In our introductory pottery workshop, you'll learn the art of 'throwing' - the practice of creating pottery on a wheel. You'll master essential skills like wedging (preparing the clay), centring (securing the clay on the wheel), and throwing (shaping the clay into a cylinder). By the end of the class, you'll have created multiple pots, with the opportunity to select one for glazing and firing, ready for collection in 3-4 weeks.
No need to worry even if you've never touched clay before! Our expert tutors will guide you through each step, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident at the wheel. This hands-on activity is perfect for beginners and designed to put you at ease as you explore this ancient craft.
This workshop offers a truly uplifting and inspiring experience. As you learn how to coax the clay into various forms, you'll discover a new avenue for creative expression. The joy of throwing, coupled with the warm, social atmosphere, makes for a memorable and enriching day. Whether you come alone or with friends, you'll leave with not only a handmade pot but also a newfound appreciation for the craft and, perhaps, a budding passion for pottery.

At the heart of Studio Pottery London is the desire to form a community around a shared ethos and love of pottery in all its forms.
This traditional craft provides a counterbalance to the hyperactive, mechanised, and technologically saturated metropolis. The hands-on practice of throwing opens dormant creativity and encourages therapeutic transformation.
Engaging with clay, the practitioner slows down, assimilating technique and mastering knowledge through careful repetition. It is a holistic, gradual and joyous experience, connecting the potter to a living history of human making. Our lineage flows directly from Bernard Leach and the 20th Century revival of studio pottery – enshrined in our name.
The first dedicated open-access members studio in Central London, Studio Pottery London is run by a team of talented ceramic artists who learned their craft at prestigious institutions such as The Royal College of Art, University of the Arts London and Central St Martins.
