Odile Cadiot Ceramics

This workspace was fantastic. I bought it for a friend and myself for her birthday. Zach was great and very helpful and engaging. We really enjoyed the class and would definitely recommend it.

The teaching was humorous and engaging with many pottery related puns being exchanged to lighten and liven up the mood. Even though my partner and I are 10 minutes late into the class, we managed to catch up with breeze and ease with the effective guidance. Technical tools, processes and their respective purposes, are clearly explained. The class size is great for any popping inquiry to be amply answered. It is a great date idea to pick up a new skill interest on a weekend and create tangible memories with your loved ones. What's more, there will be a piece of handcrafted memorabilia which could be taken home. Highly recommend!

Great

Great

Everything was perfect about this workshop. Great teacher, very patient, friendly and knowledgeable! The venue was also wonderful, lots of plants and natural light to work in. We learnt all the basics to get started on the wheel and also made 2 wonderful bowls that we can't wait to collect. All in all, a wonderful experience that I look forward to repeating soon. Thank you!

Brilliant experience! Got it as a birthday treat and it was a fun thing to do with a friend and learn something new! Found it very relaxing and creative and the teacher was really great! Definitely recommend!

This was an excellent class. Zach was very patient and a great and fun teacher. We loved it.

excellent ambience......very friendly teachers....was a wonderful experience!

Great class, really well paced with lots of support. Can’t wait to collect our finished bowls after firing.

Really great course!

Fantastic first lesson on the wheel. Odile is so knowledgeable and encouraging, and such a good teacher as well as being a lovely person Can't wait for my next lesson!

Odile is a great teacher and a genuinely lovely person. Highly recommended!

It was an amazing experience, Zach was wonderful and we had a lot of fun. It's truly a very nice activity.

Had never done anything like this before, but I really enjoyed it. The session was was paced, and the staff were patient and good fun.

We had a great time making our mugs on Sunday. The group was a good size and Zak was very attentive - especially since one of us couldn't seem to roll out the clay! Can't wait to pick up our finished pieces. Highly recommend and great value for money! Massive thanks to Zak and the rest of the team!

Thoroughly enjoyed the class. Suzanne is a kind and patient teacher.

This course was fun, informative, and a relaxing experience for me. Suzanne was a patient, helpful and friendly tutor. I also loved her work, the beautiful pieces of jewelry which were on display...... which really inspired me. I am really looking forward to seeing the pieces I made. I highly recommend her.

I loved this class and spent a wonderful morning at the studio. Suzanne is a lovely teacher, very kind, friendly and easy to talk to. She also offered to add a final glaze to the pieces as we run out of time after painting - porcelain is a fab material and I can't wait to see the results! I hope to be able to do another course.

This was a relaxed class - I appreciate that we were not rushed to finish our mug but instead took the time until we were happy with it! Zach is very knowledgeable and helpful :) I think maybe you could encourage beginners to go with simpler handles in the first step, as we were trying crazy shapes but not really knowing what they were for ^^

I attended a 'taster class' in ceramics (made my own cereal bowl). It was the first time I've done anything with clay since I was a teen-ager (nearly 40 years!). My instructor was very attentive, and eager to help me along the process. He patiently helped me through the process, and I am proud of my final product. The studio is also very well set up, and a great place to work. They respect lock-down rules, and give ample space to work safely. I recommend to explore your creative side.

I absolutely loved the experience -my first and certainly not my last. A fun group, Odile and Kieran really create a wonderful atmosphere - great teaching style, informative and encouraging and I was delighted with the end result! Another big plus was focusing on this one thing - for obvious reasons! Time stood still/went in a blink and I left feeling so relaxed. Thank you so much Odile and Kieran

Lovely classes in a beautiful room with very good teaching and easy to follow steps. A wonderful experience that I would highly recommend and hope to do again soon!

Odile is a wonderful teacher! She is charming and patient and gives very clear instructions that are easy to follow. The class was paced correctly without feeling rushed or drawn out. A very relaxing experience. The studio is lovely and bright with glass walls all around and is very welcoming. I really enjoyed myself and will be signing up to her other courses.

Amazing workshop! Safe during COVID times and the time flew. The professor was thorough and super helpful - all to say that now we want to sign in for regular classes.

