In this engaging wheel throwing class in London, you'll learn the basics of making your pots from scratch on the potter's wheel. It will begin with a brief demonstration so you can familiarise yourself with the process. You'll take turns trying out your new skills on the wheel with the teacher's guidance. Me-time between pottery attempts will provide some rest, so soak up the experience. The longer class duration of two and a half hours will give you the time to perfect your ceramic pieces. By the end of this activity, you'll leave with two finished pots that you can claim in about three to four weeks. You can even make a third pot, however, a £10. surcharge is made to each extra pot.Don't fret if you're new to pottery, as this class offers a relaxed and supportive environment ideal for beginners. During the class, you'll be encouraged to ask questions and refine your skills. The teacher will be there to offer guidance and help you make the most out of your time at the wheel. You'll be surprised at just how therapeutic and enjoyable this activity can be. All in all, it'll be a fun and creative way to spend an afternoon in London.As your final reward for your efforts, you will take home a pair of glazed pots that will feel like unique masterpieces that you've crafted from scratch.

Recent reviews of Wheel Throwing Pottery Workshop
5/5 from Soy Kim, attended Oct 2026: I had such a great time at Patrick’s workshop! It was my first time, but Patrick was so knowledgeable and explained everything really clearly. I learnt so much, had lots of fun, and was pleasantly surprised with how well my pottery turned out! Such a lovely experience, and I’ll definitely be going again. Highly recommend!
5/5 from Lauren Hill, attended Sep 2026: We had such a fantastic time at our private wheel throwing class! My husband and I had never done anything like this before, but Patrick was a brilliant teacher — incredibly knowledgeable, approachable and patient throughout. We learned so much, had lots of fun and managed to create far more than we expected! Patrick made the whole experience really enjoyable and relaxed, while still teaching us plenty of new skills. We can’t wait to see the finished pieces and are already looking forward to trying pottery again. Would highly recommend the class to anyone looking for a fun and memorable experience!
5/5 from Isabella Lorusso, attended Aug 2026: Thank you for the class! It was amazing and I learned so much ️
5/5 from Andrea Atkins, attended Aug 2026: Such a welcome to the space - made to feel very comfortable from the start. Patrick was very knowledgeable and took time to explain details and reasons why things are done in a certain way. He made sure that I felt confident and ended up with pieces I could feel proud of. Thoroughly enjoyed myself, would highly recommend the session and am really looking forward to collecting my pottery soon!
5/5 from Joshua Guess, attended Jul 2026: Fantastic class! Having the class be just myself and my girlfriend we got really stuck in and Patrick guided us the whole way and made it a fun experience! Would definitely recommend if you go as a pair; can’t wait to collect our glazed pots when they’re ready!
5/5 from Sarah Holliday, attended Jul 2026: Fantastic enthusiastic teacher who guided us through the basics of pottery throwing and how our pots would be glazed and fired after we left. Learnt a large amount about pottery and its production. Lovely calm and relaxed atmosphere. We made five varied pots each and then chose two to be fired and glazed and collected at a later date.
5/5 from Joe Long, attended Jul 2026: We had a fantastic evening. Patrick was so lovely and incredibly knowledgeable. We learned a lot! Would definitely recommend.
5/5 from Viviana Membrini, attended Jun 2026: My husband and I had a wonderful time at this pottery class, and we couldn't recommend it more highly. Patrick is an exceptional teacher, clear, patient, and genuinely passionate about his craft. His practical demonstrations were impressive, and his technical explanations made the whole process feel approachable even for complete beginners. Whenever we struggled, he was right there with calm, precise guidance that actually made a difference. Wheel pottery is deceptively difficult, but thanks to Patrick's instruction we both managed to produce results we're genuinely proud of. Beyond the technique itself, there's something almost meditative about working with clay on the wheel, we both left feeling relaxed and surprisingly accomplished. We're now eagerly waiting to see our finished pieces! If you're looking for a creative, hands-on experience with a brilliant instructor, look no further.
5/5 from Andie Green, attended Jun 2026: Really enjoyed the class, Patrick is very knowledgeable and patient! Learnt so much and made some lovely pots.
5/5 from Jacqui Knaggs, attended May 2026: The class with Patrick was perfection! Patrick treated the two 10 year olds with professional expectations and they rose to the challenge! (A wheel challenge as my granddaughter punned!) It was a relaxed, calm, fun two and a half hours that flew by. Patrick put them at their ease from the start and by the end they had aquired several pots each and great new skills. He started with a lot of hands on guidance but gradually allowed more independence and experimentation. A total success as far as we were concerned - and Patrick seemed to enjoy it too!!
5/5 from Jon Shepherd, attended May 2026: Great experience, Patrick's passion and guidance made this a session to remember and has given me the urge to do more. Thanks!
5/5 from Paniz Gederi, attended May 2026: Brilliant class, great teacher. Patrick was generous with his time and we’re going away with 4 glazed bowls!
5/5 from Anna, attended May 2026: The class was brilliant. Patrick not only shares his experience in the craft, but also years of knowledge about pottery with relentless passion for the art. Patrick was positive and encouraging which helped me build on my confidence, in a lovely atmosphere with sunshine coming through the window and relaxing music. I got to make a pot and a bowl which I will pick up once they have been fired in the kiln. I had a great time and I will come back again and recommend the class to friends.
5/5 from Georgia Carter, attended May 2026: Patrick is a fantastic teacher, so knowledgable and patient. I got a gift voucher for the experience for Christmas, it’s something I’ve wanted to try for a long time. The session exceeded all expectations, I was so impressed with the quality of the instruction and the amount of time we each had on the wheel. I am so looking forward to seeing how our pieces turn out. I would definitely recommend the class, I would even do it again myself given the chance!

