This is a fun activity in Bankside, London

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

Perfect for complete beginners, this relaxed 2-hour 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 making your own cup, bowl or ceramic vessel. Even complete beginners are often surprised by what they create in a single session.

We provide everything you need including unlimited clay, tools and aprons — just dress comfortably and trim your nails beforehand for the best experience. The studio is fully air conditioned, so it stays comfortable whatever the weather is doing outside.

At the end of the session, choose your favourite pieces to be professionally glazed and kiln-fired in either 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. Bring your own favourite drinks along to top off the experience.

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

Really accessible for beginners and those who have done a bit of throwing before. Liza was great and explained and demonstrated techniques really clearly. Would absolutely recommend!

Overall we really enjoyed the experience of the Workshop, However we were really disappointed to discover that we would have to pay an additional £10 per item we made in the class. This is not mentioned in the website or on the booking anywhere. It’s really unreasonable and although we enjoyed it we wouldn’t book in again sadly. Given that we already paid £80 for the workshop which was about 1hr 15 mins with the set up and clean down. One piece minimum should be able to be glazed for Free with our booking but we paid £50 plus £15 shipping which I know the shipping would cost £7.95 max for a up to 5kg box as a business owner myself that uses RM daily. The workshop and say in total with the 7hr round trip i had to make. was £145 for the work shop for 2 trinket dishes. I think it’s really expensive for what it was, the hidden costs are not advertised and were only explained in the workshop. We will leave an online review aswell. Had fun in the session but for £80 for 2 not £165 sadly.

This was an excellent class. The teacher (Tanvir) was very friendly and helpful. She guided us through the steps of throwing a pot and then let us do our own thing with just the right amount of help. My only wish is that the class was slightly longer; I would have been happy with an extra hour.

Came with a friend for her birthday and we both loved the class. Our instructor was genuine and thoughtful, cannot complain at all!!! Bring a second pair of trousers with you, you will get messy even with an apron. Highly recommend
