Group Bookings

2 Hours – $385 up to 7 people and $50pp up to 10 students total
3 Hours – $545 up to 7 people and $70pp up to 10 students total
Do you have a work group or group of friends that would like to do a 2 hour BYO but Friday night doesn’t work for you? Book your group in for a 2 or 3 hour session for up to 9 people at a time and day that works for us both.

Your teacher will guide you on your journey to make either a cup/mug, or a small dish or platter. You’ll be able to either decorate your piece with a bit of colour or emboss patterns.

The 2 hour session is a fun, casual intro to clay, a chance to have a laugh and get your hands a little dirty. The 3 hour session is more of a workshop and will give you the time to really focus in on your piece. The 3 hour session is more suited to parties where you’d like the extra time to cut a cake or give a few speeches.

You’re free to BYO to the group bookings.

BYOG
Hand building isn’t too messy, but wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little dirty. An apron is a good idea
Clip your fingernails if possible. Pinch pots are very difficult with long nails.
Closed in shoes(no thongs or sandals as there will be sharp tools on the table)
You’ll be working at the tables in the hand building space, this class is not on the pottery wheel. But do speak to us if you’d like to chat about a private wheel group session.

Your pieces will take about 1 week to dry. After that they’ll be fired once, glazed, then fired again. The whole process takes 3 to 4 weeks, but may take a little longer depending on current work load.

If, at the end of the workshop, you’ve finalised your piece with no colour, we dip your work in a white glaze, but if you have decorated with our underglaze paints or slip, we’ll dip it in a clear glaze. This dip glazing is recommended as it will give your work a smooth finish making them easy to clean.

Because of the room size and Covid rules, this class is limited to 9 students. Those students will be separated across 2 large work tables.

Fill in your details below including dates and times you have in mind and we’ll get back to you asap. Alternatively you can call us on (02) 4346 4459 for a chat.

Our group pottery class offers a creative and enjoyable way to spend time with family and friends while acquiring a new skill. We offer day and evening lessons, term-based classes, and workshops. Holidaymakers are welcome.

What Are the Benefits of Taking a Group Pottery Class?

We all have a creative spark inside us. Discover a channel of expression for your imagination and inventive spirit.

Our lessons allow you to experience the company of like-minded individuals while learning how to invent and fashion beautiful objects.
We offer three-hour workshops during which you can hand-make two customised bowls for your pet, fashion and decorate a mug or two, shape pots for your succulents, or sculpt a clay figure. If you can’t decide which design you want to try before the lesson starts, we will gladly assist with ideas. We welcome all students regardless of their level. Why not have a pottery class birthday party at our welcoming studio?
Our Beginners Wheel four-hour pottery workshops take place on Saturdays. These workshops will suit those who want a quick refresher and novices who wish to learn wheel-throwing basics such as wedging, centring, shaping receptacles, and storing your clay.
You can pick up the pieces that you’ve made approximately three weeks later, once we have glazed and fired them. Let us know if you’re on holiday so that we can mail the finished pieces to you.

Developing your creativity helps you to find new perspectives on work and life problems, be flexible in uncertain times, adapt your thinking, and see things a little differently.

What Is a Pottery Class Birthday Party?

Your little ones can make use of this unique and original way to celebrate an event, socialise, and add a new skill to their set.

We are a registered Creative Kids provider offering five-hour children’s workshops−including lunch−for youngsters ten years and older during the school holidays.
The kids build two pieces, crafting a mug or small planter in an animal shape while learning the slab building technique in the morning, and discovering pinch pot techniques while making a Mexican Day of the Dead skull after lunch.
