Open House 2020

Trinity Buoy Wharf opens its doors to the general public as part of Open House 2020, providing a chance to see and explore architecture and art in our unique riverside location.

For the past three decades, Open City has put on the Open House festival celebrating London’s architecture and urban landscape. This years Open House features a rich mix of events, tours, carefully-managed building openings and film premieres reconnecting us with the city we’ve been locked out of for months.

This beginner’s private lesson is the perfect way to learn, explore & have fun creating hand-made ceramics. Not only that you can bring a friend for free!

Via a step-by-step journey of fundamental hand-building techniques such as pinching, coiling, slab-building & surface decoration, you will explore the exciting world of ceramics. No matter your creative experience or capabilities, you’ll learn the skills to create a bowl/pot & leave busting with pride. But the fun doesn’t stop there, your clay is air-dry therefore you can take it home & keep it forever!
