Top 10 Best Pottery And Mosaics classes, courses, learnings kits and gifts in the UK

Had an incredible time at the pottery workshop with Sampada. Booked for myself and two friends and we all had no experience using a pottery wheel before and were all nervous, but came out of it really wanting to try more and with more confidence after Sampada’s careful and detailed instruction. She was very attentive to all the students for both the wheel and hand-building portions of the session and taught key techniques in a way that was easy for us to follow. Sampada’s studio is really beautiful and cosy, and the time you get for the price is really good compared to other workshops in the area. Highly recommend and will definitely be back :)

What an incredible course! I will be going again and have recommended to all my friends family and colleagues. Th instruction was great and the space beautiful - what a great way to spend an evening. Cannot recommend enough!

Really fun, staff were friendly and happy to guide designs. worth it!

A really nice way to spend an afternoon !! After walking through the city to a beautiful space we were met with our teacher for the afternoon Daisy. What a lovely, friendly and approachable young lady who guided us through the basics of making thumb pots, coil pots, and sharing techniques to making flat sheets of clay and how to join these successfully, and various other tips. This was held in a calm and relaxing atmosphere, where everyone felt comfortable to give it a go ! Daisy calmly assisted and taught a varied group of students with different degrees of talent and shared and demonstrated her knowledge throughout the day. An absolute credit to Art4space. I thoroughly recommend this course to take the first steps into pottery or to brush up on those key skills and to generally have a very wholesome time !!

Thanks so much we had a lovely time!

Beautiful studio. Great teacher spending the time so I really understood how to use the pottery wheel (being a beginner). Really relaxing session and I can't wait to collect my bowl in a few weeks.

Maison S.Sommet’s BYOB clay throwing ( just off the old Kent Road with parking available) offers two hours of gentle artistic bliss, though honestly, it’s the sort of experience you’ll wish could go on for twice as long. We arrived as a family of five, plus our dog, and were met by our warm and endlessly patient hostess and teacher, Tanvi. Let me tell you, Tanvi is the sort of calm, guiding presence who could probably talk you through nuclear disarmament with a smile. Her instructions were clear, her encouragement unwavering, and somehow she made even the most clumsy among us feel like they had a shot at creating a masterpiece. The atmosphere was delightfully intimate. It felt safe and welcoming, like you could fully embrace your inner creative without a hint of judgement. Tanvi’s talent lay not just in her own pottery skills but in her ability to make everyone believe they had a little Michelangelo in them. And while our clay works won’t be gracing any galleries anytime soon, they’re priceless to us. There’s something genuinely therapeutic about moulding clay, your hands covered in the earthy, tactile material, letting your imagination (and your glass of wine) do the rest. It felt like the perfect escape from the chaos of everyday life. Honestly, we’d have stayed forever if we could. I highly recommend giving this a go if you’re looking to unwind and reconnect with your creative side—it’s an utterly brilliant way to spend an afternoon. Plus, who wouldn’t want to come home with something handmade and a sense of accomplishment? We’ll definitely be back.

Loved the first session- will definitely be back! zoe was extremely helpful and a great teacher- thank you!

Booked this session to surprise my mum for her birthday and it was perfect from start to finish! Mandisa allowed us the space and time to create whatever our hearts desired (and my mum was very ambitious!) while also stepping in to help and encourage when needed. We will definitely be back - thank you again!

Very fun!

Very enjoyable well-informed and well-organised event. Yet to pick up my finished pot but I have faith they'll do a fine job. Definitely recommend.

Lovely experience, I had such a good time and the teachers were great!

Brilliant workshop! My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though he was cynical beforehand. John was an excellent teacher; instructive and insightful but not over-bearing or interfering. The range of materials and tools was excellent and inspiring. This workshop really went beyond our expectations. We're only gutted we live so far away otherwise we'd definitely be signing up for a regular class. Thank you so much!

Amazing experience with Brandon. He really explained the ethos and values that underpin kintsugi. He took the time to answer questions and walk everyone through each step. It was a wonderful workshop with a collaborative atmosphere and everyone came away with a completed piece of pottery that they’d successfully reassembled using the art of kintsugi.

My first time trying a mosaic workshop and it was so much fun. Tina was friendly and helpful and no idea was 'wrong'. I found the atmosphere to be very supportive and 3 hours flew by.

Lovely studio with approachable and friendly teachers!

Brilliant workshop! Very peaceful and we now both have gorgeous mosaics. Thank you!

My niece and I really enjoyed the class and the teacher was great. She was supportive and patient. Thank you 😊

Zoe was patient, calm and informative. We went for a date activity and it was nothing less than fantastic, even if what we made wasn’t. We are hoping to go back in the near future!