Such fun. First time on the wheel and really enjoyed it. Odile explained things beautifully. Wished we could have stayed there for looooonger :) Excited to see how our bowls turn out once they are ready!

Odile is just lovely! She really cares for her students and she is a wonderful teacher. The atelier is also very bright and well organised. I am so glad I found her! I was really needing a bit of clay in my life!

It was a fun class, I learned how to do a mug that looked like a mug in the end, which is amazing. The instructor was professional and very nice, made me feel welcomed and definitely knew what he was doing. The only down side was that I was the only person taking that class that day, which was a bit awkward at times but it wasn't their fault, and I still had a great time.

Really great teacher and an amazing experience. First time working with clay and I can’t wait for the next class! 10/10

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience! It was lovely meeting Odile and even though I had no prior knowledge, I managed to follow along with no issues at all :) I enjoyed it so much that I've signed up for the 6 weeks Beginner's course. Can't wait to get started. :)

A beautifully creative space! We had such a lovely time crafting our bowls and can’t wait to see how they turn out. I would highly recommend this.

The workshop was well equipped with all that was needed and has a very relaxed atmosphere. I liked the fact that we got to make 4-5 handles to create different ideas.

Great teacher!!

We had a wonderful time. Odile was great. Wish I lived close so I could do it more often.

The class was held at a cosy studio in Holland Park. Odile was a great instructor - warm, friendly and patient despite our clumsiness with the clay (because we’re first timers)! I enjoyed the class immensely, and would really love to head back again. Would strongly recommend this class!

Very hands on relaxed class, lots of wheel time!

I had so much fun learning from Odile who is a great teacher! Having never done any pottery at all, it was lovely to have such clear guidance and explanations about all the aspects of learning to throw, from what the clay needs through to the movements of the wheel. It was roll-up your sleeves and get-stuck-in fun from the first moment - and I made two not so shabby bowls! Would definitely recommend Odile and the classes in the lovely studio to anyone wanting to give the wheel a try!

This was such a great class. Odile said it was the first in their new space which is really lovely – tons of natural light and big windows. Odile is super friendly and an absolutely excellent teacher. I’m so chuffed with the two bowls I managed to make thanks to her coaching. The class size of just three was perfect. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic workshop! The studio was bright and open and Odile was an amazing instructor. It was a lot of fun! I can't wait to try another claas

Had a good time there Many thanks

We had a really enjoyable afternoon doing this class. Odile was thorough in talking us through the materials and tools that we were working with. She did the demonstrations at a pace that was easy to follow. She also paid everyone enough attention so we were assured as to how we were getting on. We learnt different techniques of handling the clay, including how to shape our bowls and make modifications at different stages of making it. There are several colours of glazes that we could choose, and Odile would take our bowls away and glaze and fire them after the class. So we'd get our bowls in the post after a few weeks. As a bonus, it was also quite meditative working on clay, so overall a really nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Thanks again, Odile!

Really easy to follow and a lot of fun! Perfect for beginners! I went on my own and had such a good time - I love my bowls and use them all the time!

It was such a great class! Definitely suitable for beginners . Odile is very patient and a great teacher.

Loved this class! Odile was a great teacher and made it easy to follow her instructions. As a complete beginner I would definitely recommend this class. It was a fun afternoon and I can't wait to receive our finished bowls in a couple of weeks. Thank you Odile

Everything was great. The teacher explained everything very good and you could always ask something. She came to you to help or to review your work. I now know how to work with clay and how mugs are made.

Our pottery class was so much fun, the only thing I regret is not booking a longer class! Odile was very calm and taught us the ropes, always on hand to help when anything went wrong! Now we want to book more!

Had the most fantastic, absorbing, relaxing afternoon with Odile in her lovely spacious studio. She explained each step well and showed us simply how to go through the process of building our own slab pottery mug, and everyone in the group produce something unique and brilliant! I can’t wait to receive the finished product :oD

Fantastic workshop, couldn't have asked for a better instructor or experience. Would recommend to anyone!!!

Great course awesome teacher and good taste of pottery on the wheel!

Odile is a great teacher but I would recommend booking a workshop for 2 hours.

The class was so enjoyable and Odile a fantastic and v friendly teacher. Can't wait to see my fired bowel!

