The Potter’s Wheel, Kew Gardens

Students who happen to glance through the window of The Potter’s Wheel can hope to do more than simply imagine their artwork on display. Inside the teaching studio and art gallery, work created by The Potter’s Wheel’s patrons fill the shelves: perfectly thrown plates, painstakingly crafted mugs, ornate vases for flowers, or even smaller vases.

Aspiring artists can enroll in for classes, where they’ll learn to hone their skills in hand building and wheel-throwing under the tutelage of ceramics professionals. These instructors lead their spattered flock toward their individual goals with patience and skill, whether a student wants to showcase their artwork at studios and craft fairs or create a new, better family out of clay figurines.
