Arts and Crafts Experience Days: Learn the basics of pottery with this introductory 90-minute session in London! Unwind as you feel the therapeutic benefits of this unique artistic medium, and create your pottery under expert guidance from your tutor. This class is BYOB, so maybe you’ll even be tempted to enjoy a cold beer while you throw your pottery!

Your session will begin when you meet your tutor, Italian potter Davide, at the studio in South West London. You’ll be in safe hands with Davide, who has years of experience under his belt, in a variety of different creative disciplines. Firstly, Davide will take you through the basics of hand-building and throwing on the pottery wheel. Next, it’s time to get messy! Marvel as the clay turns into a beautiful piece of art under the turn of your hands, and enjoy a physical, fun and messy 90 minutes of creativity! Finally, your creation will be air dried only (not waterproofed), ready for you to take home. Alternatively, you can choose to fire and glaze your masterpiece, or leave it for the experts to do. It would cost just £10* per item to do this, and you'll need to arrange collection in 2 weeks' time. Reap the benefits of your own creativity, and display your handmade pottery proudly in your home, or give it away as a gift.

This is a great idea for a day out with friends, and is the ideal experience gift for the creative type in your life who loves to try new things.

After much postponing and changing of experience (on my side) the Experience Days team were great in accommodating and the experience itself was great fun, well run and very fulfilling.

Questions about London Introduction To Pottery Class

Are you able to provide me with details about where this class is located?

The postcode to the pottery experience is SW6 5SA

When do these pottery classes run?

This pottery class runs year-round subject to availability, and workshops usually begin at 5pm. 

During the 90 min session you will be given wheel and clay to make your own pot? How many wheels are there in per class? How many people in a class?

The classes can vary from anywhere between 4 and 20 people. They currently have 10 wheels, so larger groups would need to share wheels, and the instructor assures me that these are always the most fun lessons!

I was wondering where specifically in London this takes place?

The pottery in London is on Mill Street, London, SE1

I would like to gift this experience to a friend and her daughter (she is 10yrs old). Is there any age limit?

That would be fine as the minimum age is 5 years old

After buying this, do I have to book a class ahead of time or can I just drop in?

You will need to book ahead during the redemption process of the voucher.

Please can you advise if you have onsite parking.

Parking is mostly paid parking and residential, however there is a parking complex located on Gainsford Street which is 10 minute walk from the studio.

If I leave it to the experts to fire and glaze, how and when do I get my creation from the Introduction to Pottery in London?

Customers can arrange to pick it up two weeks after the experience day. This is arranged by appointment only.