Excellent facilities. Friendly and highly skilled teacher. Small group of 3 students. Thoroughly enjoyed my first pottery class. Thank you!

Great class,teacher was very patient to teach us and I will definitely come back again! Had a lot of fun

We went to Odile's class as a group of 3 for one of the girls birthdays. We all had a wonderful time! Odile is super friendly and very good at walking you through the process of making your first piece. We only wished we could have stayed all afternoon and kept playing. It was a lot of fun. Thanks Odile!!

We had another brilliant session with Odile. Space to work independently, with support when you need it. Excited for the next class!

Odile is great! Her instructions are clear and helpful, which makes the class so much easier if you have no idea what you're doing. I really enjoyed her creative advice which helped to turn my ideas into something real. She really knows what she's doing!

A fun, relaxed and enjoyable workshop, lovely studio, inspirational and very friendly teacher, will definitely be booking more workshops here and recommending to friends 😊💖

Best experience!

An excellent introduction to the pottery wheel! Odile was a brilliant, patient teacher who taught us the basics and aided us in producing our bowls. Nice , accessible venue.

The class was wonderful and so was Odile! The step-based approach to using the wheel and preparing the clay was concise and useful when put into practice. Odile was unendingly patient with a first-time wheel-er like me, and her love of clay and of teaching her art was a joy to experience! Thank you, Odile; I can’t wait to come back!

Oddie was great! I arranged this workshop for my partners birthday and we really enjoyed it. I'm sure we'll be back soon.

I had a great time! Odile was lovely, really helpful and patient. Would go again!

Odile was such an amazing teacher and very kind throughout. She made us all feel very comfortable and encouraged us to keep persisting with our throwing techniques even if we were struggling. Wonderful workshop, definitely recommend and well worth the money!

Had a great time at the Wheel Workshop! Very informative and fun, and the small group helped to make sure I/we had individual attention and help. It was a lovely 90 minutes, and I can't wait to see my "bowls" in their finished product! Thank you Odile, you were lovely and very helpful!

5 stars for the class and the teacher. I went on my own and had such great fun. The teacher is amazing and so super talented.

A really fun evening with an excellent casual environment to have fun and learn the basics of pottery. Would thoroughly recommend as a fun evening with a partner, a date or just generally!

Odile is an amazing teacher and the space is great. And I now own a gorgeous mug that I made myself!!!

Highly recommend - would do again!

Odile was the perfect host and great teacher. Despite me being complete a complete beginner (with no hidden talents on the wheel) she was patient and helped me each step of the way. A great way to try something new!

The pottery workshop was a surprise present by my boyfriend. It was such a joy. Wonderful tuition and fun making a pot. Looking forward to get it in the future.

I learned how to work with clay on the wheel: how to form it and dry it ready for firing. I was blown away with the bowl I made. It was brilliant. Odile is an amazing teacher with such a gentle calm manner. I loved the workshop !

Odile was so friendly and a brilliant teacher. Her class was really informative and a great first foray into pottery

Great pottery session suitable for beginners as well! Odile created a lovely relaxed environnement for us to form our very own breakfast bowl-authentic, no-fuss, simply a nice experience I d recomend to anyone looking to get their hands full with clay:) Thanks Odile-looking forward to receiving the bowls

Really enjoyed the class with Odile! Would come back again

Great experience with Odile. The slot was created for us and as soon as we arrived Odile was welcoming, a great teacher and was both informative and interactive. 90 minutes later I was only left wishing we had longer. Would recommend to anyone!

The workshop was really great! Would highly recommend this workshop for anyone wanting to try out the pottery wheel!

Brilliant session & great tuition from Odile who is really friendly. The small group size means its almost 1:1 guidance, which is a bonus. The space to work is lovely too. Definitely would recommend it. We were enjoying it so much, the only disappointment was with how quickly the time flew by!

Great facilities and a wonderful teacher! Odile is extremely welcoming and friendly. The class started with us learning how to prep the clay before centering it on the wheel and finally throwing. Odile was very encouraging and really knows her stuff. It was a wonderful experience and I'd highly recommend it

A very enjoyable class that has given me the bug! We used the wheel to make a bowl or two and it was great fun. A lot harder than you think. Odile was very friendly and with only 3 people in the class you get lots of attention! Odile finishes off the bowls and will send to us in 3 weeks, I can't wait to see my creation! I only wish it was longer as time seem to fly!

