art bar in london
Three steps, no booking
Arts and crafts aren't just for kids. Art Play runs arts and crafts for grown-ups in London: painting, pottery, jewellery and craft workshops for adults who want to make something with their hands. Classes are beginner-friendly, materials are included and both studios have a bar.
Arts and crafts for adults, by type
1. Painting: Sip & Paint (£38), acrylic pouring (£55) and unguided FreeFlow from £16.
2. Clay: hand-building pottery (£32) and a wheel throwing taster (£55).
3. Jewellery: silver ring making (£60) and silver clay pendants (£75), ages 16+.
4. Crafts: candle making, terrarium making and mosaics, £50 each.
5. Print and customise: lino printing (£38) and custom trainer painting (£60).
You don't need to have done any of this before. Guided workshops are led step by step, and nobody is marking the result. Come with friends, on a date or on your own.

Why adults are taking up crafts again
Making something with your hands is absorbing in a way screens aren't. A couple of hours of painting or clay gives you a break from your phone and a finished piece to show for it. It's also a good way to wind down after work.
Arts and crafts classes for beginners
If you haven't done anything creative since school, start with a guided class. Sip & Paint, candle making and hand-building pottery are all designed for first-timers. If you'd like to build a skill, the three-week watercolour course is the next step.
Crafts for groups and occasions
Arts and crafts work for hen parties, birthdays and team days because everyone can join in. Private workshops run for groups of 8 or more at our Shoreditch and Chelsea studios. Both studios can be hired for larger events.
