Imagine fulfilling a shared dream together – creating art from clay on a romantic date. If you've ever fantasised about the allure of pottery, this enchanting introduction in the heart of London offers the perfect chance.

In two delightful hours, you'll immerse yourselves in the world of pottery, discovering the secrets of clay and uncovering the magic of various pottery tools. You'll master the delicate art of shaping a simple, elegant cylinder on the potter's wheel.

This exclusive experience is not just about creativity. It's about the joy of shared discovery. You'll have the opportunity to feel the exhilaration of working on the potter's wheel, all while learning essential techniques hand in hand. It's the ideal beginning to your journey into ceramics and sets the stage for future adventures.

All the materials you need for our artistic endeavour will be waiting for you, and our friendly instructor will be your trusted companion throughout, sharing invaluable advice and nurturing your soul.

If you can spare an additional hour or two, you can even decorate your creations at once, with the convenience of picking them up later. For those with busy schedules, you can arrange a follow-up session with Mihaly for decorating and glazing. And the best part? The cost of £60 covers the entire
experience, ensuring you have everything you need to embark on this pottery adventure.

For an enhanced dating experience, consider enjoying a meal of our delectable Hungarian cuisine right here. As a special treat, you both will receive a complimentary glass of wine to accompany your meal.

We aim to ensure that every participant has a unique time in the class, so this class does not have public sessions, only private ones. To secure your spot, kindly inquire about reserving a private session.

My name is Mihaly Herczeg and I am an entrepreneur, maker, who likes experiments and challenges at the same time. I fell in love with clay, especially with porcelain when I started to learn throwing.
After years of practicing and playing, I designed and made all of the tableware in my restaurant, at The Rosemary. Throwing is like being in your self-made world. I realised that many people would like to have this experience with the clay. I have started to teach during the pandemic and I enjoyed that as much as the throwing itself.
I can offer a taster session or a beginner course, which includes 4lessons and takes you through making basic shapes, finishing, glazing and firing too. My classes are different than others because is a small class with max. 7 people and I can give you all the help, tips, correcting mistakes, what I made before (for example: breathing well is crucial at throwing). Also, if you sign up for any of my classes, you will be a part of the thrower students online hub, which can help you to be motivated, inspired and following each other progress.

As both a teacher and studio owner, it's crucial for me to provide young pottery artists with opportunities to gain practical teaching experience. That's why, in January, I welcomed Jago Rushton, a Cornish Ceramic Designer studying at Central Saint Martins School of Art, to join my studio. Inspired by Moroccan geometry and ancient Roman and Greek pottery, Jago brings a contemporary flair to his work. His passion lies in sharing his skills and nurturing others' appreciation for this remarkable art form.
