Our aim is to help individuals to connect with each other, develop a new passion, for families to learn together with their children and enjoy some mental respite.

Vinicius is a London based ceramics artist and painter. He learned the skills of pottery and ceramics from a very young age in his father's studio. Having completed higher educational studies in both Ceramics and Fine Art-Painting, Vinicius embarked on a 10-year journey in London, creating and teaching what he loves and has a passion for: pottery and ceramics.

Working with various organisations, Vinicius has formed a strong interest and skill in teaching individuals of all abilities including individuals with physical or/and learning disabilities or difficulties by helping them find their voice through pottery and art.

I really love this class. It was taught very well and made it very enjoyable. I’ve happy with what I’ve done for a first class.

Knowledgable and friendly teacher who guides step by step to help you get a taste of what its like to make pottery on a wheel.
Also helps make something to take home and remember the day.

Three of us attended the taster class for a birthday celebration. Vini was an amazing teacher. Everything was so well organised and he explained the process really carefully, with demonstrations. We had plenty of time to practise and enjoy using the wheel. We each came away with pots we felt proud of! Thanks again Vini for a fabulous afternoon. Would highly recommend going.

I recently spent a really enjoyable day doing the Colour and Clay one day wheel pottery course, and couldn’t recommend it highly enough if you’re looking for a gentle introduction to this area. Vinicius is incredibly friendly and has a great teaching style which enabled me to achieve loads more than I thought I could in such a short space of time. The studio is light and airy, and the perfect place for learning something new. I can’t wait to get back there in a few weeks to see how everything looks after it’s been glazed and fired! Thanks again!

My girlfriend and I came here for our anniversary, for the wheel throwing taster class. It was just us for the class, and the experience was even more fantastic than we had hoped. Vinicius was so passionate, and might be one of the most genuine and kind people I've ever met. He inspired us throughout the session, and made it one of the best dates we've had. We created a variety of pots, and learnt about the entire process. It was mesmerising to watch him spin as a demo, before helping us. I could not recommend Colour and Clay enough.

Teacher greeted us with coffee and tea and an amazing smile! We got straight into the lesson and all materials were provided for us! He took his time in explaining each step and had a hands on approach when assisting us which was helpful. Our pots came out amazing for first timers. Would definitely recommend

We had a wonderful class experience. We had the session to ourselves and our teacher gave really thorough demonstrations and answered all our questions along the way. We had lots of time to practice using the wheel and each made a few items. We were delighted with the class and it exceeded our expectations. The teacher was so calm and knowledgeable. I would be happy to attend again!

I booked Vinis workshop for my children's (young adults) birthday and they had a wonderful time. Vini was very helpful with organising the workshop and explaining what was involved and the theory behind each step. My children said the has was friendly and explained everything meticulously, and he was very generous with his time. He made the experience very enjoyable, informative and relaxing. Vini is clearly an expert in pottery and I would recommend anyone regardless of experience to give this a go. Thanks Vini

The session was great fun and the teacher was helpful and friendly. We are booking on for more!

It was a great session! I learnt so much about clay and the way in which we should preserve it and also how to prep it!
I got to create my own small masterpieces, using the wheel and overall had a great time.
It was worth the time and effort!

Vinicius our tutor for the day was so patient and humorous which made the experience one we will always cherish and definitely by all means have to return for an extra class or two in the near future.