5/5 from Galit Alkhazova, attended Mar 2026: We had a private pottery class with Patrick Nash, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. It was our very first pottery class, and Patrick explained everything so clearly and patiently that we felt comfortable and confident throughout.

We truly loved the class and would definitely come back again. Highly recommended!

5/5 from Calley-Wnn Nixon, attended Mar 2026: Thank you so much for such a wonderful class, we booked it for Mother’s Day as a family of four and it was perfect, we had the best time.

5/5 from Lianne Dowie, attended Mar 2026: The workshop with Patrick was fantastic! He was incredibly friendly and approachable, and his knowledge really showed in the way he explained each step so clearly. He made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable, especially for complete beginners. It was a great introduction to working on the wheel, and we learned so much in a short time. We’re already looking forward to picking up our masterpieces in a few weeks! Highly recommended.
5/5 from Caroline Valdez, attended Mar 2026: I had a wonderful throwing session with Patrick. Since no one else booked in, I had an individual lesson which Patrick kindly accommodated. He was very informative and made sure I followed proper technique. I was so pleased with my resulting pots. I would highly recommend Patrick’s class.
5/5 from Elizabeth Scalzo, attended Feb 2026: We went as a Christmas treat mother and daughter and Patrick made us feel very welcome. Talking us through every aspect and technique. Giving us a little talk on the history and certain artists was interesting. Time just flew by. A lovely experience I would recommend to anyone I’m totally chilled
5/5 from Mary Tregunna, attended Feb 2026: Had such a fantastic experience. Patrick was patient and knowledgeable. Can't wait to pick up my final pieces.
5/5 from Laura Dent, attended Feb 2026: A great class! So good to only be in a class with 2 and Patrick’s full attention. Super fun and we learnt so much. The time flew by!
5/5 from Andrew Petch, attended Feb 2026: I had a brilliant time at Patrick’s pottery class. He was friendly, patient, and explained everything in a really clear and encouraging way. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and I came away having learned new skills and feeling proud of what I made. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to try pottery, whether you’re a complete beginner or have some experience.
5/5 from Davide Parisi, attended Feb 2026: The pottery class was absolutely beautiful! The atmosphere was calm and inspiring, and the teacher was amazing - patient, clear, and so supportive while we learned to use the wheel. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a creative and relaxing experience.
5/5 from Julia Scott, attended Feb 2026: My lovely friend bought the class for me as a birthday present and what a brilliant present it was! What we hadn't appreciated was that Patrick only teaches 2 students at a time... slightly more if they know each other... but this meant that we had one to one tuition which makes the price for a 2.5 hour session very good value. Patrick is extremely welcoming and has a wealth of knowledge to draw upon. We got to take 2 pots home which he takes the trouble to glaze and fire after the class. We had a go in turn with Patrick's guidance and then he let us loose on a pot we made together at the end. I would highly recommend this class.
5/5 from Melanie Warren, attended Feb 2026: I booked the pottery throwing class to learn something new. The class is held within Wimbledon art studios so it’s the perfect creative setting. Patrick is very knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. He was great at talking through the theory which was helpful when it came to putting it into practice. I would highly recommend booking solo or with a friend- perfect for learning something from someone who really knows his stuff. Can’t wait to pick up my pots.
