Pottery classes near Spitalfields
If you'd like more than painting, our Shoreditch studio runs guided pottery. Hand-building is a relaxed class where you shape a ceramic piece by hand. The wheel throwing taster teaches you to centre and shape clay, and one piece is glazed and kiln-fired to collect 4 weeks later.
Groups, dates and family days out
Come as a couple, with friends or with children. For celebrations, private hand-building classes run for 8 or more from £28 per person, and the studio can be hired for parties and team events.
