What to expect
We run our classes in 4 week sessions. This makes it easier to fit it into your schedule and keeps it affordable. You’re welcome to only attend one four week session if you choose to, but we must warn you pottery is incredibly addictive and you will probably want to attend more! On the third week of class you have the option of signing up for another month of classes and then we put any empty spots on the website ( join our mailing list to be notified)
We teach throwing and handbuilding in most of our classes. Most students want to start on the wheel and we will take new students through the process of throwing, trimming and glazing a pot. If throwing isn’t for you give handbuilding a try. There are many ways to make something from clay and you are welcome to try as many as you wish from pinching to coiling to slab building.
If you prefer to attend a class which is only throwing or only handbuilding we have those too! At the end of the 4 week period you are welcome to switch to another class time, just ask your teacher about available space. Unfortunately we aren’t able to switch students to another class mid - month.
Our favorite comment from customers is “pottery class is the favorite part of my week” So if you feel like your week needs a little calm and creative time just for you come join us!
“With no pottery experience (and really no art experience) I started taking classes at LCW six years ago. Now my home is filled with original pieces and I always have presents to give my loved ones! Great place to learn or get back into a fully stocked studio with teachers to help at any level.” Sarah
“Awesome teachers. I come in with a pottery idea and they help me figure it out! Love London Clayworks!! Last project… orchid pot!” James
