What happens in this class?

Join us at the LSOM for festive family clay workshops. All ages and skill levels welcome. We will use clay to make Christmas gifts and decorations, with younger participants rolling out clay with cookie cutters and decorating with colour, or making small “free-range” sculptural pieces.

Adults (over 16) are invited to learn the Japanese craft of nerikomi, using coloured clay. Nerikomi involves marbling, rolling out, stacking and slicing the coloured clays to create intricate and sometimes surprising patterns. The 90 minute session would allow time to make a small dish or saucer and perhaps also a tile or coaster…

Very disappointing. We were we all squashed together considering how big the space was. It was incredibly rushed The teacher (who was lovely) couldn’t give one to one help and the time was so limited everyone was really rushing to get a few pieces made. Most of my prices had to be thrown away as they were broken and cracked when I collected them. Also they were not even glazed.

The class was great fun. It would have benefitted from being 2 hours instead of 1 and a half. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Loved it. Reckon could have been half hour longer and charged a more also. Felt like a bargain for £20. Brilliant teacher and nice group of people, was really enjoyable and will definitely do more of these types of "taster" courses in the future. Thanks

It was interesting to learn a new clay technic. The class was small and friendly. I enjoyed making Christmas decorations. Would do it all again. Thanks Mattie

I have taken pottery classes with Matilda Moreton in the past, so I know she is a superb teacher. I was extremely surprised to discover the venue, the London School of Mosaics, which is local to me, such a fantastic, creative space. I look forward to future events.

The ceramics workshop was immense fun and our instructor Matilda made it enjoyable and easy to learn the skill of Nerikomi. I was happy that in one and an half hours I managed to make several dishes. Lots of personal attention whenever I needed help and definitely would do this class again.

Excellent class, Matilda was a really good teacher and I really enjoyed being creative with the coloured clay. I just wish the session could have been about 30 minutes longer. I'd have been happy to pay more.

What a joy to spend some time creatively. Absolutely recommendable, Matilda gave exactly the right balance between demonstrations and giving course participants space to play and experiment! Thank you so much!
