More than just an item on your mum's retirement bucket list,
pottery workshops are having a real moment in the capital and are
something
really fun to do. From BYOB sessions where you can whet your
whistle before you hit the wheel, to kinky moulding sessions and
twee mug-making workshops, we've rounded up our top picks for fun
pottery classes in London that will take you from a slab of clay to
ceramics that slay.
Though they may be better known for their painting sessions, Paintvine are also a great choice for pottery, thanks to their relaxed sculpt and sip events. These take place across venues in Mayfair, Brixton and beyond, promising two hours of step-by-step guidance on painting, air drying and sculpting your masterpiece - all for £32 per person.
The Purple Owl is a super fun place to be any day of the week. Part pub, part cafe, part creative space, it's built for slowing down over a coffee, a pint or a canvas.
By day, its bright and airy art studio hosts all kinds of craft sessions from pottery painting to air-dry and kiln dry clay moulding. Classes run every 30 minutes throughout the day and start from just £10.
