too. Super well-organised with lots of helpful assistants onhand.

Sammie Mortensen Sep 2022


Very fun class. The instructors were all really helpful with the pottery wheel and you were able to try three times with the wheel and then did handsculpting work after

Lyes Fridi Sep 2022


Great class with great instruction and assistance as needed. Get to try two methods of pottery making. The wheel definitely more fun but much harder, so the results are more rewarding. Recommend!

Charlie Snuggs Sep 2022


The pottery class took place in a very well designed pottery workshop. The moment you walked in you felt a sense of calmness. The teachers were so lovely and amazing. I came out having learnt so much from their guidance having walked in with no knowledge. We made 3 pots in the 2 hours. I felt I achieved a lot! I shall be back

Ana Cruz Sep 2022


First time trying pottery and I absolutely loved it The space is awesome and the teacher was knowledgeable and kind.

Donald Tibbetts Sep 2022


Great experience. There's no denying that myself and my team are not naturals at throwing pots, and after 3 hours of it, my fingerprints didn't work again for half a day, but I'd love to go back for another go.
Just the demo before we got our hands dirty was remarkable.
Plenty of my colleagues are jealous, and for me it represented really excellent value, especially for such an activity/class so close to central London.

Tamara Sep 2022


I came to this workshop to celebrate my birthday and I enjoyed every second of it! The instructors were welcoming and friendly, and explained everything thoroughly in a way that was easy to understand. I would definitely recommend it!

Bridget Haywood Sep 2022


Bought this class as a birthday present for my sister and we both absolutely loved it! It’s the perfect introduction to pottery throwing. Nam is really friendly and helpful and explains things well so it’s great for total beginners. The studio has a lovely atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this class!

Charles Stuart Sep 2022


Absolutely loved this beginners class. The teachers were really fantastic.
Informative, helpful, funny and just really chilled out!
Not something i thought i would ever do, but i'm so glad i did.
My partner and i really enjoyed it!

Immy Osborn Sep 2022


This is genuinely the best experience ever with the loveliest teachers. Really beautiful place, calm vibes. Nam, Suzie, Paul and the rest are really good teachers, calm and funny and encouraging.
Literally finished my first taster and booked another one before the spaces were gone!
100% would recommend. Guaranteed to have a fun time

Diana Oneil Sep 2022


Very accommodating trying to fit my daughter into the class at short notice, sadly I tested positive for Covid so couldn’t attend, completely understood my dilemma.
Both my daughters enjoyed the workshop, very well explained and great teaching.

Dalya Samra Sep 2022


Really fun experience! I would definitely recommend. The teacher and helpers were really good. The teacher explained and demonstrated the techniques as well as offered help when needed.

Brandon Warren Aug 2022


The class was really good, the teacher made sure it was a friendly learning environment. It's very difficult to find the right balance of learning with hand holding or letting us free but they seemed to have the perfect balance allowing us to develop at our own rate. Really fun and truthfully I had no interest myself but now definitely will be looking to go back.

Jackie McMillan Aug 2022


Wonderful workshop. Lovely space, even lovelier people. We wish we could spend all our time here. We learnt so much in such a short time, just enough to get us hooked! We've wanted to have a try at the pottery wheel for so long and it was so much fun, thanks for having us. Can't wait to pick up our pots in a few weeks time!

Even if you don’t have a creative bone in your body this is something you have to try. Nam, the teacher, was fantastic. Along with his team they take of you make you feel relaxed and calm.

I really loved this class! Nam and Susie are clearly experts in ceramics and have a passion that shows in the way they teach the class. I found it approachable, very well taught and fun. I feel like I've walked away with the most important foundational skills in ceramics that I want to keep testing out and practicing. Highly recommended this class!

Ling Wei Aug 2022


Great workshop, Nam was such a well spoken and passionate teacher and this is most well-paced pottery class I've been to! You have time to make a total of 4 pieces, and you definitely feel like you've improved from piece to piece. Beautiful large workshop too and all in all a wonderful experience, highly recommended!

Hilary Biyaya Aug 2022


I did the pottery class as a birthday treat to myself & I must say that I absolutely loved it! It was my first time doing pottery & Nam was really patient with each of us. He took the time to explain everything we were doing & the reasons why. I learnt a lot during the 3 hours and can definitely see myself doing this class again in the future. I also can’t wait to collect my creations in 3 weeks - Thank you Nam!

Vanessa Colace Aug 2022


Really good, had a great time. Teachers are patient and very talented, they helped us out when needed while letting us explore. Really good workshop.

