It was 2023, and my brother and I were hungry to do something different — something meaningful that truly stood out. We’ve always been wired to think outside the box, and after hosting a few casual get-togethers with friends, we felt a pull to build something bigger. Something that fused creativity, culture, and connection.

One evening, while tossing around ideas, we landed on the concept of “paint and sip” nights. People clearly loved them — relaxed, creative, and social. But we asked ourselves: what if we could take that same energy and turn it into something even more hands-on and immersive?

That’s when it clicked: social pottery.

It felt like the perfect blend of everything we cared about. Not just painting — but sculpting, shaping, expressing. All in a setting with good music, good people, and a relaxed vibe where laughter and creativity flowed freely. It wasn’t long before we realised this could be more than just a fun night out — it could be one of the most memorable team building activities in London

From that moment, the vision was clear. We weren’t just starting a business; we were building an experience. One that encouraged connection, creativity, and community — all through clay.

That was the spark. The beginning of something real.

???? Part 2 drops next month — we’ll share how we planned and launched our first-ever social pottery event, including the highs, the hurdles, and the unexpected moments that shaped it all.