I had a fantastic time at Odile’s workshop. She was hugely instructive and made pottery seem easy. She didn’t rush us and allowed us to take our time and just have fun with it. Highly recommend the class!

Odile was a perfect teacher, very patient and gave a couple of demos so we could really get to grips with the process of using the wheel. She guided very calmly and stepped in to save the day when things start to go pear-shaped! Beautiful studio and surroundings. Will definitely go back again!

Such a nice surprise to walk into the class and find out that it was only for myself and another person. With such a small class it was really easy to develop the skills quickly. Odile was friendly and supportive. She gave clear demos and instructions. Really nice way to spend a weekend. Highly recommend!

The workshop was great. Odile was lovely and her tips were on point! I had a fantastic time

I loved this class. Odile is a great teacher and I am now completely hooked. I’ve already booked more classes with her. Absolutely recommend this

The course was intimate and a lot of fun. I definitely recommend it!

Fantastic time at this workshop - I just wish I had longer to spend on the wheel. Odile was a great tutor and I can't wait to see the bowls we produced.

Wonderful class! Great location and Odile was a lovely teacher. Looking forward to signing up for more!

Everything about the class was wonderful! Good location and Odile is a great teacher - looking forward to signing up for more!

Very enjoyable workshop.

Enjoyed the workshop tremendously, the teaching was very clear and personal. Workshop is big, airy, wonderful environment to learn pottery. Would definitely signing up for more!

A wonderful way to spend a couple of hours learning something new. Odile was fantastic. She explained everything really well and was very patient and helpful. The space and group size were also good and it feels great to make something with your own hands! Thank you.

Lovely idea for a date. Small teaching group. Great session! Definitely would recommend.

I took part to the Wheel pottery workshop and I found it absolutely brilliant. Odille is very sweet and she explains everything clearly, breaking down in steps in order to make everything even simpler. I went there with a friend with Asperger Syndrome and Odille has been superb. Herself and her activity is very inclusive for whom has got conditions and hasn't: touching clay and all other materials is very primordial, very therapeutic and everyone can benefit from it. As I suggested he it would be fantastic if she could run a weekly course to enter in depth in the art. Thank you Odille

Odile is really nice and provide clear explanations. I was happy with the result... can't wait to receive my mug in a few weeks!

Thank you Odile for this really relaxing moment. Looking forward to do it again.

Makes a brilliant cup of tea and has a great simple method of explaining how to work on a wheel. Classes are a good size which means everyone gets help. I can't wait to see the end result!!!

Really enjoyed making my mug! Every step was explained in detail, the atmosphere was lovely and relaxed, lots of encouragement from Odile and a great mug made by the end of the class - highly recommend!

Brilliant

Super nice class! Really reccommend to try it!

Odile is an absolute delight! Fun, professional and clearly a master at her craft. I highly recommend for a calm Sunday afternoon activity. We had a great time. Thank you!

That was very interesting experience! thank you, Odile!

It was a really great workshop, and as it was a small group we were able to get a lot of help and attention throughout. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to try out the pottery wheel and have a little Ghost moment!

Great class, Odile was great at explaining every step and was very helpful and encouraging. I have only tried wheel pottery (once and it was also a class with Odile!) before this class and I was surprised at how well my mug turned out to be!

Odile is such a lovely teacher, super patient and super clear with instructions. The class is great for beginners and people with some experience but want to learn more. The studio is absolutely stunning, such a lovely creative environment, I am definitely going back for more classes with Odile!

It is a nice experience for my first wheel pottery workshop, Odile explains everything so clear for beginners. Enjoy the workshop so much!☺️☺️

Odile was a thoughtful and helpful teacher who took time with each workshop participant one-on-one. The class was great value and I would definitely come again. Her studio is beautiful too!

Place it self was very cute . Odille was amazing with instructions , it was super easy to follow and make stuff. Definitely going back to learn more.