Jakub Watemborski Aug 2022


Fantastic experience! A very chilled and welcoming place and the potters were not only super knowledgeable, but also lovely people you simply enjoy listening to :)
You will come out knowing the basics and ready to start making your own mugs, vases and bowls. You will have enough time to create 3 things if it goes well, and you can keep them all at £5 a piece. Cernamic will glaze it for you and you can pick the pieces up 3 weeks later following an email.

Will definitely try to come back for another session

Bethany Atack Aug 2022


Excellent class with a great teacher and well paced. The studio is a lovely environment too.

Nayab Zamir Aug 2022


Really loved this session! 3 hours flew by and we got to do a mix of working on the wheel and hand moulding. The venue kept us cool in the heatwave and had so many impressive builds. Brilliant engaging teacher!

Ya Tang Aug 2022


My friends and I's experience with this taster session was amazing! I'd been wanting to learn pottery for a while and this is the perfect class to start. Rosa and the other teachers were super helpful and extremely sociable which made for a comfortable and fun environment! Everyone was encouraging and friendly, I am definately coming back and would recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn more about pottery :)

Nuttaricha Ngarmskullert Aug 2022


Nam was a lovely and patient teacher. He taught the skills needed to be a beginner in throwing on the wheel and I ended up with some lovely pieces. The team are so helpful and are determined to see you succeed and will help you along the way. They also give lots of freedom if you seem to be doing well which is very nice.

Siba Majid Aug 2022

Claire Aug 2022


Such a refreshing workshop in a beautiful space and with talented and kind people. I learnt a lot and it felt really peaceful to build something with our hands in just about 3h. Totally recommend!

Vincent Fortuin Aug 2022


The atmosphere in the space was very casual and pleasant and the teachers were friendly and supportive. They let us try most things ourselves, but provided a little bit of help just in the right places to make sure we end up with some nice products to take home. I can wholeheartedly recommend the whole course!

Elli Tzini Aug 2022


Really nice class. You can go by yourself or with friends. Great for couples as well! Easy steps and you get to keep your creations

My girlfriend and I went on recently as a mini anniversary celebration. It was a really enjoyable experience. Thanks to Nam our instructor as well as the co-instructors for a really chilled class. I felt like there was a good balance between helping us when we were struggling and also giving us freedom to experiment and try our own thing.

Our class was three hours and I felt that was the right amount of time for a first time taster session, would recommend!

Riva Cahn-Thompson Aug 2022


We had our team social at Cernamic last week and could not have been happier! It was such a welcoming environment - our teachers made wheel throwing feel exciting, challenging and fun. We got lots of one on one support - there were 3 teachers for 10 of us. It was so rewarding to walk away from class with pieces ready for them to glaze and fire and everyone got to stretch themselves creatively to make something different.

It definitely got me thinking about taking up a new hobby!

I booked a pottery taster session for my friend’s birthday at Cernamic and we were not disappointed! The studio is an amazing, creative and relaxed space full of light and good vibes. The teachers, Nam and Amy were so knowledgeable and friendly, and were on hand to help us throughout the whole session. We thought it was fantastic value for money as we were there for almost 4 hours total and the teachers were incredibly generous with their time and the amount of clay we could use. We were never rushed and Nam took us through each stage of making a pot on a wheel - we had such a fun and enjoyable experience! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to try their hand at pottery.

Took my girlfriend to this class for her birthday, she loved it! Nam was a great guy and so were his helpers, the venue was beautiful, a studio they had built and designed themselves, it's bright and very modern and artsy! We were given 3 balls of clay to experiment with, taught how to do the 3 main stages of pottery, the centering, opening and pulling stages, with support given along the way. We did so well that we kept 2 pieces at the end, very much appreciated Nam and team for the very fun lesson. He is so skilled, you'll be in awe just watching him as he teaches!

Nam and the team were very good at explaining different techniques and help in the process.

The pace of the course was just right to get enough time to practice each element. The way the lesson was structured and how things were explained were much better than I have had elsewhere.

I was amazed with the studio we were taken through everything step-by-step and Nam demonstrated the first round we were then given the opportunity to do everything on our own after. I was a little frustrated that I couldn’t get it right but after my 4th attempt practice makes perfect what a wonderful experience I will definitely be back thank you

Had a wonderful time.

Erol Candan Jul 2022


Nam was a great teacher, made the whole class feel very comfortable. His demonstrations were quick and succinct, allowing us to all learn by trial and error, correcting is if we ever strayed too far from good technique.

