This is a fun activity in Bankside, London

Just a 2-minute walk from London Bridge station, discover the calming joy of pottery at Maison S.Sommet.

Perfect for complete beginners, this relaxed 2-hour BYOB wheel throwing class is a chance to unwind, get messy and create your own functional ceramics in our warm and welcoming studio. Guided step-by-step by our expert teachers, you’ll learn the foundations of wheel throwing before creating your own cup, bowl or ceramic vessel. Even complete beginners are often surprised by what they create in just one session.

We provide everything you need including unlimited clay, tools and aprons — just dress comfortably and trim your nails beforehand for the best experience.

At the end of the session, select your favourite pieces to be professionally glazed and kiln-fired in your choice of our signature Cobalt Blue or Clear stoneware glaze for £10 per piece. Finished ceramics are food-safe, microwave-safe and dishwasher-safe, and are usually ready for collection within 4–5 weeks.

Perfect for date nights, birthdays, friends or solo creatives looking to try something new in London.

Our studio is fully equipped with air conditioning — ideal for escaping the heatwave.

Clay, music, good company and your new favourite mug.

We honestly had the best time during this class. The teacher is great and spent the perfect amount of time explaining the steps to us so that we could spend as much time possible with our hands in the clay. It's a special treat to come out of the class with something you made yourself. And also an extra little treat that you can bring your own booze. So fun getting messy and playful with clay. Will definitely be going back. Thank you!

Milo was great! They gave helpful step-by-step instructions, lots of encouragement and was really friendly. The class was quite busy and everyone seemed to really enjoy it: it was a nice vibe. I couldn't believe how fast the session went - we were so absorbed! We booked this event as a surprise for my friend's birthday and she loved it. The sessions are apparently moving to London Bridge soon which I think will make them more accessible and possibly even more popular so book early!

The teachers were very helpful and kind; the teaching was very well done and the instructions very clear. I loved the studio and the space and materials that we each got. I felt encouraged to try and make mistakes and ask for help. My only concern was that with one hour to try and craft, having 2 teachers for the class of 12 meant it was difficult to receive feedback and help when creating, which led to the last hour being very stressful for us. If viewing this as a trial experience with the clay, rather than to create take home products or skill-up, I would highly recommend for a first timer!
