Pottery, answered

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It depends on the clay. Terracotta — the brown pieces — is the tougher, more heat-resistant one, so it is safe. Earthenware — the white pieces — is softer and is not: you can serve hot food in it, but keep it out of the microwave, oven and dishwasher.

It is not compulsory, but we strongly recommend it — booked pieces are found and set aside the night before, so yours is waiting for you. The exact time you pick does not matter, any slot that day works. Turn up unbooked and the team may need longer to track your piece down.

We can, though we would rather you collected it: ceramics are fragile and we cannot take responsibility for breakage in transit. Delivery is £10 per parcel to most UK addresses and everything usually fits in one. We invoice you once you confirm the address.

Refunds go back to the original payment method and take 3–5 days to process.

All gift vouchers are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase — extensions available upon request.

Yes — choose a future delivery date at checkout and we'll send it that morning.

Any remaining balance stays on the voucher for future bookings or pieces.

Vouchers are delivered digitally via email and can be printed at home.

Non-refundable but freely transferable — and do get in touch about special circumstances.

Yes, vouchers apply to bookings including studio fees; some premium sessions may need a small top-up.

Team events from 4 to 150 guests in-studio — and up to 1000 off-site. Under 30 guests fits a Sip & Paint format; bespoke packages start at 10 guests from £30 pp for 2.5 hours.

Yes — mobile sessions for groups of 10+, with a £50–£100 travel fee depending on location.

Painted pottery is ready in 2–3 weeks; clay pieces in around 3–4 weeks. Collection or shipping available.

10% for charities and students, 15% for NHS teams — Tuesday to Friday, painting sessions only.

Of course — full VAT invoices for all corporate bookings.

BYOB only — no external catering, but drinks are welcome for 18+ groups.

Corporate and private events: a 50% booking fee is due 15 days before the event and is non-refundable; reschedule with 7 days' notice within a 3-month window.