Definitely recommend this class or even the 5 week course for those who think they will really enjoy pottery making

Ellie Parker Jun 2022


I highly recommend attending this pottery making taster workshop! It is a class suitable for everyone whether you're a complete beginner, like myself, or have had previous experience creating pottery. My friend and I recently attended and didn't know what to expect as we hadn't done an activity like this before. We were greeted by friendly and engaging teachers who helped us throughout the session. Plus there are pugs too The price of the class is definitely worth it as you are given the opportunity to make more than one item and then if you choose to keep these items, they will be glazed and painted for you. From this class, I have gained a new skill and would definitely like to return and create more pottery! :)

What a great class! We were there as a family and joined a group of others for the class. We learnt how to make pots (or whatever we wanted!) on the wheel and by coiling. The teacher was amazing as were the others who were on hand to help out. The studio was light and airy and an inspiring place to spend time.

Ric Zhang Jun 2022


The teaching staff were so nice and helpful. They had 3 teachers for 10 of us, so we didn't have to wait to get support or advice on our work. The venue was really nice and clean. The founder and his dad rebuilt the place from scratch all by themselves during lockdown (impressive!). Student artwork was displayed all around the venue, and honestly, the pieces were so well executed, which showcases their talent as teachers.

Thomas Gardiner Jun 2022


We had a great time at this lesson! Nice chilled environment, very fun and an awesome teacher!

The equipment is great and they were generous with how much clay and how many pieces we could make.

The teacher (Nam) was very knowledgeable and conveyed it all very clearly. The assisting teachers (Susie and Amy) were super helpful and patient.

We spent most of the time on the wheel and finished the session with some hand building.

I’m having to of my pieces glazed to take home later, for a reasonable price.

Overall, it was a great experience: both educational and enjoyable. And I think the price is fair.

Me and my girlfriend had a lovely time! I have done pottery making before and actually had a poor experience and this was just brilliant. Super fun, well taught but mainly just want to shout out the vibe. Loved hearing the story of the studio. Can't recommend this enough.

Austen Conway Jun 2022


A great experience. My first ever go using clay to make anything.
The venue was nice, a good open space well lit.
Nam, our instructor, was first rate. Plenty of help on hand. Equipment and materials all to hand. A real sense of achievement to make a pot on the wheel. I would throughly recommend this experience.

Great two hours spent being totally immersed in hands on learning throw down pottery basics by an easy going, knowledgable and very encouraging tutor Nam. What a great and inspiring studio space. What a great and generous set up. Can’t wait to pick up my first ever glazed bowl.

Katie Angell Jun 2022


Really enjoyable introduction into pottery! Very helpful teacher, easy to get to location with lots of space. I liked a lot that we were straight onto the wheels instead of just doing coil pots. Example of the kind of thing we got to make below!

This class was fantastic! The teacher/assistant we’re all so helpful and really let you play around with your creations. Everyone had their own pottery wheel and there was enough time to make three on the wheel and one freehand. Absolutely loved the class, highly recommended if you want to try something different!

My experience at the taster pottery class was amazing. The studio was really cool and there was lots of space for the class to learn and try the new techniques. There was plenty of clay for everyone.
The teachers and assistants were really friendly and encouraging and made the whole experience fun and comfortable.
I would highly recommend and would love to go back again!

Very informative class which provided plenty of opportunity to practise skills and came away with a piece each.

Shelly Yanushpolsky May 2022


Great studio, price, teaching, atmosphere! Only downside is it's a bit far out, but worth it all in all.

Victoria Mears May 2022


Good value for money in a nice studio with friendly and clearly experienced instructors. This is a pretty challenging thing to get the hang of, and 2 hours was not really enough time to get the hang of things or learn from mistakes. Next time I think I'd book the longer 3hr session to give more time to experiment and learn. Overall we had a great time, and look forward to trying out the wheel again!

It was an amazing class, and the venue was stunning. All art pieces that have been made was on show and it was beautiful to look at.

Our instructor was amazing, he was patient with all of us and was able to guide us with ease. There was many chances to practice with.

All around an amazing experience and would highly recommend it, especially as a beginner.

Akvile Griksaite May 2022


*Read if you still can’t decide*

This pottery class was trully amazing and worth every ££!
I could not have asked for better 3 hours spent learning the craft.
The venue is a beautiful, spacious ceramic studio full of inspiration and great people!
Again, only good words about the main potter/teacher that showed us everything and there were others helping out during the process. The class was very informative and as a creative person that has tried multiple crafts myself I can tell, these people lead the class with big passion and they know the craft very well (I mean just look at their instagram).
I had 3 tries at throwing on the weel (made a vase and 2 bowls) and later we did dry clay sculpturing.

