Top 10 Best Ceramics classes, courses, learnings kits and gifts in the UK

Great experience. My girlfriend and I had a great time trying out pottery for the first time. The instructor was very helpful! Highly recommend!

Absolutely wonderful session with the extraordinary Emilie! I'll come back :)

This was a great workshop for a first introduction to Pottery. It was relaxed yet you are given all the instructions and support to create your first item of pottery. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it!

I went to Odile for learning to throw clay on a wheel. My experience was very satisfying, and I'm very proud of the pieces I made. Odile was patient, thorough, and very helpful. I went to sample if I liked to throw clay -- now I'm seeking how to increase my experience by going back for more.

I loved learning how to use this method. Liz is a brilliant teacher. The goes at a good pace and is really supportive. There’s a good number of people in the class so you don’t get lost or have to wait too long for help. Would highly recommend.

This is the best class I've done at Decima. It was very well taught, and presented lots of options for creativity - loads of colours, moulds (from tiny pots to big plates) and ways to play with marbling. It's also better paced than some of Decima's other classes: you can easily make two items, if not three or even four. My only comment is that, unlike the pics in this listing suggest, the class really isn't about checkerboard pottery. I had gone to the class intending to focus on that pattern, but it turns out it's really time-consuming, and not really what the class is about - it's much more about marbling. Also, you work with white base clay and add patterns onto it (which is very understandable as they go to the trouble of making their own coloured clay), so you couldn't really make the two-coloured checkerboard shown in some of the pics. Two people in the class did make checkerboard pieces, so it is possible, but in the end, I actually preferred the creativity of the marbling process. I'm very much looking forward to picking up my pieces.

Great experience and lovely session!

This class was so fun, even more fun than I expected. Sorrel is a great teacher with a great sense of humour!

Super nice event, had a lot of fun and super helpful people working there

Thank you for a super clear intro and the consistent guidance. Will be coming again!

I booked the class for my daughters and myself and we all enjoyed the pottery class . Patrick was very attentive .

The teachers were so lovely and it was nice to chat, very open to our ideas and help us make a good-looking pot. A relaxing experience I would do again

Absolutely loved this and will be returning for more lessons.

Absolutely brilliant - Alex was lovely, explained everything really well and let us use some creative freedoms! Very enjoyable and great atmosphere - highly recommended!

Really loved this class! As a total novice, Sorrel was super clear and helpful when explaining the process. It was also really interesting to learn about medieval techniques and popular themes which Sorrel is clearly passionate about. Such a fun way to spend an evening. Highly recommend to anyone, whatever your ceramics experience!

Amazing experience!!!

The evening courses with Camilla were brilliant. Camilla is a patient and attentive tutor who is generous with her time and knowledge. I'd recommend this course to anyone.

Candy is a great teacher. Very patient with me as am a novice potter. I had lots of fun exploring the techniques of handling the clay and working it on the potter's wheel. Would more private lessons her studio. Looking forward in collecting my jug and dish that I made.

It was such a beautiful experience for me as it was my first time doing this. I felt very much in touch with my creative and feminine side, and it gave me so much energy and inspiration! Definitely not my last class with her. Can’t recommend her enough as she’s so gentle, sweet and caring, guiding us step by step through the process. 🦋💘
