Pottery Making Experiences at Camden Town
What to Expect
Step into the world of pottery at Studio 221, just moments from Camden Station and a short walk from King’s Cross. Our 1.5 or 2-hour sessions are designed to introduce you to the art of wheel throwing, with friendly guidance from our expert tutors every step of the way.
- No need to bring anything – we provide everything: clay, tools, aprons, and expert instruction. Sessions start at just £45 per person.
- Want your creations professionally fired and glazed? For just £5 per piece, we’ll fire them in our kiln and have them ready for collection in around 14 days.
- Prefer to take them home right after class? You’re welcome to take your fresh pieces with you – just keep in mind they won’t be as durable without firing.
Expect to shape around 2 pieces during your session – and leave with muddy hands, a happy heart, and a handmade reminder of your creative spark.
