Let your child enjoy a wonderfully fun pottery wheel class at our Pottery Studio LDN in North Greenwich. This 1.5-hour workshop is the perfect activity for kids to get hands-on with the exciting craft of clay.
Designed for children aged 9–14 years, this engaging class teaches young potters how to shape, mould, and create beautiful pottery using a real pottery wheel. Our friendly, experienced instructors will guide your child through all the basics of wheel throwing – from centering the clay to forming bowls, cups, and other creative shapes. We provide a fun, safe, and supportive environment with small classes to ensure plenty of encouragement and hands-on instruction.
Please note that an adult must accompany children at all times during the session.
This workshop includes:
  • Step-by-step instruction on how to use the pottery wheel
  • All the clay, tools, glazes, and kiln firing
  • Your child's favourite pot, fired and glazed, with any extra pots available to keep for £5 each
The finished pottery pieces will be ready to collect in up to 6 weeks
This class is a fantastic way for your child to gain confidence and improve their motor skills. They will leave feeling a brilliant sense of achievement, and soon you'll have a unique ceramic piece they’ll be proud to display at home. This experience will truly nurture their creative spirit.

FAQ

What shall I wear?
Pottery making is messy - especially on the wheel. Please wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. If you like you can bring your own apron, however we also have some in the studio. If you can bear it, please trim your nails, otherwise long nails will get in the way and mark the clay.
How long until I get my completed pottery back?
It could take up to 6 weeks after your class for your pottery to be ready for collection. This is because it needs to dry completely for at least one week, go in for its first firing, then glazed and fired again.

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.
Pottery Studio LDN 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 Pottery Studio LDN is proud to be part of the community!
