Me and my friend had a great experience at Social Pottery Making. The instructor was extremely knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable even as beginners. The painting session was fun. All the staff are lovely and welcoming. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested.

Social Pottery helped us organize a beautiful pottery painting workshop for 30 students! Everyone had a great time. Chloe was especially helpful through the process, and extremely accommodating to all our requests! A must do for anyone looking for a nice decompression workshop!
KADRA made us feel so welcomed and gave us a tutorial at the beginning. She kept on checking up on us too. I ordered a hot chocolate with oat milk and it was really nice. Overall wholesome vibe 😊. Will 100% recommend this to friends and will come again🙌🏾🥳
Such a lovely Sunday afternoon spent here. Ying was so lovely and so helpful- she made sure we were happy, had what we needed, and ensured even when she left that we had everything. Would totally recommend!
Came here twice in the space of two weeks!!! Just shows how much I love this place , the staff are all incredible and so friendly I couldn’t recommend enough!! Made sure we had everything we needed and I had such great conversations with some will definitely see me again soon!
We were a group of 4, had a lovely experience. Definitely recommend, its a little treat. The staff is friendly and polite, theres also a mini coffee ‘shop’ inside if you get thirsty 🥰
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Pottery, answered.
How much does pottery painting cost?
You pay for the piece you choose plus a studio fee, and that covers paints, tools, glazing and kiln firing. Both vary by studio, so the current prices are listed on each studio page and at booking.
Where can I do pottery painting in London?
Studio 136 in Kentish Town, White City inside Westfield, and Balham in South London, plus Studio 150 in Milton Keynes. Camden (Studio 221) is a making studio: wheel and hand-building only.
Can I bring my own drinks?
Yes, on Sip & Paint and late-night sessions. Adult sessions are 18+, and 13–17 year-olds may attend with a guardian. Drinks must be in cans, maximum two per person.
Do I need experience to try the wheel?
None, wheel classes are designed for complete beginners. A 90-minute guided session with a tutor produces two thrown pieces. Available at Camden, Balham & Milton Keynes.
How long until I get my pottery back?
Painted pottery is ready in 2–3 weeks: sooner at some studios, and we message you the moment it is. You then have 30 days to collect from the studio where you made it.
