Children's Half-term Hand-building Workshop

A great pottery wheel class for children aged 9-14 years old.



5+ years & Adults     2 hours Class size 2 to 4 guests       £40

Get creative with clay together in this family-friendly pottery workshop at our modern, airy studio in London's Design District by the O2. You and your little one will hand-build your creations side by side – whether that's pinch pots, trinket dishes, small bowls, or animal sculptures – guided by an experienced instructor who'll show you different techniques and help you bring your ideas to life. It's a relaxed session where exploration and play are absolutely welcome, with expert support on hand whenever you need it.
Once you've finished making, you'll give your creations a blast with the dryers, then move on to the fun bit – painting them to bring them to life with colour and personality. There's something truly special about watching your child's face light up as their clay creation transforms into a finished, painted piece they've made themselves. You'll work collaboratively to plan projects, discuss ideas, and see them come together – creating something tangible you can both be proud of.
You'll leave with painted pottery you've made together and, more importantly, lasting memories of an afternoon spent creating, laughing, and connecting without screens or distractions. It's a wonderful way to spend time as a family, exploring creativity at your own pace in a warm, welcoming space.
Please note: children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. The workshop is suitable for ages 5 and above. If you'd like to make your own creation alongside your child, you'll need to book a separate space for yourself.
What you'll get
All materials, apron and the glazing and firing of your best pot.

  • 5/5 from Sonia J Case, attended Jul 2026: Nori taught 2 more of my granddaughters and was just as patient and kind as before which meant a 6 year old and a 13 year old could both be creative and successful.
  • 5/5 from Helen Grayer, attended Jul 2026: My children and I had an amazing time! The kids learned a lot and the teacher was very patient with them offering advice and slowing down instructions. We will definitely be back! Thank you again! 5️
  • 5/5 from Sonia J Case, attended May 2026: We had a brilliant time and Nori was a fantastic teacher. Patient and encouraging. Will definitely book again
  • 5/5 from Elitsa Dimitrova, attended May 2026: My niece and I had a wonderful experience hand-building bowls with clay and painting them afterwards. We had a private class with Maritza Masiello in her Pottery Studio LDN. The North Greenwich studio is bright and spacious, tidy and clean. Maritza communicates in a genuinely kind way and readily offers ideas, technique tips and her knowledge and experience. We were guided but free to choose. This was a truly creative time. Highly recommend!

Our modern pottery studio in the heart of London’s Design District in Greenwich welcomes both newcomers and experienced potters, ensuring there is a blend of fresh perspectives and seasoned wisdom. Whether you want to try out the pottery wheel, make your own designs using hand building techniques or attend a pottery painting session, there is something for everyone.
Good Pottery is the second studio by founder, Maritza Masiello.
Following the opening of her first studio in nearby Lee, SE London, she was overwhelmed by the growing pottery community. As demand grew, it was clear there was a need for a second studio. Maritza wanted to find a space which could hold more pottery courses and workshops for beginners and memberships for more experienced potters, as well as a dedicated space for group pottery painting events.
The Design District offers the perfect destination for this new direction, a home for inspiring creatives, and Good Pottery is proud to be part of the community!
