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.

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!)

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!

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!

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.

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.

Elie Disso Nov 2023


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

Siobhán Bradshaw Nov 2023


We had the best afternoon and would recommend this activity to everyone! The studio was gorgeous and the teachers were very skilled and knowledgeable. Thanks for a great day!

Craig Lefcovitch Nov 2023

Great intro session to pottery! It was something we had wanted to try for ages and this class provided the perfect way for us to do so. The instructors were very clear and helpful. At no point did we feel rushed, and they were always around to help and answer questions. Would recommend to anyone!

Stella Nga Yan Choi Nov 2023


Brilliant fun! Very helpful and good teachers, guided us through every step of the process. Definitely recommend giving it a go!

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.

Alan Nov 2023


Had a great time, got great help and support from the staff too. Overall enjoyable and memorable experience, thanks!

Amazing time. We created lasting memories and slightly wonky but characterful pots. Christoph was great and very patient

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.

Jacob Oct 2023


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!

Charlotte Corbo Oct 2023


Highly recommend this class. Nam and team were super friendly, patient and were very clear, helpful teachers. If you are looking to try out pottery this is the class to do 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! Really enjoyed the session. Rosa was our teacher for the 2 hour taster session and I can’t fault her even for the slightest- she was attentive, really helpful, straight to the point, easy to understand and follow along to. 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.

The class was incredible! Nam was an amazing instructor.

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)!

Drilon Agolli Jul 2023


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


The class was really fun and the teacher very helpful with loads of guidelines. All staff was really friendly and polite and also agreed to make a handle for one my clays with no extra charge

Brian Fields Jul 2023


Really enjoyed the class. Great fun with lovely teachers in a really comfortable space. Would highly recommend!

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!

Monika Krolikowaki Jun 2023


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.

Michelle Merriman Jun 2023


This was a great intro to pottery. Our instructor was knowledgeable and engaging. Great facilities and equipment. I took my two tweens for a creative experience and they loved it.

We had an amazing evening at the 2 hour taster session.
Our teachers Nam and Cherry were brilliant.
We'll definitely be back and 100% recommend the class!

Dad Jun 2023


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!

Daniel Thompson Jun 2023


The teacher Nam was very knowledgeable and had a great teaching style. The members of the workshop were kind and helpful. It’s a lovely workshop with all tools needed. Had a great time can’t wait to collect what we created!

Seun Debiyi Jun 2023

Great ceramic studio and lovely teachers. A lot of techniques were clearly explained and practised during the workshop.

Judit Csere Jun 2023


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.

Jess Xiao Jun 2023


We absolutely loved this class! The space is gorgeous and the instructor & tutors were great at explaining the process as well as helping us with foundations. Would definitely come back for more classes :)

Alba Piza Jun 2023


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 would definitely go back again. ☺️ #classbento & #cbcomp

Imogen Ward Jun 2023


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!

Piotr Szkuta Jun 2023


Everything was perfect from the beginning till the very end. The teacher was very helpful and showed us how to start and walk through the entire process. We had a couple of goes and each was briefly assessed and corrected. I loved the experience and recommend it to anyone who loves trying something new!

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

Suzanne Eyi May 2023


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!

The venue was amazing with lots of inspiring pottery littered around for us to look at as we we entered the studio. The session was a lot of fun and the instructors were really patient and helpful considering it was our first ever pottery class. Meg in particular was kind and attentive, even helping teach me how to make my very own ramen bowl! I would highly recommend this class to any beginners

Nam and the team at ceramic were so lovely and all incredible teachers, making it look so easy! We all had so much fun and are already talking about going again! Great value for money, we all had 3 pieces by the end that we all decided to take home too. Looking forward to getting them from the kiln in a few weeks. Cannot recommend this class enough!

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

Will Currie May 2023


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

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!

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!

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

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.

Absolutely loved the pieces we made and am really looking forward to picking them up once they’ve been glazed. Highly recommend!
