2 hours Location Earlsfield Class size 2 to 4 guests   £65

In this pottery taster workshop in South West London, you will be taught the techniques of pinching, coiling and slab-building. Through expert demonstration and personalised guidance, you will be supported to create a mug and bowl set. This immersive workshop will give you an authentic experience of learning the craft of pottery in a fully creative and supportive environment. To complete your works, you will choose your own colour scheme from a selection of the studio’s glazes.
All levels of ability are welcome. This workshop is a great introduction to hand-building while also giving students with more experience opportunities to build on their existing skills. The session is suitable for adults of 18 years and above.
What you'll get
All materials and tools to make two ceramic pots that can be collected from the studio 4 weeks after the workshop.
You will be taught in Rachel Cox’s modern studio with the latest ceramic tools and equipment in a small group of up to 4 students. Small groups ensure greater individual focus from your teacher and higher levels of student and teacher group engagement. You will have access to a range of clays, slips and glazes and an apron will be provided. Your pottery will be fired twice in an electric kiln up to temperatures of 1260 degrees. There is a bike lock up and private parking onsite available to students.

  • 5/5 from Lydia Antoniou, attended Sep 2026: Fun and informative session. Rachel was a great teacher and helped us along.....all you need, provided...Going there with zero experience of pottery before, and now i created something i can use !! ..the pottery wheel was the most exciting and .if i can do it, you certainly can!! Fun activity to do with a lovely friend too
  • 5/5 from Elio Gospodinova, attended Aug 2026: The most fun ever! We had such a lovely time at the pottery class! Rachel was absolutely wonderful — so friendly, helpful and attentive throughout the whole session. We made a mug and bowl set, and for a beginners’ class, it was such a fun and relaxed experience. Rachel paid so much attention to us and was always there to help and guide us when we needed it, while still letting us be creative and enjoy the process. We left feeling so proud of what we made! Would 100% recommend this class — such a fun experience and definitely something I’d love to do again!
  • 5/5 from Lin McGarry, attended Sep 2024: This was a wonderful session. Did a mum and daughter morning and it was very enjoyable. We made a bowl and a mug or a plant holder and both came out ok - felt like we’d achieved something! Rachel is a patient, kind and very experienced teacher.