I loved it from the start to finish, my boyfriend loved it as much as I did and it was his first ever pottery experience. We had an amazing time and recommend to everyone 100%

Really fun to try throwing, the tutors were helpful and the instructions were clear and enabled everyone to make something to take home!

Jennifer Neumann May 2022


It was really amazing how many assistants there were to help, but I wish the instruction was clearer at the beginning. I didn’t understand the purpose of each step.

Carter Bowes May 2022


The teaching was great made it very easy and fun to learn, very generous with clay and so worth doing

Yaroslava Kravtsova Apr 2022


I booked it for 2 adults and a 12 year old, did not know what to expect from the class, BUT it definitely exceeded my expectation. The tutors were absolutely amazing, knowledge and skills they have is exceptional, always there if we needed help. I would absolutely definitely recommend to try it, it was fun experience.
The venue was easy to find not too far from the station. I like the fact that we didn't have to share the wheel, everyone had its own one.
Thank you for the unforgettable 2 hours :)))))

Anna Seidel Apr 2022


Had a great time here - lovely space, teachers were super helpful and very informative - lots of patience too for a complete beginner like myself! Enjoyed the creative freedom, a great 2 hour session :)

All teachers were super helpful and friendly. They really helped both myself and my partner at every step and we walked away wanting to book another session.

As a first time this was a really good experience and would recommend this to anyone.

Adria Reeves Apr 2022


We did the pottery making taster workshop for a work team event after our team quarterly meeting. This was an excellent workshop at just the right level for everyone. Nam is a fantastic instructor who made it feel relaxing, worthwhile and fun. I recommend this class to anyone who wants to try something different (or get back into it) and would even considering bringing my family down for a session! Very good value.

Anna Gnap Apr 2022


I think this class is a good introduction to pottery. A general introduction of techniques was given first and several (helpful!) instructors were available to students throughout. Can really recommend.

Shwetha Gurumurthy Apr 2022


Very useful workshop for a beginner. Since less people were there could get individual attention from staff. Staff were very friendly

Emma Bundu Apr 2022


Value of money, very helpful, super fun and amazing for beginners. I really enjoyed it and hope to do more classes.

Gillian Motte Mar 2022


What a lovely way to spend a Sunday! Instructors were fabulous, patient and knowledgable. Totally recommend.

Akshara Sivakumar Mar 2022


Absolutely loved the class - worth the price!
We have enough time to go through two different techniques and full attention of the teachers who were available at every step to guide us. We were allowed to play and be be creative with no restriction on how much clay we could use (compared to other pottery classes I've been to London).
The studio space is huge and lovely and I will definitely recommend Cernamics to anyone interested in pottery!

Sinead Molloy Mar 2022

Milena Franzi Mar 2022


The venue was really wonderful - it was a wide open space filled with beautiful ceramics and plants, which made for a great Sunday activity. It was very relaxing and helped to unplug from the world.

The teacher and all of the assistants were incredibly kind, helpful and friendly. The experience was worth every single penny!

Teodora Tapping Feb 2022


Loved the taster class - have always a wanted to try pottery and mainly do something with my hands (as opposed to always sending endless emails and pings). I’ll certainly be back for more.

Overall i had a lovely time. The only thing I would change is to have a smaller group of attendees. Some time it was quite hard to hear what the teacher was explaining.

Rohith Edayilveedu Jan 2022


I booked the class for my girlfriends birthday. The teachers were nice and friendly and very helpful for people with no prior experience in pottery.
All materials and equipments were provided so you can just show up there and get cracking on.
We did a three hour session for £50 per person. I guess if you want to get a generic experience and make a day out of it, it's well worth it.

Colette Brideson Jan 2022


Really fun, great teachers, made 3 pots in two hours! Studio has been done up really nicely with lots of plants.

Elizabeth Valleau Jan 2022


Wonderful teachers. So inspiring and fun! Planning to sign up for more Cernamics classes soon.

Nam and Suzie were great, the taught us and helped us throughout the 2 hours. We had 3 goes to throw and shape the clay,which was more than enough and gave you lots of learning opportunity. We also got to keep any items we wanted and have them glazed for £3. Overall I really fun and interesting class, very worth the great price and I'd love to attend again.

They didn’t waste time by talking a lot and let us get stuck straight in with the pottery, guiding us as the class went on. Well worth the money, and will be looking to take their classes again, thanks guys!

Thomas Wilson-Leonard Sep 2021


The female teacher was great, a little quiet, would be better if she could project her voice more in class. But she was so lovely, and taught me so much in such a short period. The other guy teacher, he was awesome and very helpful.

I had such a great day and am inspired to do more pottery, I will come back again