My partner and I had so much fun centre-ing and throwing on the wheel, making our own breakfast/pasta/salad bowls. We are so excited to see the glazed and fired products in a few weeks' time! Odile is an amazing tutor and an impressive artist and potter. She gave very clear instructions, was incredibly patient, and extremely encouraging. Odile was also fantastic at meeting her students at our different experience levels and making sure that we were all able to achieve our goals for the lesson. We had a such a wonderful time today and will definitely be back for more lessons!

Great workshop - Odile is a wonderful, patient teacher and explains everything really clearly. It is a very relaxed class in a lovely bright, airy studio. Would highly recommend!

Great class, really enjoyed it, Odile was very friendly and made sure we all had something made by the end of the class! Looking forward to receive our pieces!

Odile was wonderfully helpful and clear with her teaching, in which we made great use of the hour and a half making 2 bowls. She has fantastic troubleshooting skills to make any mistake into a purpose ;) An intimate session with 3 people in total so you really do get attention and help. I'll be back! Great environment and thank you for making my first experience so memorable and positive! :)

Very friendly hosting coupled with an amazing time learning how to make our first piece of pottery and will not be our last!

A great workshop for beginners in a very friendly studio learning the basic skills required to work clay on a wheel. Started with an in depth demonstration of all the techniques we would be using before getting our hands dirty and making our bowls (with a little help)! Would highly recommend!

Odile’s workshop was so much fun! Odile was super friendly, a fantastic teacher, informative and fun. The venue is an old college turned into creative studios which is a really nice idea! I’ve never worked with clay before and made my own bowl! I would highly recommend and definitely return for more workshops.

Enjoyed the class very much.

This workshop was great - really fun and rewarding. It was a class of three so we each got a lot of one-on-one attention. It's harder than it looks but Odile was great at guiding me through the steps. Can't wait to see my glazed pot!

Odile' pottery wheel class was absolutely superb. I can't thank her enough for the best fun I've had in ages. I came away feeling over the moon at having started learning a new skill in the most relaxed and supportive environment. Odile is a truly wonderful teacher and is brimming with expert knowledge, enthusiasm and encouragement. Her passion for her work really shines through. Thank you Odile - I will definitely be returning very soon.

Fantastic class and lovely lady leading it! It was such good fun. 10/10 would recommend.

Enjoyed the workshop very much. Learnt a lot of throwing techniques and had sufficient time to practice the skills. Highly recommended.

Odile is a fantastic teacher. There are only 3 people in total so she's able to give great individual attention. Odile teaches you how to get started using a pottery wheel and how to shape a bowl, which she will glaze and send to you.

We had such a fun afternoon and despite our intial misgivings that we would make a complete mess, we made two pots that Odile is kindly glazing and posting to us.It was our first time using a pottery wheel, however Odile, with her initial demonstration, made it all seem so simple. She then guided us through the process step by step, giving assistance and encouragement when needed and making the experience throughly enjoyable and positive. Odile is welcoming and friendly and we would definitely recommend her workshop. Both of us would like to go back to have another go!

Really pleased with the session! Loved it.

I absolutely loved this class! The studio is part of a larger shared artists space (Kindred Studios) which is based near Maida Vale and super easy to get to. When I arrived Odile had a cup of tea brewing, and I had a chance to have a look around before the class started. The studio itself is really lovely and bright, and gives such a great insight in to the inner workings of a full time ceramicist. The class started with such an expert demonstration from Odile that I thought I would be picking up the wheel throwing in no time, little did I realise that her skills make it look a lot easier than it is (it's also totally mesmerising to watch)! We then spent some time cutting and shaping our clay into usable pieces ready to start throwing on the wheel. Of course this was my favourite part of the workshop, and after a few failed attempts, and lots of help and patience from Odile, I finally got the hang of it (I think!) and managed to create a bowl that I was incredibly happy with. It's such a great feeling of accomplishment, and I can't wait to see the bowl once it's glazed and fired. Something I didn't know, glazing is basically like a light coat of paint, and Odile gave us choices on the colour - bonus! I left the studio with a big smile on my face and have definitely got the pottery bug. Thank you so much to Odile and Obby for the perfect Sunday - 5 stars!!!

It was really nice! We enjoyed it a lot. We will definitely come again and make more bowls and mugs :D

Brilliant workshop, lots of fun and very relaxing!