5/5 from Tammi, attended Jan 2026: I would really recommend this class. Patrick is a great teacher, very thorough and helpful. We had so much fun. Thank you :)
5/5 from Katrina Forsyth, attended Jan 2026: Patrick was extremely skilled. Very patient, and working with only two students total was perfect to ensure maximum time on the wheel and engagement. I will definitely take this up going forward and am so happy with the products made, thank you!
5/5 from Anna Stephens, attended Jan 2026: We really enjoyed our lesson! Great to get such dedicated time from Patrick. I came away feeling like I’d definitely learnt some techniques from being a total novice! Highly recommend the lessons Thanks Patrick!
5/5 from Miss Claudia Pacheco Rodon, attended Jan 2026: This class was a complete and marvellous surprise. To start with it was only 2 students therefore full attention from the teacher, very hands on and every opportunity to ask questions. Patrick is not only very knowledgeable but so nice to talk to and he does like talking!. He's also better good at explaining things in a clear way. Really loved the whole experience.
5/5 from Deborah Meyer, attended Jan 2026: My husband and I finally got around to using our gift voucher - and so glad we picked Patrick's excellent Wheel Throwing Pottery Workshop! From the initial booking until the end of the class Patrick proved to be an enthusiastic and engaging communicator and educator and a true master of his craft. The class was well structured with lots of hands-on work including some 'free work' time at the end to create what we liked! The class was very practical, with some essential history and anecdotes from his long career for context. Above all, it was hugely enjoyable and we got some pretty respectable pots to take home at the end - if they survive the kiln. All in all, a very enjoyable experience and one we highly recommend! Thank you!
5/5 from Kerry Poland, attended Jan 2026: All communication great Patrick was a fantastic teacher he was very friendly and explained everything very well. We had a great time and I would highly recommend.

5/5 from Ryan Singleton, attended Dec 2025: Teacher-informative, gave some brief history of pottery which me and my mum both enjoyed, the class itself was fantastic, very hands on, very involved and we created some brilliant pieces of work. Loved every minute of it and so did my mum, definitely will be going back(I think I speak for both of us), no pressure environment, easy access. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

5/5 from Gillian Jones, attended Sep 2025: My daughter and I had a lovely morning at Patrick's pottery workshop. He was very patient and helped/ guided us though the process of making some pots and bowls. He never left us on our own, just to get on with it, he was always their.. All together, we made 5 pieces each. Forgot to take any photos, we were just too busy....
5/5 from Rosie Newbold, attended Aug 2025: I had such a wonderful experience at the pottery wheel throwing class! Patrick was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, which made the whole process much less intimidating. He explained the technique clearly and gave me plenty of personal guidance throughout the session. I got to make several pieces on the wheel, which was so much fun, and it’s great being able to keep two of them.
5/5 from Alex Papadopoulos Korfiatis, attended Aug 2025: Great class! Good combination of hand-holding and letting us try things out, thanks a lot Patrick! Looking forward to seeing our glazed pieces.
I studied ceramics at Epsom School of Art and Design back in the seventies and have since had various studios and worked in a pottery department teaching and as a technician. I also give classes in my present studio. These are for potting on the potters wheel and for hand building techniques. My own work is mainly decorative and functional using various techniques for making and for decoration.My passion for pottery is not only for making but also for teaching and the enjoyment people get from making pottery.
