Birthday Pottery Workshop London | Private Studio Sessions
Celebrate a birthday with a private, hands-on pottery session in Doppiocotto's working ceramics studio in Waterloo, London SE1 — a two-minute walk from Waterloo station. Sessions are taught personally by ceramic artist Bora Cetin, who has 25 years of experience working with clay, in the same studio where every piece in the Doppiocotto shop is made by hand.
Why pottery for a birthday
