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.
@ BrewDog Paddington on Saturday 6th December 2025
Roll up your sleeves and get creative at BrewDog Paddington's festive Clay & Craft Beer Night. In the cosy Beer School Room, you'll shape and paint your own clay creations while sipping some of BrewDog's finest brews, from draught headliners to prosecco or alcohol-free options.
The session is split into three relaxed stages: sculpting your masterpiece, a quick bake (and beer top-up), and painting the finishing touches. Perfect for beginners, couples, or small groups, this is a chilled, social, and utterly creative evening.
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.
