Looking to try your hand at pottery? Look no further than this beginner-friendly wheel throwing class in London. In this workshop, you'll learn all the essential skills needed to create stunning ceramics on the pottery wheel. Our expert teacher Amanda will guide you through a simple step-by-step process, ensuring you feel supported throughout the class.
Don't worry if you've never tried wheel throwing before. This taster class is designed for beginners, and our small class sizes of up to six students ensure you'll receive plenty of individual attention.
Now, let's explore your options:
Craft: Make a pot - With air-dry clay, you can take your pots home right away. Once dry, you can paint them at your own pace and proudly display them in your home. Please note, these pots are not suitable for food or drink, but they make for beautiful decorations. The painting process will be explained at the end of the workshop.
Art: Make, paint & fire a pot -After making your pot, we will keep it safe for you for up to 3-months. Your pot will need at least 1 week to dry then you'll be invited to join a 1.5-hour painting workshop. These typically take place on Tues evenings and Sat mornings. After painting, we will fire your pot twice in our kiln over an 18-hour period, reaching temperatures of up to 1220 degrees, a process that typically takes 2-3 weeks. Once fired again you'll have up to 3-months to collect your masterpiece in person or opt for delivery (please note there is an extra charge for delivery). These fired pots are food-safe and can be safely used in both the oven and dishwasher.
Whether you choose the art or craft option, this pottery-making workshop offers a fun and creative activity for all. Not only will you leave with your gorgeous handmade pot, but you'll also gain new skills and experiences. It's a perfect activity to enjoy in London, whether you're looking for something fun to do or searching for a unique gift.
