Our story

Potato Eye started as a small rebellion against the pace of London.

Created by a Londoner who spent 10 years in the corporate world
and realised something was missing -
something more human, more creative, more FUN.

Created by a Londoner who spent 10 years
in the corporate world and realised something
was missing - something more human, more creative, more FUN.

So this corporate girl boss stepped away from a polished career
and created Potato Eye Creative Space - a place to switch off, make something with your hands
(no experience needed), and enjoy it with a glass of sparkling Dalston soda (or something
a little sparklier) and vinyl.

Workshops are kept small (up to 8 people), so the experience feels calm and personal rather than rushed or crowded.

There’s no expectation to be good at anything,
and no pressure to turn it into a skill. But you will have
a genuinely great time - and probably leave with something
you didn’t expect to like as much as you do.

and had the best time. The space
is just around the corner from funky Dalston bars which was
very convenient."

“Loved everything about it -
the music, the atmosphere, the people.
I made a beautiful mosaic jewellery plate and gifted it to my sister - she’s obsessed. It felt more like a curated
experience than a class.."

The space is beautiful
and thoughtfully designed -
it feels cozy and personal, not like
a typical workshop. Very relaxed, welcoming, and easy to enjoy

Location

Potato Eye is located in the heart of Dalston -
messy, creative, unpredictable Dalston.

It’s 5 minutes from Dalston Kingsland, 8 from Dalston Junction, and about 23 minutes from Oxford Circus.
But don’t just come for the workshop. Come for the whole day.

Start with a workshop at Potato Eye, then let Dalston take over.Brunch that turns into afternoon drinks. Cafés you sit in longer than planned. Bars you “accidentally” find.
