🏺 Friend of Dorothy Pottery Workshop with Lucas Buttchewits. Make Pots. Meet Gay Men. Make Friends.
This Friend of Dorothy event is about bringing gay men together in real life to connect, create and build genuine friendships.
Join ceramic artist Lucas Buttchewits for a relaxed, hands-on introduction to pottery designed for all levels. Whether you’ve never touched clay before or already enjoy creative work, this workshop offers a welcoming space to try something new while meeting people through a shared experience.
During the session you’ll explore traditional hand-building techniques including pinching, coiling and slab building to create your own tableware or decorative pieces. You’ll also experiment with decorating your work using leaves and flowers to imprint natural textures, before adding colour and personality using painted slip.
Lucas will guide you through every stage of the process — from shaping and decorating your piece to understanding how it will be glazed and kiln-fired after the workshop.
But like all Friend of Dorothy events, this isn’t just about the activity.
It’s about creating spaces where gay men can meet, talk and form real connections outside of apps and bars. With a small group and a relaxed creative atmosphere, it’s easy to chat, laugh and get to know the people around you.
All materials, tools and firings are included, and your favourite piece will be ready for collection a few weeks later.
Come get creative.
Meet new people.
Leave with something beautifully handmade — and a little more connected.
Everyone attending will also receive FREE Cum Gummies and Muscle Gummies, courtesy of Friend of Dorothy Wellness.
All profits from ticket sales will be donated to Impulse London, supporting their work promoting sexual health and wellbeing within the gay community.
