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.

We had Margo showing us the ropes, and she was absolutely amazing. She was so friendly, patient and helpful, and really made the whole experience even more enjoyable. She explained everything clearly and made us feel comfortable even though we had never done it before. The pottery wheel throwing itself was such a fun and memorable experience, and we had such a good time from start to finish. It was something a little different and definitely an experience I’d recommend to others. I would 100% book again. Thank you so much, Margo!

It was my first time trying pottery wheel throwing, I got to create 3 pieces (two plates and one flower vase). Studio was super clean and Tilly was brilliant with the demo and coming over to help. Thanks so much for an amazing experience!

Tilly was amazing and super friendly. She taught the session so well and helped me whenever I needed any assistance. Pottery ended up being much easier than I anticipated. Would definitely recommend this place if you're looking to try out some pottery and get creative.

I would like to say a big thank you to our instructor, Anita! From the very beginning of the class, she explained everything clearly and made it easy to understand how to make our pieces. She was very helpful and took the time to support everyone individually. The studio was also lovely — very spacious, bright and comfortable, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. This class was given to me as a gift card for my birthday, and I’m so happy with the experience and the result. I’m really glad I came! I would definitely recommend this workshop.
